It doesn`t (seem to) get mentioned here often, but Prima Swirl is very good IMHO

Menzerna 106FF is a popular one `round here. I`ll be trying it soon.



MEgs #9 is an easy one to work with, but it doesn`t have a heckuva lot of cut.

It depends on the type of paint and its condition.

I use 4*SMR on all my cars as maintence. It removes minor marks that have been induced over the months, tidies up that little hazing you get from washing over the months.



Good stuff and leaves a great finish, i do have mainly soft Jap paintworkt though.



I have Prima swirl, its a versatile product but it seemed to only work effectivly with the flat pads that are firm. Soft buff from Meguiars and you will get hardly any action compared to the firmer LC pads.

Good point, Geoff. I`ve used it primarily with LC orange flat pads myself.

Megs #9 could fill the Grand Canyon:rofl



Menzerna IP, SIP or ZPC work well on light to moderate marring.

Certain vehicle manufactures are known to have softer clears than others, but it can also vary from model to model.

Color will not tell you if your cc is soft or hard. What make, model and yr?

Welcome to Autopia!



Paint on a `01 VW is probably a bit on the hard side.



I`m a fan of 1Z brand polishes myself.
