    This is my present supply of Polish.



    I was looking to either add Blackfire SRC ( 106FF ), Optimum Polish, or Optimum Compound to my inventory of tools.



    Do I really need any of these new products? I`m thinking maybe these new products would allow me to fine tune my process a little further fo rthe little bit of extra wow.



    Call me crazy, but I do like to try a new product now and then. I got the bug.

    Maybe these products are more than a novus require?



    My gallon of #80 get`s used 90% of the time for most polish jobs and I like the results.

    I was looking to expand and get that extra touch to my detailing by adding one of the above mentioned products.

    I just picked up SSR2.5 last Summer and have used it some. mixed results, more testing on my part will probably result in more comfort using it.



    I have read Blackfire SRC finish`s very nicely for that extra bling factor.



    I was also wondering #80 left too much oil ( bonding ) for an LSP of Sealant is why I was thinking of one of the other products.

    I am fine with the result of #80 with a Wax LSP of course.



    I have the following:



    Poorboys SSR1

    Poorboys SSR2.5

    3m RC FC 39002

    3m Polish for Dark cars 39009

    Megs MPPC ( 90% full )

    Megs Scratch X

    Megs #80 ( my go to )







    Thank you for any advice you can give.

    Good Lord, you`ve got quite a supply already. While I am not familiar with all, I`d suggest the Optimum polish if you`re anxious to spend $$. That product has got to be the Swiss Army knife of polishes. I was playing with it last weekend (bored, lousy weather) and continue to be amazed at what it can do when you invest the time to work with it !

    Well I don`t use the SSR1 and 3m for Dark much anymore.

    Those were the first two polishes I bought when I got the bug.

    SSR1 left a nice finish , but not much for correction. More like a glaze IMO.



    MPPC had a slight learning curve to it and now I pretty much just use #80 with decent results since it`s a little easier for me to use. I probably should use this a little more this year and see what all it can do for me.



    I have only done some spot polishing with the 3m FCRC.

    I have not tried it out for anything else, not sure how well that would work as a pre finish polish for an entire vehicle?



    From what I`ve read, Opt Polish was versatile.

    I might just send some of my other product home with my Brother next time he stops.



    Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it.
