Hello!



I have purchased some Turtle Wax Polishing Compound, and am wondering the differences between it and Meguiars Ultimate Compound / Polish.



I know that the TW uses linear abrasives, while the Meguiars uses SMAT, but can I still achieve the same results? I`m assuming that I should just make sure that I work the product in fully in order to make it look its best.



The Meguiars polish also contains some oils for the paint; something that the TW lacks. Would this really make a difference on a black car (2003 Toyota Avalon)?



It may be important to know that I have no experience detailing, and have never polished a car before. I will be using an orbital buffer.



Thanks!
