Recommend me some abrasives

[sf_car_guy]

I`m looking at buying some new abrasives. I haven`t touched machine polishing since my porter cable and Sonüs days. I have heard good things about Jescar Correcting Compound, Griot`s FCC, and Scholl S2 Black, but I`m undecided on finishing polishes and I`m unsure of what to actually buy. I`m also looking at Rupes foam and wool pads. Please provide me some input. I would likely pair this equipment with a Griot`s G15.

Lots of great options.

Sonax cutmax and perfect finish would be an excellent combo. But if you`re into coatings a primer polish might be an option.

DIY Detail gold standard polish with their foam and wool pads.

I can`t wrap my head around that brand. It seems to me that Ivan will put his stamp on anybody`s product as long as they`re paying him more than his previous employers. Though I will admit that if Mike G liked it, then it is probably worth at least trying.

Can anyone comment on the new Rupes DA Coarse compound or Jescar Micro Finishing Polish?

Funny how that works.

I`m really liking the Griots entire line of BOSS abrasives. I haven`t used the Fast Correcting Cream, but really like the Correcting Cream and Perfecting Cream. My pad inventory is a bit of a mixed bag because I`ve been sampling brands as my old stuff wears out. The Boss polishes seem to provide consistent results across pads of a similar cut level.

From everything i read rupes coarse is a fast and dusty cutter. Rupes did appeal to me due to the fact they are marketed as fast acting polishes that should be worked for short sets. I have used rupes fine and just 2 slow passes and it really amped up the gloss on my roof.

Jescar is another high quality brand connected to germany/menzerna somehow.

I would just find a few products that appeal to you the most and run with it. It`s very hard to go wrong with product choice IMO.

I jumped into the Rupes products. And other than a bottle of Sonax Perfect Finish and Xtreme Solutions Finish`er I have nothing else. And a big part of me thinks thats a good thing.... I would be buying bottles of products everyday if I listened to myself listening on here, LOL. Coming from hand products, I have made a massive gain with the products I have. So I agree with above comment about finding a product you like, and you`ll be happy. All products are good today in my opinion.

Regardless of that the product is good. Pad dependent with a good correction and a good finish. Won`t dust or stain trim.

If you do a lot of coatings then the Dr. Beasley`s Surface Primers is my recommendation.

Other runners up

CarPro UltraCut / Reflect
Meguiar`s M110 / 210
Sonax CutMax / Perfect Finish. Only con I have is Perfect Finish dusts so EX 04-06 may be the better choice.

Personally Mike i`ve have no issues with perfect finish. I`ve used it in the Philippines even and had no issues with it getting dusty.

For me dust is usually due to poorly cleaned pads.

I think you`ve done well, overall the products today are much better than 20 years ago and it`s hard to go wrong with any of them.

LOL. Well, admitting the problem is the first step to recovery.
