There is no best product for any paint, and you can use the same products on German, American, Japanese, etc. Have you prepped your surface in any way? Are you looking for durability, reflection, clarity, depth etc. Please be more specific.

IMO the big key with paints like that is to do more/better prep than you think is necessary. Milder products that are still abrasive, used after the 3M FI will bring up the shine a *lot*.

After I get our Audis (currently `00/`01 A8/S8 but previously `00 A6s) apparently perfect (and that`s in really demanding lighting) I further burnish them with mild products. IMO you can get a much better finish than Finesse-It will provide, and *that* will make the difference. The last 3M polish I use is PI-III MG 05937 and I use milder stuff after *that* on my S8 to get the right gloss.

The 1Z Pro MP I like is getting hard to find, maybe consider the Menzerna FPII or the BF/Menzerna polishes made for CeramiClear (the paint on your Audi is almost that hard anyhow).
