Best fine/finishing polish?

#9 has a lot of oils which fill quite a bit. That`s OK as long as you use a IPA wipedown.

Uf is very good and easy to use.

I have tried them all and I would say that Menzerna wins for absolute perfection, gloss, clarity, and clean-up.

If you are working by DA then I would personally recommend Menzerna PO85RD Final Finish, the abrasives used in Menzerna`s range seem to suit the action of the DA best and while other polishes (Ultrafina, #205 etc) all work well too, the Menzerna just seems to have a slight edge in my opinion.

By rotary, things change around, as #205 really begins to come into a class of its own - PO85RD has long been my favourite finishing polish, Ultrafina was always second to it as while good it just wouldn`t match the absolute clarity and depth I could get with 85RD on the softest paint finishes (harder paints, nothing to choose between them). But now, #205 has become the polish I will largely reach for when it comes to finishing, alongside 85RD - I say alongside, as 205 has additional cut to it that is sometimes not desired if simply refining is the name of the game. But for clarity and a little bit more cut, #205 is the new king as far as I am concerned, and despite its quite high price in the UK it ranks as my favourite finishing polish.

I agree with you Dave. Sometimes I prefer 85RD and sometimes #205, but nowadays I finish my details with #205, what a shine !!

It should for the price you pay for it. It is great stuff.

I like Optimum Finish, and 106fa. Both great products.

Ultrafina, PO85RD, FPII, 106FF and FA. M205.

That damn gto paint is so soft I think if you look at it wrong it swirls or mars. At any rate, i use Menz Micro Polish on black 5.5 inch pad at 5 on a PC. Work it till just starts to flash. PO 85RD works also, though i find the Micro adds just a little more depth to the paint.

Here is some photos, all without any product on them. I used the DWG bottle to get a reflection shot of something.

The new Optimum Finishing Polish is great stuff! It does have a long working time though, and you need strong f`n hands to squeeze it out of the bottle haha! Small hole + thick polish = wait a minute... nevermind.

I really should get around to trying Ultrafina, never heard a bad thing about it also...
