    Re: Favorite Finishing Polish almost out, what are you using that you love ?

    looks like most of us are using HD Polish+..

    i dont know if i should start a new thread or not but im interested to see what everyone`s technique for using HD Polish...

    I normally go with a orange or white buff and shine pad

    I prime with 5 dots on a new pad and use 3 dots after its primed, i dont mist the pad with any detail spray or water

    anywhere from 2-5 passes seem to be the sweet spot for me, again i dont mist the panel with water or anything to keep it working. it has long work time for me and hardly dries out

    i wipe with a MF towel, i like short nap towels because HD Polish tends to be a little oily and short naps pick up the oil easier (IMO). sometimes I do like to wipe with a very lightly damp towel and come back with a dry towel

    washing out HD polish of pads is easy, i just throw it in a bucket of water w/ snappy clean and rinse the pad out after it soaks for 20-30mins

    Favorite Finishing Polish almost out, what are you using that you love ?

    I threw out ALL my finishing polishes after the first few minutes using HD polish. It`s that good. However I`m curious about trying the AAT finishing polish as its supposed to work faster and finish down better with no dust and less oily.

    Use basically the same technique as donbreezy, but prefer a medium nap MF towel for removal. Never experienced the oily problem.

    I think the + version fixes the dusting issue.

    Optimum Hyper Polish just works great for me. I don`t touch my HD polish or Meguairs M205 anymore.
