Regarding the amount of polishing it does, with 0.5 being Autoglym SRP and 10 being a heavy compound, where would Ultrafina be on this scale?

I love this stuff. I don`t know about the cutting power. I have only used it as the 3rd step in my polishing process. I`m often tempted to skip this one when polishing but then do it anyway and am always happy with the results. Step 2 from 3M looks really good and does an outstanding job getting rid of any holograms; but, the Ultrafina really amps it up.

for all practical purposes there is no cutting power to Ultrafina. It`s a nano polish meant for the very last stage before sealant. If autoglym is a 0.5 UF is more close to 0.2 if there is such a thing. It`s a great product to use in it`s intended purpose and is still a must have in my stable of select products.

Right. A very fine polish. Of the same ilk as 85rd

Sorry dave I mispoke. The rep I talked to always called it a "nano" polish but we know how those rep`s can be right I don`t see anywhere on the lable though that calls it that. And bluBrett I honestly don`t think the difference would even be noticeable.

UF has more cut than FP II. I can say that with certainty. UF removed marring that FP II didn`t come close to removing.
jakerooni: UF has much more cut than SRP. You couldn`t be more wrong.
Remove marring, really?? With Ultrafina?? That must have been a really soft clear!!

I did a side by side with UF and FP II on very lightly marred paint and one application of UF cleared up what 3 and 4 applications of FP II would not. Using identical pads and same machine of course.
Question: can 3m ultrafine be used with a porter cable orbital buffer or only rotary? The 3M site says to use rotary but I recall reading about people using orbital...not sure. Thanks.

Would it make sense to use UF before Poli-Seal?
i use it with flex DA and blue 3m pad and it has cutting power, BUT depends of the paint if is soft or harder. i think it does better on softer paints. a good product to have.
also need ipa or dawn wash , has oils that needs to be remove
