Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
Autopia-CarCare Polish Comparison Chart.
Here is the UPDATED polish chart designed for reference only to compare polishes carried by Autopia Car Care and other popular brands. There are many factors that constitute how a particular polish will work. I`ve updated this list to include several new products and even a few new lines that we`re carrying (BriteMax, Gyeon & McKee`s 37).

I don`t see that product on the chart, does the onion sauce give it a nice finishing glaze?

Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
I would put Rupes Zephir Gloss to heaviest category. In my tests its on same level with M101 and out cuts M100 easily.
-
Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
IDK, PB SSR1 definitely has more cut than Klasse AIO. Klasse AIO to me is just a cleaner
-
Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
Thanks for that Paul looks good

Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
I know Mckees new finishing polish is a little more aggressive than your typical polish, but I am a little surprised that Menzerna SF3500 and 3D Polish made it into the Swirl Remover category. Hopefully someone can elaborate on that? Could it be new formulas with more cut?

OK, now that you`re done with that, you need to look at the Optimum spray polishes, because there are 3 of them now (4 if you include GPS)...although ACC doesn`t seem to be carrying the Intensive Polish.

Updated, heard from Optimum that the Intensive Polish Used to be the Hyper Compound... When they Reformulated the Hyper Compound for more cut, they kept the old formula for those who don`t need/want the extra cut and renamed it Intensive Polish.

Just wondering why doesn`t PBMG stock the "Optimum Intensive Polish" given you guys stock almost all of their chemicals.. :blink: Perhaps slipped through the cracks while they were rejiggering their lineup...

Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
hi
Hopefully someone here with advice.
just new here. From England haha.
Now I doubt anyone has an answer for this but I`m very new to looking after cars...
so does anyone know where autoglym super resin polish would go? If i am correct, it sounds like a final polish with slight abrasives containing wax, so it would be in like the 1-3 column. Correct?
Also so say I used a pure polish (no wax/sealant/glaze) In 4-7 to remove most scratches and swirls, could I wax straight after That or should I go over it with a product in like 1-3 then wax?
i know 0 is more for just shine, but I want something that will take out scratches/swirls so I am wondering what order to go in. I was solely thinking a product in 4-7, then autoglym super resin polish to finish, then wax, would this work?
what`s the difference between the ones in black and purple? especially if they were being topped off with wax.
thanks all

I have some Autoglym products but not that one. If someone does not provide an answer here you might try the Detailing World Forum which caters to more U.K. brands. Welcome to Autopia!

Hi. Thanks, i will see if anyone has a reply to that question, but i will also ask on that U.K. forum.
What about the other thing i asked, which i believe you could answer.
If i used a pure polish (no wax/sealant/glaze) In 4-7 to remove most scratches and swirls, could I wax straight after that or should I go over it with a product in like 1-3 to get rid of the small stuff and finish the paint then wax?
Like i said, i am new to this stuff, haha.
Thanks

It would depend on how well that initial polish finished down vs your expectations. And that`s gonna be dictated by your expectation for final finish, pad used, the paint and your technique. No real hard and fast answer.

Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
dont get how some from late chart or now less aggressive on this chart? what changed?
-
Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
I agree with jrock, it`s more of a judgement call. You are going into jeweling territory, trying to get the last bit of shine out of your paint. Softer paints can get cloudy/haze with a finer grade of polish. Do a test spot and see what it looks like.

Ended up buying some Super resin polish, it`s cheap for a litre at £14($18) I paid with a basic applicator and cloth. It is all just done as a weekend think on two red cars and sometimes a third grey car.
Doesn`t have to look perfect, so we just do hand polish and waxing.
Also, is it ok to use polish over wax? Like our car shampoo is a wash and wax, and therefore if I go over it with the Polish which also contains wax, will it be ok? Or shall I buy one that is pure shampoo?
Thanks

Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
If you polish over wax, you`re gonna need to wax again since polish will in all likelihood remove wax.

Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
If you are using AutoGlym SRP only (to polish & protect vehicle paintwork) and not applying a paint sealant (e.g. EGP for longer lasting protection) or carnauba wax (e.g. HD wax for a better finish) afterwards, then just wash with one of AutoGlym`s three shampoos.

If you enter "Auto Glym Guide" into google you should find a useful pdf on a website based in New Zealand.

Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
Would love to see where the Jescar products fit on the chart. HD Speed`s position surprised me a little, though I haven`t used it.

Would be nice to see...offhand I`d guess they are pretty much the equivalents to Menz FG400 and Menz 3000 or 3500 (maybe Polish more akin to 2400...dunno)
Used the Jescar Compound for a bit yesterday, very nice. Much easier removal than Menz...clean, no oily residue. Left very nice finish as well.
-
Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
Would be good to see the Jescar stuff, or maybe add it to the Menzerna row if it`s the same stuff. Would like to see Duragloss as well, but not critical since they don`t seem to across the spectrum. They have few products with cut and it`s not clear how much or what is heavier or lighter (652, 671, and of course 101, 105, 501).

Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
So the Sonax cuttmax does cut like say FG400, WG uber, Pinnacle advanced compound? According to the chart.

Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
Useless! Neil Peart should be #1.

Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
This chart is super useful and helped me pick some polishes last night. If I had not had this chart, I probably wouldn`t have purchased any polishes.
Anyhow, there`s been some great new PBMG & other companies` polishes added to the market, so is there a chance to get this chart updated, and maybe get Duragloss thrown in there?

Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
It`s 2021 and I still reference this chart even though I suspect it is out of date. Is there an updated chart that I can access and link?
-
Re: Updated 2/2017: Autopia Polish Comparison Chart!
Honestly, the griots correcting cream, sonax perfect finish and carpro fixer should be a lot closer together. Seems like a very subjective chart.

X2, would be great to update this chart for heavy compounds.
