I wanted some comments on popular polishes that perform well with a PC that remove medium or light defects. Give me ones that are user friendly, and to get more specific how about on "black" cars :2thumbs:
 
The only polishes that I have tried that seem to work well with the PC are the Poorboy's SSR's. Meguiars seem to work better with the rotary, but SSR's break down too quickly with the rotary. I wasn't too impressed with Menzerna really.



I'm sure some will suggest Optimum as well.
 
optimum works well on the PC only if you use it in a very specific way. in other words, you have to use the correct amount of polish, move the pc slowly enough, apply the right pressure, work the area for a long enough time, etc. When I first started using optimum, I hated the stuff. I couldn't get defects out for crap. After a few uses though, I've gotten it figured out and now it's my goto polish!
 
Menerza PO85RD is the best polish out there IMO. Use the right pad and you will end up with a shiny black ready for a lsp. It cost a little more but you won't regret it. Trust me on this one. After doing my red I don't want to put a lsp on it.

I AGREE!!!
 
No Question: Mother's PowerPolish. Very easy to use/remove. I've been using PowerPolish with Excel Propel Pads with great success.



I've also used #80 with good results via PC.

Make that another vote for Menzerna have used the FPII and PO106FF . when you are finished polishing the car looks clear and lets you see the true color of your paint. as said already it is a shame to put an LSP on over it .

I didn't!! :D:D
 
Another vote here for PO85RD and FP II from Menzerna.



Never been let down by either of them.
 
The menzerna polishes are all great products. I've used all of them with a PC with great success. I've used alot of different polishes from Optimum, Meguiar's, etc and nothing finishes better. :) As for not using an LSP... I always do. Colinite IW845, FMJ and Carlack products have not reduced the finish quality when I've used PO106FF. Next step is to try some OCW.

Is Menerza PO85RD the same as FPII?



Where do you purchase Menerza PO85RD?

Go here (http://melncal.com/detailing) about half way down. The link has a list of of polishes that I've used and pictures of what I've been able to remove with a PC.





As far as black, I agree, nothing finishes like Menzerna PO85RD :2thumbs:
 
For serious defect removal with a PC, I get good results with SSR 3 and Sonus SFX 1. I use these compounds with SFX yellow 4" spot pads. You WILL take off paint in a reasonable amount of time. Not as fast as a rotary, I'm sure; but fast enough to clean up a real swirl wagon in about six hours. The same compounds and the standard SFX yellow pad (6") work well for lighter swirls. I wouldn't attempt any real defect removal with a pad larger than 6" in diameter, no matter how aggessive. That is, with a PC.
