What's your favorite light-duty polish with fillers?



For me, it's #9. With a rotary it removes light swirls (helps fill deeper swirls), is easy to work with, does not dust, and leaves a wet look matched by very few polishes. Also, it's mild enough that I can use with a rotary and plolishing pad on a black car and leave not halograms. I'm usually OTC-phobic, but I keep going back to this stuff for certain tasks and it keep performing as desired. For many jobs I don't have enough time to polish, glaze, & seal, yet I want fillers and the glazed look - in this case I find myslef wanting a polish with fillers...inevitably leading me to #9, then I seal.



Admittingly, I haven't usued #80 but might have to give it a try.
 
I too love RMG, but was thinking of something with a little more polish/cut. RMG is an excellent glaze with fillers and I've actually been able to remove the lightest of rotary halograms with it, but I still wouldn't call it a polish. Haven't used VM yet.
 
#9 will make neglected finishes look very good. If you're using a carnauba its a great choice. I wouldn't reccomend it for a sealant tho.
 
Vanilla Moose. With a Meguiars polishing pad or a green Propel pad, it will remove light defects. Just crank the PC to 6 and go town. It does have some filling properties too so even if you have moderate defects, it will help reduce and then fill them.
 
I guess I'll have to try some VM.



Wannafboy, are you saying not to use #9 with a sealant because of the oils it lays down? I haven't noticed any bonding issues, but maybe I'll have to do a side by side comparison of a given sealant over #9 vs. another polish and see if I notice any difference.



Thanks.
 
RAG, I have a good amount of VM on hand. You have anything you would like to trade for it? If not, you can also buy some off me and get it pretty quick. I just have to much for how often I use it.

#9 *MIGHT* cause some problems with some sealants in regard to bonding.

FPII without fillers

It's my understanding that FPII does contain fillers and the old version of FP does NOT contain fillers. I have it as well as the old IP for sale in the trading post ;)



I use #80 and VM.
 
Spilchy - Menzerna claims FPII does not contain any fillers. But so does OP, yet their "oils" seem to be somewhat filler-like to me. But who knows. I can see where it would be advantageous to claim not to have any "fillers" while actually having some.
 
Sorry for the misinformation. I thought I heard the new version FPII did contain some compared to the old formula. I guess I confused the more lubrication with the new formula with fillers.
 
Auto Magic BC-2 works great. You can use it with an orbital buffer, cutting and/or polishing pad with high speed buffer or by hand. I adds a fair amount of pertection also.
