What is everyones favourite finishing/jewelling polish these days?

I remember times when Roberlo or Nanotech Super Gloss Polish are recommended. Beside Menzerna and M205 of course.

If you mean a true finishing polish and not like the ones that contain Si02 resin filler polish then my choices are

1. Koch chem M2 and M3
2. Megs 205 and 205 with water for very soft tricky paints :thumb:
3. Scholl S40
4. New Carpro Reflect
I might pick up a bottle of reflect or rupes uno pure. I like to have a true finishing polish on my shelf. Right now i have sonax cutmax, 3D one, rupes fine and gyeon primer.

I did have 1/3 of bottle of perfect finish but i got this crazy idea to mix it will 3D one and even griots correcting cream to try to get the wipeoff easier for 3D one. I love the smell and bottle - excellent dispenser - of 3D one but i just don't like the wipeoff.

I'm probably give 3D one another shot very soon.

I’ve always liked Menzerna 3800, Megs 205 (and Ultimate Polish) and Sonax Perfect Finish. However, I’ve just had a decent play about with Mother’s CMX 3 in 1 Polish and Coat and it is fantastic! As with everything you can adjust the cut with the pad, but it is also a primer polish and can correct ceramic coats like Essence Plus does and then also coat back over it. Not just coat either, sealants and waxes should also work great on it without panel wipe (Sheep has been testing this element).

So for it’s absolute versatility, it is a brilliant product and a finishing polish that should be in anyone’s collection.

If talking straight up finishing polishes, in no particular order:
Koch chemie m3.01
Roberto still
Zvizzer
And I haven't used it enough but I have to say the new 3d aca 520 is shaping up to be quite something. Not a ton of cut, but I get the feeling this will be perfect on those sensitive modern clear coats

Primer polish wise, gyeon is my go to, I only use them when I can't finish down with a true polish in an acceptable time frame though

Matt aka stangalang, can you explain why you would use gyeon primer when you can't get a true polish to work? Is primer helping to fill imperfections or something?

I'm actually looking at my cart right now and wondering if i should use a true finishing polish before my coating application -i was going to pickup uno pure - or if i should just use my gyeon primer. I plan to let the gyeon primer set overnight before i apply a ceramic coating. In this case Nv Nova Evo.

If you had lots of time would you prefer primer over a true finishing polish? One thing i like about primer, it leaves the paint slick.

No particular order.
Rupes Uno Pure - quick and easy to use, by far the quickest and most efficient when using the Rupes Bigfoot System as intended.
Sonax Perfect Finish - pleasure to use, great finish.
Koch Chemie Micro Cut - as above, probably the best around for refining gloss black trim
Cartec 12000 - a little dusty but what a finish. Also have 9000 but not tried it yet.
I have Menzerna 3500 and Gyeon Primer but not used those yet,
Also really like AF Tripple, perfect cleaner and primer for their waxes.

In Reference to UNO pure;

Personally, i find perfect finish and rupes DA fine very close. Sonax might cut more not sure.

Gyeon primer will not cut near so much has perfect finish on my car.

I really like Rupes DA fine, very nice wipe off. But i did notice some kind of gumming up of the polish if i worked it to long. Not a big deal. Lets me know its time to clean off the pad. haha
