something between a polish and a compound

Menzerna 2500
Meguiars D151
Menzerna SIP 1500

Meguiars Ultimate Compound and Menzerna FG400 can finish out like a polish, depending on the paint and pad.
 
Prime a White LC CCS polishing pad with M205, then add two peas M205 and two peas M101 or the like. If you want more cut, step up the pad. Or you can mix M205 and M101 to a 1:1 solution and prime as normal, then add 4 peas as normal.

Optimum Hyper-Polish..
Take it out of the nutty spray bottle, after shaking the heck out of it, put it in a nice bottle of your choice..

It will cut with whatever pad you want it to - more aggressively with a more aggressive pad..
And way less with a more finishing pad..

Like the Hydro-shred Cyan for more cutting and the Hydro-shred Tangerine for less cutting and more finishing..
It is very predictable, will work a long time, and finishes down beautifully..

I also like the versatility of things like Sonax Perfect Finish that can also be use aggressively with appropriate pad and then way less with a lighter pad and the finish is very, very nice...
It is said that this product has fillers in it that apparently dont come out easily or ever in some applications like garage queens, etc..

In any event, it is also a very good, predictable product that can make a one step happen in some applications..
With a Rotary used correctly and long enough to finish down to almost nothing, it can, in my experiences, correct and finish down LSP ready a lot..

So i have some perfect finish and PO91E i guess i wont have to buy anything this weekend.

how would bf src compound with a softer pad work? reason i`m askin is i`m looking at detailing a trailblazer and they just want a polish and wax and i wasn`t able to upsale the buffing part as it is their dd but there are way to many scratches larger than micro marring yet smaller than actual scratches. maybe i should try the blue b&s euro tech pad with PO91E or the perfect finish. It is a med blue with metallic flake in it.

thanks for this but i do have a rotary and know how to use it, used it for many, many years, I`ve just gotten used to the DA over the last 2-3 years that the only pads i have for my rotary is the 2 Heavy cut wool pads i still have for them but only use it for heavy, heavy buffing that a mf pad on da wont fix

Now that I know what you are doing -

For this polish and wax, wish you had Optimum GPS - Glaze, Polish, Seal, AIO--- Optimum GPS Glaze Polish Sealant

It might work pretty darn good as a 1-Step and be done with it..
And if it worked and you had Optimum Opti-Seal Clear Spray, wow it would really look great..

Thinking that GM paint may be on the harder side, so good luck with this.. :)

I`m thinking of trying a couple of options here`s my thoughts

bf src compound on say b&s yellow pad or maroon euro tech
bf src polish on either lc grey or orange lo pro
sonax perfect finish on a medium coarse pad b&s maroon or lc orange
sonax ex 04-06 with same pads as above
menzerna PO91E with b&s maroon

and im not looking for an aio as im looking for the longevity of a regular sealant and still to get the flake to pop

And this gets done with my gg6"

Got it !
The Blackfire products are also first rate and do some incredible work...

You will know really quickly how hard the paint is to get it to do something positive..
Hard to beat the Griot GG6 machine.. It`s always been a Workhorse..

You never know what combo will turn out the best that day on that paintwork but I know that you will find it quickly and it will all be good!
It`s going to turn out great !

See ! Your work is selling your work !
Perhaps by the time this is all finalized, he may want to pay for more work and you can spend more time on it..
Good Luck !

Yes to BF src compound. I used it recently with a Rotary and a DA, was able to dial in what I wanted,
by how many, and length of passes, speed of hand movement, pad. Def. going to use often.
 
If you would like to try Adapt or any of the 3D/HD polishes or compounds and are close I have most any you could have at least 8 oz of.
I have not had the luck with them that many on the forums have had and I have AAT 501 and 502 cut+ polish+ and adapt.

Not quite willing to try new compounds on new customers rides especially if others have difficulty with them
