Favorite Finishing polish

I'm considering either BriteMax Perfect Prep or HD Polish.... any suggestions?
If anyone has used both or suggests another to try .
Looking for a dust free finish polish.
 
I use three, Menzerna 4500, Supernatural Micro Prime, and 3M Ultrafine, and I would recommend either the 4500 or Micro Prime if you're using a da.
 
I've had great experience with HD polish. I haven't used the menzerna product, but I have used WG finishing glaze, which is menzerna based, and it is more finicky- harder to wipe off and not as long of a work time. The HD polishes really are top notch.
 
Almost every car I have done this year was finished off with Optimum Hyper Polish. I would say this is one of the most underrated polishes on the market and it has yielded some pretty impressive results for me even as a one-step.

My favourite is HD Polish, has a lot of cut and finishes out amazing.
I combo'ed it with Rupes Green/Yellow Foam pad on my 15ES and Mini

I also own Men SF4000 but haven't opened the bottle yet.

Two votes for Optimum Hyper Polish. Long work time, great variations of cut, and wipes off very, very easily. I use it a lot on dark colors because there is absolutely no dust to speak of. I also like CarPro Reflect.
 
Since you're using a long throw, I'll cast a vote for Griots Garage Perfecting Cream or HD Polish.
 
Another vote for Optimum Hyper Polish - been using it since it first came out, almost 10 years ago..

HD Polish and I've had great results even on VW hard clear with a B&S orange pad--great cut and finishes very well.
 
Plenty of good finishing polishes out there and it's hard to go wrong with any of them. These are all in my currently used arsenal.

Griots Correct and Perfecting Creams: Both solid contenders that cut well and have always finished perfectly for me with no dusting. Correct Cream is typically what I'll use unless it's a softer clear that marrs easily or is prone to DA haze. They smell awesome too! On some paints they can require more effort to remove then others.

HD Polish+: Very easy to use, good cut, easy wipe off, dusting seems to be gone with the new version. Don't care for the smell though as it has a hint of Adapt to it now.

Hyper Polish: Great polish that finished very well on virtually all paints I've used it on with no dusting. I used this a lot more before Opt Primer came out for coating jobs, but don't use it much now days having dropped OC. I have been meaning to try the latest version though as I hear the wipe off has improved. I felt the older stuff require a little more effort to remove than some others, but it was on par with the Griot's creams and didn't really bother me.

M205: Still one of the best polishes out there IMO but it can require an adjustment in technique to finish down perfectly on some paints. It's also still one of the easiest polishes for wipe off and with little to no dusting. Can be used for heavy correction too. ;)
 
Another great polish from Sonax is Sonax Perfect Finish..
- Very easy to use, can do some great correction with Lake Country Hydro-Shred Cyan and a Rotary.
- Probably helped start the "Polish with Durable Fillers Movement" that we have today..
- Never had any problems with it, i.e., scratches re-appearing later, etc...
- When finished with Sonax Net Shield, the results are incredible..
