Are you asking about techinque or product. If product, Meg's Ultimate Compound is great.

Other than rocks-in-a-bottle (rotary-only) compounds, I use the same stuff by hand that I use via machine. These days that's mostly M105/M205 for significant correction.

The only real issue is whether the breakdown process will work out right (for products that do break down).

ISLover said:What type of applicator do you guys use when polishing by hand?
Depends on what I'm doing, same as with the polisher.
Generally there are three ways to go: cotton terry for aggressive work, foam for medium, and MF for gentle work. And I'll use torn-off pieces of machine pads for some jobs too.
But I often just do it all with a MF.
