My Polish supplies - Missing something?

This is my present supply of Polish.



I was looking to either add Blackfire SRC ( 106FF ), Optimum Polish, or Optimum Compound to my inventory of tools.



Do I really need any of these new products? I'm thinking maybe these new products would allow me to fine tune my process a little further fo rthe little bit of extra wow.



Call me crazy, but I do like to try a new product now and then. I got the bug.

Maybe these products are more than a novus require?



My gallon of #80 get's used 90% of the time for most polish jobs and I like the results.

I was looking to expand and get that extra touch to my detailing by adding one of the above mentioned products.

I just picked up SSR2.5 last Summer and have used it some. mixed results, more testing on my part will probably result in more comfort using it.



I have read Blackfire SRC finish's very nicely for that extra bling factor.



I was also wondering #80 left too much oil ( bonding ) for an LSP of Sealant is why I was thinking of one of the other products.

I am fine with the result of #80 with a Wax LSP of course.



I have the following:



Poorboys SSR1

Poorboys SSR2.5

3m RC FC 39002

3m Polish for Dark cars 39009

Megs MPPC ( 90% full )

Megs Scratch X

Megs #80 ( my go to )







Thank you for any advice you can give.
 
Good Lord, you've got quite a supply already. While I am not familiar with all, I'd suggest the Optimum polish if you're anxious to spend $$. That product has got to be the Swiss Army knife of polishes. I was playing with it last weekend (bored, lousy weather) and continue to be amazed at what it can do when you invest the time to work with it !

Well I don't use the SSR1 and 3m for Dark much anymore.

Those were the first two polishes I bought when I got the bug.

SSR1 left a nice finish , but not much for correction. More like a glaze IMO.



MPPC had a slight learning curve to it and now I pretty much just use #80 with decent results since it's a little easier for me to use. I probably should use this a little more this year and see what all it can do for me.



I have only done some spot polishing with the 3m FCRC.

I have not tried it out for anything else, not sure how well that would work as a pre finish polish for an entire vehicle?



From what I've read, Opt Polish was versatile.

I might just send some of my other product home with my Brother next time he stops.



Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it.
