I will be doing a bud's Silverstone Grey GTI.



What is the best polish for gloss and depth ? I have the following polish on hand: OP, #83, #82 and #80



For LSP I'am planning to use OCW and top with 845IW
 
I haven't used the OCP, but if you're doing it with Meg's stuff the #80 oughta look good. VWs are apparently funny...some are rock-hard and some are very soft :nixweiss If it's hard you'll have to really work with the #83 to get out any marring, but the #80 will give a ready-to-wax finish. Dunno what'll be best (#80/#82) if it's one of the soft ones.



I dunno which LSP oughta go first, the 845 or the OCW :confused: I'd lean towards the 845 first (more durable?) topped with the OCW. But I'm just guessing.

Actually, since OCW is a polymer/carnauba blend with UV protectors, I'd use it as the base.

Yup, that is what I was thinking, it is much quicker than using NXT or M21 and if I top with OCW, I won't get that famous Collinite beading also.
 
ScottWax/EdLancer- Ah, OK, that makes sense!



The 845 is a "resins-or-something"/carnauba mix too, but I'd go with your opinions as you've used the OCW and I haven't.

I use OCW as a work in progress protectant, meaning if I polished a panel and not the rest I just protect that panel with it and also as a near end of life of a LSP before I have time to reapply another coat of LSP.
