Menzerna FG400 and either an Orange Foam or Blue Wool Hybrid pad , depending on how heavy the compounding needs to be.

That. Sometimes with a little Cut added in to increase the work-time.

Sos pad/sand, and and salt water. Then my customers REALLY need a detail

For really heavy stuff... 3D 501 on a white cool wave pad with the rotary.

Menz 400 and a Meg's cutting microfiber.

Darn rookies. No guts no glory. 180 grit Wet-or-Dry with some water and call it good.

Porter Cable 7424/7424xp - Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, or M100. Green Hex Logic pad.

The Keramik / Yellow microfiber disc is an awesome "one step".

Griot's Fast Cut on their BOSS MF pads. Great cut, great finish, and no dusting.
