Your polish of choice?

Do you have a go to polish? Or a combo? Say either and all around or something for hard paint and something for soft? I have been using Prima Swirl with a PC and Orange LC CCS pad finishing up with same on a white pad. I also use and like Danase Swirl Abolishers. I have not tried either on very hard clears say an Audi, Benz or GM.
 
I have a few...Presta 1500 is one that I like but its a high temp so rotary only...WG..SWR, PB..PP, Ardex and PB SSR line


If I had to say just one that I reach for more than any others, no matter if its machine or hand

PB P-w-C is the one

Its one of the most versatile I've used to date
 
I like and have been using the Optimum line lately, I really like how it works and leaves very little dusting.

I also like Presta but like Dave said, it really needs a rotary or it can be very stubborn to work with.
 
The polishes I have used have all seemed to work pretty good.
The vehicles I use them on are not usually in very bad shape so the polish really doesn't have to do too much correcting. Since I only use a PC, I pretty much stay with the less aggressive products.

1. Poorboy's SSR2.5 and Meguiar's #83 are the most aggressive I have and they are used only in the area needed. I have never had to do an entire vehicle with them.

2. Meguiar's #80 seems to do a good job on a vehicle that does need some overall correction.

3. The Montana and the GTP can usually be cleaned up pretty good with something like Klasse AIO, Optimum Poli-Seal or Poorboy's PwS.
The Klasse AIO is more of a chemical cleaner than a true polish. The Poli-Seal and the PwS both seem to work about the same and seem to be what I use most often.

Recently, I have been polishing with the Poli-Seal and wiping off the residue with Duragloss Aqua Wax. After I next wash the vehicle, I have been using Optimum Opti-Seal as my LSP and just hit it with more AW after one or two washes.
Both the AW and the Opti-Seal are very easy to use.
I know that some people have reservations about the WOWA use of products like Opti-Seal, but I find myself becoming more of a fan of it all the time.
The AW is a good "freshen" up product, but I don't think I would use it as my true LSP.

As usual, I wrote a book and managed to get quite a ways from the original topic. :D
