leave nothing behind like::::: fillers, lubricants, oils, gloss enhancers, waxes, polymers, acrylics, silicones.....so that I don't need to IPA, Erase, Panel Wipe, Dawn Wash, Use A Prep Polish Like SQC or Detailers? Or am I asking too much?
 
I don't know if i'm understanding this right.. or maybe nick misunder stood it. But you are looking for a compound and finishing polish right? Not a prep polish?

If your looking for a compound/finishing polish then use Menzerna Fg400 & SF4000

If prep polish use the stuff nick suggested
 
Optimum polishes only require a damp MF to remove all traces of polishing oils. Might want to look into them.

The LSP that you are planning to use may have a bearing, if any, on what is left behind by the polishing process(es).

Please advise. TIA.

LSP will most likely be a coating. No longer use waxes (unless client requests it), only sealant I now use is Z-2/Z-3, last 2 coatings used were DG WOWA and Gtechniq EXO.

OK...Coatings:
Regardless of the polishes used to correct the paint...I'll suggest to always follow the Coatings manufacturers' directions for their application.

Listen to Bob - this is the only way to go with a coating.

I would be willing to put my neck on a block and say that there isn't a creamy polish type product in the world which will be 100% residue free. I would bet my life that I could use any of the above onto a test tag of metal, stick it into the SIMS machine (mass spectrometer) and demonstrate the presence of hydrocarbon residues.

The question, for me, is not whether a residue is left behind, it is whether that residue matters. As such, follow the manufacturers guidelines and you will know you are OK. If you use a product or methodology beyond this, you just can't be sure.

Bingo, PiPUK knows his stuff. It's very unlikely that any cream polish leaves behind zero residue.

With that said, subjectively, there are some products that clearly leave behind less than others.
