I have been using the following but always looking to see what others are using for products..... Any Compund/polishes that might work better in any of the 3 stages below?:

I have the following...

Griot's Garage 6 Inch Random Orbital Polish
5 Inch D.A. Hook & Loop Flexible Backing

Compound Step
Orange pad 5.5 inch Lake Country ThinPro Foam Pad or Hybrid Wool Cutting Pad w/ Carpro Clear Cut

Polish Step
White 5.5 inch Lake Country ThinPro Foam Pad w/ Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Ultra Finishing Polish M205

Wax/Coat/Seal
Red 5.5 inch Lake Country ThinPro Foam Pad w/ Jescar Power Lock Polymer Paint



Looking for shine, pop, durabliity, longevity since both cars sit outdoors now. One is a metallic blue and the other flat white.
 
If you're NOT going to use a coating - then BLACKFIRE One Step.

I actually will use it like a compound, (aggressive pad and rotary buffer), just because it wipes off so easy.

But it does contain a sealant so it's the wrong type of product to use if you're going to use any type of paint coating due to it leaving sealant behind.

I haven't used the CarPro Clear Cut? I do like the Pinnacle Advanced Compound - works great on everything. Also the 3D One.

For compounds...Sonax Cutmax, Menzerna 400 are amazing. 3d ACA 500 if by rotary.

Finishing....Sonax Perfect Finish, Menzerna 3500, Carpro Essence

Carpro Clear Cut is also a VERY good cutting compound.
 
Quite honestly, I think that you all ready have a good combo of products. I have personally used everything you have. All great products. M205 is highly versatile and Clearcut is quite magical on its own.

I personally now use Meguiar’s Microfiber Cutting Disc with Jescar Correcting Compound and RUPES yellow foam pad with Sonax Perfect Finish.

But it doesn’t mean that you can’t achieve the same results with what you have. M205 is a classic.

If I had to add anything to the mix, I am a RUPES yellow wool pad and RUPES UNO Protect kind of guy in terms of all-in-one applications. Excellent slickness in my opinion.
