What's your favorite polish for soft clearcoats?? I need to restock on polish and I thought I'd go with one polish for hard clearcoats and one for soft. Most of my work is on newer cars for repeat customers so I don't need a lot of correction. Just something to clean the paint and remove the occasional light swirl.

Thanks.

Menzerna PO87MC, better known as Final Polish II, has the least cut of the Menz line of polishes. Works on hard and soft clears. Use a white pad and finish off with a grey/blue pad.:buffing:

Optimum, XMT, and Poorboys work well on soft coats. Menzerna works well on anything!

Using the least aggressive pad / polish combination followed, if necessary by an incrementally more aggressive approach until you find what works.

Hard paint - does not mar as easily, but it's more difficult to polish surface defects.

Soft paint- is very easy to polish out surface defects, but easier to induce surface marring.
