It seems for the money choosing HD is the way to go, but how about results? Lets have your results/opinions.

For the $$ you can't go wrong...HD Speed is best in class, their other polishes are VERY good, not the best IMO. But depending on what you are looking to accomplish HD Products are an excellent choice for someone looking to keep within a budget.
 
I had both. No longer have reflect. In fact I've dumped every finishing polish I ever owned once I used HD polish.

Can you let me know your thoughts are on what is the best. Right now I use all menzerna but the new scheme is just too much. I used 4000 this weekend and wow did my car look great. I ran three test spots - black Lexus gs350 - and the 4000 was significantly deeper than either 2500 or 4500. The Lexus paint is very tricky and I still had microfine scratches, which really bothered me but it is a daily driver. I am looking for the "best" polish that has some cut but finishes as best in class. Any thoughts appreciated.

If that stuff is that good I guess it's time to open the bottle I have on the shelf.

So if your asking for my opinion Pinnacle makes the best polish around. The deadly combo of Advanced Compoud followed by Advanced Finishing Polish, and if you prepping for a coating their Surface Cleaning Polish is a 1...2...3 combo that works great for me.

I also use Menzerna which is a close second but their compound 400 is not nearly as aggressive as Pinnacle. Pinnacle also wipes easier and has less oil. I've tried them all from 3D AAT to Meguires and Pinnacle is the most user friendly with the best results for me using a Flex 3401. I'm sure others have their own opinions, but Pinnacle is my go to choice.
 
Rupes Keramik Yellow Gloss Fine Gel Compound is the finishing polish to use and own. Try the 250ml bottle first and you will be buying the larger ones soon after. This coming from an Ultimate Polish, Menzerna SF4000 user.

4500 is a finishing polish and you say it left micro marring on your paint? What pad were you using?

Who makes Pinnacle polishes. I'm guessing Menzerna.

I think they have their own R&D and are independent of any other brand besides Wolfgang and Blackfire which fall under PBMG. I'll ask my contact at Pinnacle and let you know.

Just curious what pad and machine did you use with the AAT?

I was gettig ready to pull trigger on the AAT compound and polish both. Just wondering if your choice of machine may of had an effect on how they worked for you? I know the Flex is a monster of a machine but the AAT line was built to work with rotary. Which as we all know rotary and DA's use different methods of working the products we all use.
 
Thanks guys but on a budget it seems Pinnacle isn't the best choice.
