Before i finalize my order and checkout I wanted to get some opinions on a light polish.

I'm looking a polish that's directed more towards newer cars or paint with little to do imperfections. Like a new car that has light swirls here and there.

Dodo Juice Lime Prime works great.

Im have the 105 and 205 combo. But I really want to try the dodo lime prime so I'm going with it.

Mom has a 2010 white Malibu that I'm going to clay and give a light polish before my Collinite 845.

So Dodo and 845 combo it is
 
Klasse All In One...Then Klasse Sealant Glaze...Top it with Collinite 845 to make it perfect...
 
Some of my favorite light polishes are, Opt polish 2, M205, Menz 106ff, Jeff werkstat prime strong. You could also go with AIOs like opt poliseal, xmt 360...etc.

IMO, Lime Prime is one of those polishing that dont work well on all paints. Lime Prime is fairly aggressive and on soft paints it will marr pretty bad. Use an IPA or mineral spirits wipe down and you will see it. DJ LP is a really oily polish and slightly masks.
 
Klasse AIO is good and depending on what pad you use it can remove defects respectably.

PO85rd is a good polish too. I love to use it to amp up the gloss on the finish.
 
These guys have given you some great recommendations but I'd like to add one more;

Menzerna Super Finish PO85RD :props:
 
It depends on how much time you have on your hands. For a really fast process with a car in like new condition Megs D301 with MF finishing disc is a no brainer. Top it with Collinte and your done. If you have a ton of time then PO85RD. Personally I have no patience for spending 5-6 minutes per 20"x20" panel for maybe a 2-3% improvement especially on a daily driver that is going to get hammered.

:iagree:
A light finishing polish. If you need a little more polish but similar finish look to 106FA.

Klasse twins really arent polishes and have no real abrasive abilities. KAIO is best described as a paint cleanser, chemically with a bit of acrylic protection. SG of course is a pure sealant. Good products indeed, but not polishes per say

Lime prime and Need for Speed has about the same amount of cut as per Dom. I've used it a few times and did not like how oily it was so I traded it and NFS instead which I like better. Both give pretty decent correction and on several instances hazed up soft honda paint.
 
I'm going to test it on my moms and my sisters cars. Both new cars and getting their first wax (besides from what was put on at the dealer a year ago). So I'm quite positive that after I clay them they're going to need some light to medium correction.
If the Dodo LP doesn't do well then I'll just wipe it down and and jump back to M205

Lime Prime is supposed to be oily and serve as a pre-wax cleaner and wax prep product. LP is very pad dependent.

I also like the CG optical grade polishes.
 
A good medium to light polish that finishes great Menz P203.
