i see hundreds of them and i really dont know whichone is the best out there i dont want to buy them all i just want the best or one of the best , from your experience whichone is the one that leaves it flawless
 
This is like saying which is the best sports car out there.

You're going to get 20 replies, and out of those 20, 14 will give you recommendation on what they use. You will be at the same place from your original post. Confused and not sure what to get. LOL
 
What are you using for a polisher? Pads? Color of vehicle? Did it get compounded first? Some Info like that
 
i clayed, compound and im ready to polish and seal just wasnt sure whichone, someone recomended liquid glass what is your take on that
 
What type of car are you working on? What is the condition of the paint?

I don't think there is one perfect polish. Certain polishes work better in some conditions than others.
 
This is a personal preference issue. Any of the major brands will probably work fine. I happen to use Pinnacle, but Menzerna, 3D, Meguiars, Sonax, etc are all well known companies that make good products.

As 11B50 said earlier, you are going to get many replies with each persons preference.

Do some research and pick one, get a small quantity and see how you like it. There is no one best polish.
 
What compound did you use? How did you find that? There has got to be at least as many compounds as there are polishes.
 
i am using menzerna fg 400 i tried it with mothers carnauba wax and it look really nice glossy and wet but i am looking more sor a shinny mirror natural look
 
FG400 is one of the top polishes available. The next step would be a finer menzerna polish as a follow on step.
 
The polishing step after compounding won't yield as massive of a difference as the initial compounding/correcting step. You can follow with a myriad of finishing polishes/aio's/lsps's and will still be chasing the shine and left wanting. This is the eternal, endless obsession...
 
Good info here , I chuckled acouple times lol. I would like to add that you can do so many things to attain a shine . its a sickness that never goes away. Lol. Why dont you try a glaze, then seal or wax that? I keep five different polishes , they all are subject to use on any given color or paint type. If you want a mirror shine, you need to completely level the paint so there is no orange peel. Have it be completely contaminate free, fully corrected, polished. Ect..

A carnuba bases filler glaze or jeweling glaze. /wax will bring out the color. Or finishing polish the wax. I like every polish out there but its hard to say this is it. It all depends.

I would recommend a three step system using all one line of product.

I use Pinnacle products, Mequires, Wolfgang, ect..

IMO:
The "best" polish depends upon your goal.

•For example:
-I can polish a vehicle' paint to where it appears,
to me, to have reached the pinnacle of its most
brilliance---my goal---with using 3M's Imperial
Hand Glaze: a most mild of the mildest polishes
out there...
-while other people may poo-poo this
particular polishing process for its lack of
"abrasives-related aggressiveness"; i.e.: in
their opinion probably not the "best" polish.

•But since I reached my goal...
-I used the "best" polish. At least
for this task.

Sir, would 3M's Imperial Hand Glaze be considered like Menzerna 4500 (3800)? Too bad I can't find where I live, this product got my attention and curiosity.
