Tom I don't have a flex........but I have 2 da's and a rortary.......and I have used both the megs and optimum pads on both. I am almost mf pad exclusive.

Yes I know something else to order but give them a shot......you will be amazed.

Love the optimum pads on the rotary and megs on the da.Between the 2 I can do just about anything.

I tried that mix just because and it has worked great.
 
D300/M205 for me. I've heard good things about PF2500 but haven't tried it yet.
 
I like carpro fixer. Takes on the properties of the pad your using. Finishes very well, and comes off easy.

If you want correction and a decent finish you really need some type of polish or AIO that corrects but then quickly breaks down into a finer polish.

For me, that is Meg's reconditioning cream. I know it's fairly popular, but I don't understand why it's not more popular. It's incredible if used correctly, especially in the professional detailing world.

You can do some pretty substantial correction with a mild cutting pad like the orange lake country pad and a rotary. Just ease off the pressure and/or speed after 3 or 4 passes and it finishes very well on a daily driver. I can fly through a car like this. Use product liberally and do hood in 3-4 sections, doors in 2, and deck lid in 2. Then lightly go around the lower panels. I've never had a customer complain. EVER!

If I get a car with really dull paint (usually from dealers) I'll use a wool pad and really lighten up towards the end of the polishing cycle. Won't Hologram the paint if done correctly. Will leave some swirls obiously, but it's been said a million times. Customers don't know a swirl from a squirrel. They see shiny paint. If they brought their car in scratched and dull, they will be super excited to see a shiny car after it's been corrected with a wool pad and reconditioning cream.

If you aren't getting $180 or more from a customer, never do more than a one step. You won't be sorry!

I charge $175 for a car with no correction. I have a gallon of recon cream but I hate the durability so I don't use it.
 
RhetoricMixes said he's trying out that Hyper Polish this weekend. If that does what they say it may be a good option. I've got some on the way to try.
 
Optimum Polish II new formula. It is coating ready with a damp MF!
 
Menzerna Power Finish 2500 for me. for a quick finish and if you are not going for that high correction rate to preserve the paint, this really works great!

pad dependent, and finishes very nicely!:xyxthumbs:
 
You guys should see what Ken aka 911Fanatic can do with Power Finish, you would swear he performed a 2-step and sometimes a 3-step. He is a master with it...well actually he is just a master at everything detailing related!

I have this but haven't used it. Do you find this finishes good enough on its own most of time, or do you need the Optimim Finishing Polish?

It finishes very well on its own. I did a Honda Fit with only Optimum Polish II and white pads. It was pristine afterwards and I didnt need a solvent to prep for Opti Guard.
