I am looking for a polish that I can use with a rotory after I use Megs #84 - Compound Power Cleaner and before I use the #26 Wax, therefore I would like it to have lots of fillers to help take care of anything that the #84 did not. Most people on here tend to like things without fillers so there is not a lot of talk of this kind of stuff. I need something that isn't too expensive and something that I can get in bulk, preferabally locally. From what I've seen the 3M SMR has a lot of fillers and is a pretty good product, any other? Thanks.
Looking for a polish with LOTS of fillers

- Start date
Going with Meguiar's product line:
Meguiar's No. 9 v2.0 or Body Shop line Swirl Free Polish No. 82
That should do the trick nicely. However, I'd probably add DACP before the Swirl Remover
CPC --> DACP --> SFP --> No. 26 or No. 16;
if I had a lot of time then add a glaze
CPC --> DACP --> SFP --> No. 7 glaze --> No. 26 or No. 16

How about 1Z Paint Polish... I used it yesterday with great success. Very easy polish to work with and it fills in minor swirls and scratches 
I read on here that #82 does not have many fillers, but that #9 does. Can anyone confirm this? I didn't realize that you could buy #9 in gallons, I thought it was more of a consumer version of #82, but I just checked and you can so that's probably what I will go with.
From what I've seen there isn't much difference between the DACP and SFP so personally I would just leave the DACP step out.
So how big of a difference do you think the #7 would make?

Now this is what I heard from a meg's rep - DACP actually has very little abrasives in it and it does most of it's cleaning using chemicals.
Since SFP also uses chemicals to polish then that would lead me to believe that they are fairly similar. I would think that the results that you get from DACP and SFP would also be pretty similar.
If anything I have said is wrong then please let me know. Thanks.

DACP definetly has abrasives in it. Not as much as Compound Cleaner or Diamond Cut, but it does have more than just chemical cleaners. Looking at the Meguiar's Catalog, it says, "Combines the perfect amount of abrasive cleaner and pure, rich polish..." Meg's rates DACP, 6 and SFP 3 on their abrasiveness scale.
I usually use SFP as a follow up to DACP when doing dark colored cars.

Meguiar's #80 Speed Glaze may work for you. Its similar to Megs #7 "Show Car Glaze" but has some abrasives in it also. Here's a few product links and descriptions. Also below the links are two posts by Mike Phillips from Meguiar's about Speed Glaze.

Mike Phillips posts about Speed Glaze:
Speed Glaze is unique in that it contains a synthetic, "Paintable Polymer".
This offers painters and body shop owners a way to provide their customers with a level of "paint protection" throughout the paint manufactures recommended cure period, (like that offered by a synthetic wax), without the fear of contaminating the shop or interfering with the cure process.
It has a high content of Meguiar's trade secret polishing/conditioning oils and thus makes dark colors look very dark, much like some of Meguiar’s pure polishes. Example: #7 Show Car Glaze, #3 Machine Glaze, Deep Crystal Polish and #81 Hand Polish.
At the same time, it is a "Cleaner/Polish", because it also contains Meguiar's Diminishing Abrasive Technology, which enables it to remove fine defects while leveling the surface.
It is not as aggressive as #83 Dual-Action Cleaner Polish but is more aggressive than #9 Swirl Remover as well as #82 Swirl Free Polish.
Because of the above three characteristics it is unique among the Mirror Glaze line of products.
It’s a product that you must try for yourself in order to find out if it works for your particular situation.
It can be used by hand, rotary buffer and dual-action polisher.
-------------
The difference between #80 Speed Glaze and #81 Hand Polish is #80 Speed Glaze contains a small amount of diminishing abrasives to give it cutting power. The thing that separates this diminish abrasive from other products like #83 and #82, and even #84 and #85 is that the diminishing abrasives in #80 Speed Glaze break down quickly.
They do not hang in there for a long time giving you a long cutting time period. They cut fast and then quickly break down.
Another characteristic of this product is it is extremely rich in Meguiar's TS polishing oils, as in it has a high content of these oils.
This creates extremely deep, dark results on medium to dark colored cars.
It's kind of like #7 with short-lived cutting power.
I never use to use this product much in my detailing life, but lately I have been trying it first, instead of DACP on both the rotary and the PD.
I would recommend it as another good tool to have in a well equiped tool box.
