I'm buying a 32oz Optimum Compound for use with a 7424 and orange 5.5" low pro LC pads. I also have SSR 2.5 for major swirl correction.



My question is what are the best follow-up polishes to use before your LSP? I have PB's SSR1 and PwC, do I REALLY need OP?



Just posting your 3 or so favs to "clean up" the surface after the compound/heavy polish will be helpful to me. Thanks.
 
Blackfire SRC Finishing Polish is my favorite.



FPII is a *very* close second.



OP is third, but I mainly use it as a one-step polish, and not to remove compound haze.

So OC and a orage LC pad will most likely haze? Would the SSR1 remove that with a white pad?
 
I just want to jump in on this thread.



I have OC and the XMT line.



I really like using OC and a yellow pad on the really tough areas. However, I get major hazing and micromarring with OC and yellow pad.



I've used XMT1 and XMT2 on the Edge orange pad(finishing pad). Even when using XMT2 on an orange finishing pad the micromarring is very hard to get out. I've only used it on my white Mustang, so maybe it's the car? I didn't have a problem taking out the swirls and scratches though.

Pretty much any compound on a light cutting pad will haze/micromar the paint to some degree. I have no experience with SSR1 so I don't know how it does with compounding haze.
 
You can use OP with a polishing pad and then a finishing pad, so it can be your light swirl/haze remover and your final polish.



OC and a cutting pad will leave some hazing on softer paints, minimal to none on hard paint.



SSR1 and PwC are really more paint cleaners (especially PwC) than defect removers. I don't know for sure if either can remove compounding haze or not. Poli-Seal and a polishing pad will remove compounding haze, so that is another option.

SSR1 seems to have some grit to it, I'd think it would remove any hazing no problem. Well, that's what I'm going to use it for, I've already spent enough money for now until this business gets up and running, so for now, just the OC, 2.5, 1, and PwC will have to be the "polishes."
 
My top 3 would be:



Menzerna P0106FF (used to be P085RD, but it was discontinued in the states)

Zaino ZP-C

Menzerna Final Polish II
