Best One Step Polish

[elk42]

hey guys i am not making a poll but i wanted to ask what you guys go for when the car/truck you're working on only needs a one step polishing procedure. figure light swirls and scratches that can be polished out with only ONE product and using a PC with either an orance or white LC pad. SSR1? M205? Menzerna? love to hear from the experienced one's out there. thanks. Elk P.S. sorry if this is a repost. its early

	Lake Country Pads Lake Country buffing pads is at the top of their game! If you know anything about foam polishing pads, you’re no doubt familiar with this company. They’ve been designing and manufacturing polisher accessories since 1977 and we’d be willing to bet they know a thing or two about car care. In fact, we’re so confident in their expertise, Max enlisted their help to design pads for Palm Beach Motoring Accessories.

Since my DD has single stage paint nothing works better than M80.
I also use it on clear coat most of the time but have many others that i occasionally use.
With 7 vehicles I use different polishes on them to see what I like best but M80 is tops for SS paint.

Ssr 2 or pro polish

SSR 2 if I feel like waxing or sealing afterward, or PWS if I dont

In addition to PB's, I also like Menz 203 as a 1 step.

Another vote for Meguiar's #80 for light swirls & scratches.

For finish more in need of just a cleaner prep, several work for me.
Duragloss #501
Optimum Poli-Seal
Klasse AIO

It will be interesting to see just how many different products are suggested. You could probably get good results with any of at least 50 polishes on the market.

As a side note/question. Isn't the LC Orange pad a light cutting pad?
Will it allow the polish to finish down to where it is LSP ready?
I have some of the LC Orange pads, but have never used them. I always felt I would need to follow up with a less aggressive pad after using the Orange pad.

I am not a pro, but if I am looking to do a one step polish and then straight to wax, like Black Bart, I also like M80 Speed Glaze. I have been using it for several years.

If I am looking for an all in one slight polish/wax product (cleaner wax), I usually reach for Meguiar's M66 Quick Detailer. I really like this product. It will remove some light swirls as well as leaves behind a nicely waxed finish all in one step.

I have not tried any of the PB polishes yet.

Right now, I'd have to go with M205. It finishes nice enough in my opinion. That is assuming you are asking about a polish and not an all-in-one type product that will leave protection behind.

[elk42]

what i want to do is get rid of the minor swirls and scratches with ONE product then seal by hand (Klasse or WGPS) then wax the next day (NB,P21S, or Pinnacle SeriesII)

IMO PB P-w-C or P-w-S are great one step polishes, Klasse AIO is also another one, but I think that its limited in removing minor marring.

The other polish that I have used and like as a finial is SSR1

Like Charles said their are many good polishes and of those that I have used when finished I could not tell a difference in the appearance.

I said my vote was M80 based on not just that it will match others for looks but I can buy it locally it cost about 20 bucks for a gallon that is less than what you will pay for 16 ounces of some.
M 80 is great for a newbie is is very forgiving low dusting and since it was originally designed years ago for single stage paint if you have a vehicle with SS paint like my daily driver the oils in it makes it outstanding.

On clear coat it will look as good as anything and cost less that makes it one I keep buying.

If you are in a rush then 205 would be faster but for minor correction LC orange and M80 will do it pretty quick.

One of my favorite.
