ive been putting buying a polish off for a while now, ive got 2 of everything else, but i have no polish, ive come to the conclusion that i want a micro-abrasive polish, my paintwork is really quite bad, so i need a polish with fillers
im torn between these two...
-----
Meguiars Ultimate Compound
Autoglym Super Resin Polish
-----
ive never been a fan of AG, but i know the SRP has constant high reviews, and i think the AG Fast Glass is amazing (for a glass cleaner)
im not considering DoDo Juice Lime Prime, as i feel its over priced, where as the other 2, theyre near enough the same price for the same quantity, im a megs fan but i dont know if the SRP will be better?
opinions?
thanks guys!

Afaik SRP has no cut at all mate, pretty much all fillers although i could be talkin rubbish! :embarassed:
-
lime prime - dont bother if you dont have a machine buffer imo.
I am under the impression AG is just a filler.
Megs glass cleaner is miles better than AG glass cleaner :wink:
-
I have them both and I do rate both products but for different jobs !
SRP is (IMO) a very good polish which does a good job of filling and masking as well as providing a good shine and base layer to wax or seal on top of.
Megs Ultimate compound is when used by hand very good at removel of light scratches and swirls but like a lot of products it does have to be worked to get the best from it.

I have Meg's ultimate compound and I applied by hand and by DA polisher and both times been disappointed. I use the 3M compounds and polish and get great results but like lime prime these are better when used with a DA polisher.
-
if you need a polish with fillers then AG SRP is your product
if you want a good polish by hand then dodo LP will do the job very well, but obviously not as well as with a polisher
if you are looking for any type of correction then you will need to use a DA/Rotary

Have a look at Auto Finesse Tripple:

Superb AIO, which cuts, fills and protects (similar to SRP, but boosted on each front)
Better value than Lime Prime too :smiley:

If this product is used, does that mean there's no need to wax??

Is that the same sort of thing as DJ need for speed? Thats all I really use at the mo, but if it gets on plastics, it wont come off for weeks! Thinking of changing...............
-
DJ LP applied by hand is really great. Fantastic results IMO. Also good at getting rid of stubborn tar stains if missed em before hand!
-
i used dj lp on a mates car as he doesnt clean his car but has dodo juice stuff, and i did find it really good
the dj nfs i dont find 'tough' enough, i have the megs nxt gen tech 2 for the corsa, but its not suitable for the golf (the corsa has a daylight-unseen £2k paint job) the golf is a bit worn for wear :sad:
-
What about purchasing a DA to aid you? I am buying one soon and hoping it be a worth while investment as many people rave about them...esp when using DJ LP. There are plenty of snaps on other forums of that combination used that are very impressive.

also something to consider is how you apply the polish, i've been getting much better results using a german applicator than i ever did with a microfibre cloth.
poorboys pro polish 2 gets out marks quite well, and i've been experimenting with finishkare 215 which has given a nice finish, and hides minor marks quite well i've found so far, wont give much in the way of removing swirls by hand, but i'm still trying out different techniques.
megs deep crystal stage 2 gives a nice shine, but doesnt do too much for removal of marks, unless combined with the stage 1 paint cleaner, it does get some results, but i find this is more for improving the shine rather than sorting any marks.
the other polish i was considering was a wolf one, no idea if its any good but the brake duster is so guess the polish might be also
