I compounded my car the other day with 3M fine cut. It has never been my favorite product and this time was worse than the rest. It was 60 degrees outside and I could not get the product to dry out and dust off like it typically does. I washed the car with dawn and now I have fine lines and a slight haze all over the car. I know it is easy to fix but I really want to start with a better polish.

I am really interested in a water based polish/swirl mark remover like Menzerna Intensive Polish or Zaino PC. I liked the Menzerna until I did a google search for the best price. Every link I found had the same price and the same testimonial marketing crap. I looked at Zaino brothers but at 8oz for $13, it is a little steep.

What other options are there?

 

Ive used the Poorboys product a couple times and I like it alot.

I use the SSR2.5 before I go ahead and apply the Klass SG and AIO with a top coat of P21S

Not exactly what I was looking for. The Menzerna Intensive Polish looks like a perfect solution but I haven't found any "real world" reviews of the product.

 

Meguiar's M82 Swirl-free polish

 

man to be honest, I detailed for a little while on the side... some of the best stuff I have ever used was a little yellow bottle at Wal-Mart called scratch out. Digs out a lot of those clear coat swirl marks. once I buffed that out I went over it with Meguire's Gold class. Works great every time. Just make sure you put something over the scratch out, it's not a wax so it won't last long without wax.

 

Did some searching on my own and found this:
