Re: Product question

Cut (from most to least):
M205
D301
Ultimate Polish

Gloss (from most to least):
Ultimate Polish
M205 = D301 (as per my experience so far)

D301 - Cleaner/ Wax - D/A, hand
M205 - Cleaner/ Polish - rotary, D/A, orbital, hand
Ultimate Polish - Cleaner/ Polish - D/A, orbital, hand.

Thanks! I guess I will stick with 301. I was just looking for something with extra zap on black car.

Your Caddy DTS looks sweet Mark, not sure you can do much more to it.

Re: Product question

Ultimate Polish is based on M205 but UP has more polishing oils were as M205 has more cleaning and refining abilities. D301 is a light duty cleaner wax, especially used in conjunction with the microfiber finishing disc, so it's really quite a bit different from the other two.

UP may well give more gloss on a darker color, but if you're using a rotary for finishing them M205 on a foam finishing pad can do wonders for clarity of the finish.

Thanks Mike,
No rotary for this guy. I ruined paint on one Cadillac and not about to do it again. DA for me.
