Default Polishing

What does everyone use to polish after wet sanding? I know to use a buffer but is there a specific paste or polishing compound that is best to use?

I use 3M products. Light or Heavy Compound depending on depth of wet sanding marks. Follow up with Swirl Mark Remover and then Hand Glaze. Finish with Meguiar's NXT wax.

Make sure to use the appropriate bonnets for the buffer too. The wrong bonnet can ruin the final results.

I did some light wet-sanding on a few spots on my car, followed by Menzerna Intensive Polish with a yellow pad on my PC polisher. Once the heavy scratches were removed (two passes), I stepped down to the orange pad with IP again and then finished with Menzerna Final Polish II with a white pad. Sealed and done. Came out looking great.

Good to hear, sounds like you knew what you were doing all along.
