Best polish for gloss/shine

[Robscoe]

Hey guys i live in Canada and do not have an affordable way to acquire m101 or m210, but I am willing to fork up extra for the 210 if it is worth the jump. I can get a bottle of 8oz m105 And m205 together for about 40 bucks canadian. Im just wondering what the overall differences would be between say m105 and m110 and m205 / m210. The car in question is a meteor gray mica Mazda 3 and I wouldnt mind doing my old mans silver ranger. The paint is in fairly good shape on the Mazda, of course has very fine fine surface scratches that you have to struggle to see. I have heard some polish has fillers? That sort of makes the fine scratches disappear? Really I just want the overall best shine as I plan on doing the whole, wash, clay/surface prep spray, compound/polish then finish with the m26 paste wax, and Ive been told that the compound/polish step is the most important if I want a really good shine. One last quick question too, is there any discernible difference between the final inspection spray and the quik detailer? Also is there a difference between the gold class shampoo and say the mirror glaze shampoo? Thanks

M105 Ultra Cut Compound was developed over 10 years ago. That said still a great product. However, M110 Ultra Pro Speed Compound, is Meguiar's most premium professional compound. Similar Cut, Better Finishing ability, easier to work with. M210 is especially good if you are dealing with sensitive paint. 205 is still a great finishing polish, but if you run into sensitive paint, it will take much more alternative techniques to get it to finish out, opposed to just product on pad. We do not use fillers. Polishing oils have a natural ability to fill, but only to a certain extent which is pretty minor. Final Inspection is paint shop safe. Other than that, no big difference between it & quik detailer. Mirror Glaze #62 feels a bit more premium IMO over Gold Class/.
