I'm a NC 44 and the works well for me. It gives me a subtle highlight, whereas the banana gives off an extream highlight which requires more blending. I love a soft look if that's what your aiming for choose the Topaz. I love it and use it everyday.

Yes, you can use ultimate compound, if necesssary. Sometimes a less abrasive compound or polish is enough, depending on the condition of your paint.

I like Maas Polish, as it doesn't streak, and cleans very well. It is the best polish I have ever used!

I have not tried it, personally, but have read reviews on Makeupalley.com (a pretty good makeup review site) where members say they have used regular polish as well as others, such as Gelish.

I go through stages of using it every day, then, I get lazy & use it every other day. Duri is the best...better than Nailtques. My nails are the strongest ever!! My gfs have complimented them. I haven't used polish except when I get my manicure. Duri does build up after a week if used every day. Sometimes, I can peel it off.

M105 and M205 was easier for me to work with. Plus it doesnt have all the fillers that the ultimate polish does. If you use the M105. You HAVE to follow it with the M205. You should only have to use the M105 ONCE on the car. Then wash it properly with the 2 bucket method so you don't put swirl markes back on the paint. If you use the M105 I recommend getting a dual action polisher its safe for beginners. I got mine from harbor freight. It works great just change the backing plate to a 5" and dont buy their pads I got mine from chemical guys.

High gloss gives a prefect gloss. Mot as high as you would assume. It is a wax and to me, is high maintenance because to spill water disrupts the wax. When trying another Bona non wax cleaner it will take a lot of scrubbing (the wax off) before it looks great. Once you use the wax, it is hard to use anything else. I love it. the white bottle cleaner did not do my engineered floors good and that is when i tried the gloss which is awesome if you are willing to put the work in.

Scott, I still really like this product. It has been 6 months now and I use speed shine every time I take my new car for a drive. First I use the California car duster to get the dust off and any bugs not glued on. Then spot clean with Griot's speed shine. It quickly removes the bugs, finger prints, and any tire overspray. On average I am done in under 3 minutes. I finish with the windows. If the shine is not super brilliant I use a little Zymol glaze to punch it up, usually once a month, after cleaning with griot's. Now I started with a good hand wash and waxed it with zymol wax to get a good base coat. It has been 45oo miles and 6 months later and I have not water washed my car or re-waxed and it looks show room clean. I keep the car in a garage. Just finishing spring and lots of bugs especially bees and it is still my favorite spot cleaner. I do use Griot's green spray cleaner when the bugs are especially thick (can't tell what color the car is under them) Seems to be a little better at dissolving mass bugs. But I use the less expensive Speed Shine almost everyday for quick touch ups. I only spot clean, sometimes use it on the wheels, and clean the front around the grill to keep my new car brilliant. I usually run the California duster over the car just before driving and it brings out the luster and gets rid of any dust. You can definitely see a difference. I am still getting lots of comments about how great the car looks (shiny and clean). I have not notice any scratches from cleaning the car this way. I use a soft hand and the rags that Griot's sells with the product. They are an improvement over cleaning clothes I have used in the past. Hope that helps.

You will get the exact same result as in the salon. It took me a few time to get the technique down now I'm good. Don't use a lot of polish and don't put it to close to the cuticle. To save money I use the base and top coat that comes with it and I buy my gel polish when it's on sale at Walgreens the brand Sensational and Kiss are just as good as all the other and I prefer to use them. I am 100% happy with it.

The 3 step paint treatment from Meguiars recommends using the 3 products: Compound for removing swirl marks, contamination, scratches and rust. Polish for dark colored cars to enrich the color. Wax to protect the paint. If your paint is in mint condition, you probably don't need Compounding and you can go directly to Waxing. By the way, this is the best Wax ever !!

Meguiar's clay bar is not rated to my knowledge as fine or ultra fine. I have used other clay bars, Mothers, Turtle wax and others. I found the Meguiar's excellent in removing years of neglect. I reciently purchased a 2005 GMC Envoy, the Meguiar's clay bar gave me a really smooth paint finish prior to waxing. My truck is black and the clay bar did not leave any swirl marks.

It works for me, but you should use 2 coats as a base, and then apply daily over polish for best results. I just ordered my 3rd bottle. I have tried them all, and I get good results with this.

The top coat works as well with other brands of polish. I used it with Sally Hansen salon all in one. CND polish did not wear well. I used Scrub fresh 1st. None lasts 7 days. I also have the entire shellac system- wears better, but terrible to remove. Vinyl lux is easy to remove.

The difference lies in how you want to use it, or how you want it to be used. If you want to spend little time "waxing" your car, but still want a good shine, then the "Ice liquid polish" is your best bet. With the liquid polish, be sure to start with a very clean paint service and use the polish sparingly. When first applying the polish, I poured it into a spray bottle and misted it onto the included microfiber cloth and wiped down the car. This method works extremely well for a quick shine of one's car and I have since abandoned all "spray bottle waxes" and have used this method instead. However, this method works well primarily for a good shine, but i wouldn't count on it to provide any sort of long lasting protection; three weeks to a month tops. The "Ice liquid wax" should be used if one is looking for protection with the added benefit of shine. But this process will take longer to apply. It won't be a simple spray and wipe off like the liquid polish. If deciding to take the time to do a full wax, buff, and wipe off, is within your interest, then there are other "waxes" that are superior to the ice liquid wax, in my opinion. Meguiar's "hi-tech yellow wax 26" is some of the best stuff that i have ever used. It's a blend of the best parts of natural carnauba wax's deep ominous shine and long lasting synthetic wax technology. If you have a dark colored vehicle, then this stuff will serve you very well. Another positive point to mention about the hi-tech wax is that it costs less than the ice liquid wax. I hope this helps.

Polish will enhance gloss and remove minor surface scratches. I would highly recommend checking out Youtube and search for "Meguiars Ultimate". Meguiar's offers instructional videos that demonstrate the ability of their products.
