Polish (medium cutting):
Polish (heavy cutting):

I realize that your product of choice may vary from situation to situation and will also depend on what color of vehicle you are detailing, however just your overall favorite product for the category is fine. Just cut and paste the above into your post and fill in your favorite product. Thanks.

Thanks bro. I posted the following on Driver as well.
The reason I wanted to start a thread like this is that I have my own detailing business and am always looking to try new products. I just wanted to gather some information and see what other detailer's favorite products are. As for me, the best products for each category that I have used so far are the following:
Car Soap: Poorboys Super Slick & Suds
Claybar: Clay Magic (fine grade)
Polish (light cutting): Menzerna P0106FF
Polish (medium cutting): Menzerna SIP
Polish (heavy cutting): Menzerna Power Gloss
Glaze: Don't use it, but have ordered Menzerna's Finishing Touch
Sealant: Menzerna FMJ
Wax: Poorboys Natty's Blue
Tire Dressing: Poorboys Bold N Bright
Wheel Sealant: Poorboys Wheel Sealant
Interior Protectant: Aerospace 303
Leather Care: Lexol leather cleaner/Zaino Z10
Quick Detailer: Zaino Z6
Glass Cleaner: Stoners
I have Poorboys entire SSR lineup of polishes as well which I find are very good, but I think Menzerna's are a step above. Another product worth mentioning that I really like is Optimum Car Wax. It's a spray carnuba that is quick and easy to use and also gives you great added depth and gloss.

i've yet to try Menzerna products but hear they are top notch.
if you're feeling like trying something new, give 4star UPP a try as a sealant for light colored vehicles. it looks good on black/blue/dark gray, but excels on light silver and whites. plus, it's extremely easy to put on and take off.

With a polish collection like that, I don't think you even need glaze! If the scratches are that deep, that guy needs to go to a body shop haha. I like your selection though! We probalby share at least 70% of the same stuff
