Polish - Looking for a recommendation
Discussion
Afternoon,
I have recently purchased a 2015 car.
After going over a small section with medium clay - its obvious the paint is quite contaminated.
As well as the clay bar picking up a lot, the paint feels quite rough when being dried - although it still on the face of it looks good.
I'd like to clay the rest of the car and give it a quick once over polish, followed by a wax.
As the car is a daily driver / family car, I'm not looking for a flawless finish - as the car has a few deeper scratches.
Its been a good while since I properly detailed a car so I'm looking for a one stage polish that will buff it to a reasonable extent, rather than doing what I used to and 3-stage polish.
Would anyone be able to recommend a good polish & 6.5" pad that would help me accomplish this?
I have my faithful DAS-6 polisher that I'm hoping to break out of a 5 year slumber on this one!
In terms of wax, I'm not sure which route to go down, I have a few pots of DodoJuice & some Fusso, always loved how easy the Dodo is to work with but quite like the longevity of Fusso.
Cheers!

I'd recommend one of the Poorboys SSR range.

That with one of your waxes listed to protect would be ideal.
You may benefit from a filler before the wax, like Glossworx Glaze or Black hole.

Lots of good polishes around, i personally find Scholl S20 black very good, ive used it with a chemical guys hex logic orange pad on a few cars with great results.
The Meguiars linked to above is supposed to be great too.
As for wax id choose Fusso coat although i am currently testing out Bilt Hamber touch on to see how it performs as its so easy to use once a month or so.

Thanks for the recommendations.
I ended up going for Menzerna cut force pro.
Been a while since I've spent the best part of 6 hours cleaning - good use of the day off work I reckon, looks much much better than it was.
I think the car had previously had some kind of spray on protection applied, when the car was washed it always seemed like there was something sat on top of the paintwork, took ages to dry - even on the glass.
Todays order was;
- Two good washes with Meguiars
- Clayed with BiltHamber Regular
- One pass of Menzerna cut force pro on a Lake Country CSS green
- One coat of Fusso Soft99
Its not perfect, as I was just trying to achieve a quick brighten up, aulthough it has lost all the swirls and some very light scratches - bonus.
The tar, contaminants that were lifted by the clay was amazing, felt like sandpaper in parts - especially behind the wheels on the front wings.
I also polished the glass, which has made a huge difference.
Very happy with the results, also took the opportunity to debadge and remove all the adhesive.
