    What are you guys using thats has as much cut or alittle more than SIP but still finishes down well. Im looking for something to use when the SIP acts up. Im going to get some ultrafina for when my 106 acts up but i need an alternative to SIP ,something inbetween my megs 105 and menzerna106 ?

    1Z IP and 1ZHG are good alternatives to SIP and 106. Ultrafina is more comparable to 85rd than 106.

    I find that 1Z works the best if you use the right technique, otherwise you won't get the same level of gloss.

    yea i love the megs 105 but in some cases when the client only wants a 1 step ,im looking for something to take care of bussiness and atleast finish down good enough i can run an AIO after to get it LSP ready. What is the dusting like on these listed[i like no dust]? So far this is what im looking at , any thing you can add or comment on will be helpfull thanks.

    I reccomended Gloss Its Evolution cut for an SIP alternative. Very easy to use...in any condition you could imagine. It finishes down very nicely also. And if you need a little more cut then Gloss Its extreme cut is also a choice for use on a foam pad, if you want an even heavier cut and more correcting power use extreme cut with a wool pad.

    The UCCL can be used with aggressive foam or wool. The wool makes the usual mess that wool does, I don't remember any dusting with foam. It does finish down quite nicely however. I have the X3 but I'm not as fond of it.

    I must be a bit old-school... but I use #83 from Meguiars. Longer work time, takes a little more time to appreciate its working style, but once cracked it'll easily match SIP for cut and finish.

    83 is what I use when Menzerna SIP acts up. In fact, I've been using mostly Megs for everything latey, hmm...

    Well said... if you work it too long, or not enough, it usually leaves haze for me and tends to dust a lot if worked for too long... if however you get it just about right, I find that it has more cut than SIP and very similar finish... I also use #80 when SIP acts up... #80 is much easier to use than 83 and finishes down a little nicer imo, but doesn't have the cut of 83, maybe not even SIP... still great for a 1-step

    Same here... I've gone through Optimum, Menzerna, 1Z just recently, and 3m... from that I've only kept working with SIP, 106ff and PG, otherwise it's back to good ol' Meg's, especially with the new stuff... I'm in love with M95!

    Prima swirl is some good stuf. Use it with a Rotary and orange LC pad then finish with a PC and white pad. Or PC with orange and white, this product is makin it hard for me to try Meguiars or other polishes.
