    Hey all, I'm heading over to the local auto body supply supply shop, to browse their selection. they have most meg's polishes (except 205), and most 3M US polishes. Just wondering about the quality of the ultrafina when bought in the US. They want about 40 bucks for a quart/litre (whatever size they come in, don't know off hand).

    Anyways, just wondering if it would be a waste of 40 bucks to get the US version of 3M UF (or any of the 3M US polishes for that matter).

    Thanks!

    I have used the UK and the US version and really couldn't tell a difference in the 2. It's a great finishing polish.

    Me too, I've used them both and can't tell a difference in performance. I just use the US version now.

    Thanks, guys! Do you find the same conclusion with the other US versions of their polishes?

    Ive only used the US version of UF, but Ive also heard there isn't a difference.

    No difference at all. I used US UF today and it was great.

    3m UF (US Version) is a great last step polish. Simply amazing.

    Which kid? I remember there were a couple. But no. There is an auto body supply shop about 30 miles away from me. I can get all the Meg's gallons (shampoo plus, wheel brightener, etc.) for pretty cheap, and no shipping. I saw they also have the 3M US polishes, so Ithought maybe I'd pick some up. but I have a LOT of 1Z to burn through first.

    I've only ever tried the US version, but I think it's the best final polish I've ever used :headbang:
