Depends what you are polishing and if you are talking about compunds or buffers, etc. For polishe aluminum wheels I would not buy anything other than California Customs Purple polish and oxidizer. For paint its a whole different story......

Yep, Randy and Bill talked me into the California Customs Purple polish and it's amazing stuff!. I'll be buying more of their products.

This may sound stupid but the best polish I have ever used I got from one of those guys that sell waterless carwash stuff. It is called dri-wash guard, Premium metal polish. I have tried ALOT of other polishes for shining up chrome and stainless and this stuff is awesome. I bought some 50's type bar stools with chrome bases, they were all covered in surface rust and looked awfull, I thought I was going to have to get them rechromed. I put this polish on them and the chrome looks like new.

Next door neighbor likes to work on old european cars. Buys Eastwood stuff by the case. It does a good job but it's high in price.
