LOL. I couldn't think of how to phrase it. But you said it pretty well in your other post. Anything outside of waxes and sealants are used for paint correction, and can be thought of like sand paper grit. Next spring, I'll probably end up polishing my whiteout. I didn't have the time for that step in the time I've owned my FR-S. I'd like to use it to remove the very little marring I have on the paint.

Since I mainly use Meguiar's, for anyone who wants off the shelf items, I believe how abrasive their consumer line is as follows:

Ultimate Compound, Scratch-X, Swirl-X, Deep Crystal polish. Correct me if I'm wrong. lol. I may be forgetting some products, but those are the only ones I've had to use.
