Well the paint work on the 6 is in an absolute state. Swirls everywhere so it needs a good polish. I was going to go over it with some cutting compound. I have some Meguiars 105 here and tbh, its not all that good so I'm looking for something a little better? I know a lot of people use 3M stuff but not sure exactly what to buy?
Thanks all!

farcla g6 as recommended from my friend that work at mclaren i use it on the 205 and the 106 easy working and not overly aggressive. I use a medium yellow g3 velcro machine pad too.

3M is great, and really I should promote it being we sell it and I'm the collision specialist at ECP... But I personally prefer Fareclar products if I'm honest

105 can work well depending on the pad and tool you are using.
Cant go wrong with menzerna combined with a good pad. For sake of extra couple of quid why bother with the silver line sponges that just break up as you look at them. i can make my pads last a while and iv given them abuse on vans. If your looking at the hexlogic pads may as well buy them from the company that make them Flexipads
