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.
