Default Malco/Presta polishes

Hi all,

I am curious as to whether any of you from the sunnier side of the pond use or rate the Malco and Presta range of polishes. I am one of a small handful of people that seem to use them in the UK, this is mainly because of limited distribution and awareness over here. I thought i might find some mention here as it is their homeland but it would seem you have similar tastes for 3M and Menz.

Opinions appreciated

I have used the Malco Line of products. I was introduced to them before Menzerna, Megs,Poorboys,Wolfgang and the likes. I was very impressed with them. They are a bit cheaper than the other products. In my opinion they are comparable too. I also still use them with clients.

Presta 1500 works great with the edge green wool. I don't care for the P1500 with foam.

Cheers guys.

For those that have used the range, what situations do you use the 1500 in as it seems to be the oddball one of the lot. mainly i use the UCC, UCCL and Plum Crazy Glaze. I have the 1500, 1000 and the 'liquid sandpaper' Eurocut P3.

Compound, 1500, then swirl remover, for dark cars. UCCL then 1500 for light can be enough sometimes
