Default When Menz products act up. Preferred Alternatives?

I like to detail still while it's really hot outside. Ambient 90+ in Northern California.

As many others, i've had my Menz products all but stop working. As an alternative, what are some of your favorite produts to go to? Initial research shows the following...

PG - Megs 105
SIP - ?
IP - ?
106 FF(A) - ?
085rd - 3M Ultrafina

More thoughts of a good middle step?

I can tell you M105 finishes down most of the time so well you can go straight to Ultrafina.

Meguiar's for me... I had SIP melt very quickly a week ago on a 1995 Porsche and I went with 83 as an alternative
