Ever wondered what really makes a polish different from a compound? In this episode, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned while developing my own one-step polish, including the surprising stuff most people never hear about.

From abrasive types and oil blends to the differences between Chinese, American, and European abrasive suppliers, this episode dives deep into what actually matters in paint correction products—and what’s just marketing talk.

Here’s what I cover in this episode:

• Why the abrasive is the most important part of any polish or compound

• The difference between diminishing and non-diminishing abrasives

• How oil blends impact dusting, work time, wipe-off, and finish

• Why the line between compounds and polishes is blurrier than you think

• The real process behind creating Picture Perfect Polish and why I called it a “polish” on purpose
