I don't use these for general purpose drying.

I struggled with Chemical Guys V36 and V38 polishes but they left very fine scratches in the finish (micro-marring). Mike Phillips at Autogeek sent me samples of Wolfgang equivalent products ("total swirl remover" and "finishing glaze") and I got a beautiful finish, and I'm a complete beginner with machine polishing. I was impressed enough to buy some more. It's expensive but it works and you won't need much for a bike.

Big difference between Wolfgang and chemical guys polishes. Wolfgangs are made by Menzerna, I have a lot of theirs and they are great.
You found polishes that work for your style. Makes life easier for sure.
Best finishing polish I have found on my vivid black is HD polish+ and CarPro Reflect. Im telling you Coop give Polish Angel a try!

Coatings might be more that I want to take on, but maybe. My only complaint with the WG finishing glaze is it splatters, I probably use to much on the pad. I'll keep your recommendations in mind, thanks for all the advice.
