This stuff is legit for sure.
Let me preface this review buy saying like most I was using Menz 4500 for super fine polishing. I had OK results with it but they weren't consistent. I am 100% sure that I was the issue not the 4500. It can be hard to wipe off, dust if you don't use enough, dust if you use too much, etc.
I bought some Reflect about 6-8 months ago but had only used it a few times. After talking to Corey and making a few changes on how I use it, it's nothing short of amazing.
The amount of cut it has, how fast it breaks down and how easy it is to wipe off is amazing. I tried to come up with a different word but that best describes it.
I will say using it on the Rupes 21 compared to the PC is a huge difference. The extra stroke of the Rupes enables Reflect to do things a super fine finishing polish shouldn't be able to do. When using it on the PC I still get the same amount of gloss as I do w/ the Rupes 21 but I don't get the defect removal.
The lighting isn't the best but you can still see the defects

Here's a 50/50 pic. The right side is marring left behind from M105/D300 50/50 mix on a Meg's MF cutting pad on the PC. The right is after using Reflect on a Buff & Shine black pad on the Rupes 21.

IMO and I know Corey shares the same opinion on this, Reflect is one of the most under rated polishes out there. I'm doing my part to change that. :)
