Good info.

No wonder that Meguiars Body Scrub didn't do dick on my sisters 8 year old Explorer. It's only a 4!

Meg's body scrub i've found to be a good cleaner, but really not good for anything else

Where would Griot's Fine Hand Polish fit in here?

I don't see Meguiars #6 on the chart.

JDM H22A4

might i suggest using the
3M IMPERIAL MACHINE GLAZE 05991 its a great product and for those so cali show goers thats what i use on my car. the only thing i can say sucks about it. is that it all has to be put on even. if not then youll be spots and thats whats hard to take off. A++++ product because once your car is done, the paint feels very soft as if it just came out of the body shop. very good product. but ill have to try to 39007. what i got cost me $10 a bottle with about a quart. last a long time. i got it when i just got my car painted and ive only used less than half

This list seems to contradict the listings at properautocare.com.

They have the 3M SMR and the Meguiars #9 in the same categories--polish. whereas listed above they have the SMR two groups higher (harsher),

Plus, the above list has the Meguiars Premium Paint Cleaner in the same group as the 3M SMR, whereas the Meguiars is listed as a compound and the SMR as a polish over at properautocare....
