The Scholl compounds are good, for a golf I would use S3 and one of their orange waffle pads followed by S40 and one of their black waffle pads

can S30 be used with a green or blue hexlogic pad for a mirror finish?

Totally depends on current condition of the paint and what machine you're using

In my experience s30 won't touch vag paint, I had to go to s3. I would suggest s17 or s20 black for a single stage. Then s40 to final finish

S30+ and a black hex with a rotary buffer will do a nice one-step polish for removing slight haze off of VAG paint. Key is to use a good amount of pressure during working and then finishing off carefully with lower rpm's and very little to no pressure at all on the pad. For a more serious correction a good combination would be S3G with an orange hex and then to finish off with S30 + black hex - again with a rotary machine. I've used both combinations with great success on black and red VAG paints.

Scholl products need to be worked a little different compared to the traditional Menzerna products for example. Scholl ones need more pressure and you can basically skip the warm up phase of the traditional "zenith" method - that way the process is a fair bit faster with Scholl products. With a correct amount of product on the pad there is also little to no dust during polishing. I really like all Scholl products and recommend them to everyone.

90% of all of the cars I have detailed have had Scholl used on them.
Primarily a hit or two with S3 Gold and then on VAG paint S40 with a medium pad gives a very very good finish, with no holograms.

For a single stage polish I would actually go for Sonax 4/6. Better than Scholl S20 black.
