Super Resin Polish leaves good results BUT it leaves a lot of chalky dust everywhere and if you get it on plastics, it's a massive pain to get it off again. Couldn't comment on the latter though...

Super Resin contains abrasives so has a form of cut to it, Ultra Deep shine doesn't - so it's essentially a glaze.
IIRC UDS is designed predominantly for dark colours, SRP works on all, but I personally find it better on lighter ones.
SRP isn't too hard to work with if you damp the applicator and use sparingly.

I use a bit of quick detailer on wax/polish if it's being a pain to get off. Not sure if that's the right thing to do or not, but it works

Apply using a slightly damp microfibre / terry towel material applicator.
Apply thinly. Leave to haze.
Buff off with soft clean microfibre cloth. If you're struggling to remove it, spritz a small amount of quick detailer or water on to the panel and buff with microfibre. If doing it properly it'll come straight off and will be fine

Far easier to apply with an actual pad rather than cloth too.

Bilt Hamber without a shadow of a doubt. "Soft" is usually the best option for most people.
Just updated my eBay store this morning with both soft and regular grades. 200g bar means you can cut it into 3 or 4 and make it last. Doesn't need a separate lube - just water or water with a drop of car shampoo in is fine
Oh, and I sell Autosmart Luxury Wax Polish which is Autosmart's version of AG SRP - better imo
