What, if any differences are there between the two?

FWIW, I've found both to be excellent polishes.
Brunswick appears to have slightly more abrasives in it. Brunswick used to apply it over 400 grit (US/CAMI grade) and got a very high gloss finish.

Personally, in most cases, I'd rather use the less abrasive polish so that I get where I want in gradual increments more easily. You can do the same with the more abrasive polish; you just need to exercise more caution.

Thanks.

Powerhouse tends to give me a more slick, polish feel to it.

Brunswick always seemed to leave a bit more of a tacky feel. 

Is that due to the abrasives?

Not that I am aware.

I get that tacky feeling from all polishes and after fine sandings also.

Charlest, Curious as to what you mean by "I get where I want in gradual increments more easily"

or can you explain your though process behind this,
and what conditions do you consider this for?
