Conclusion

Jescar Micro Finishing Polish is awesome. If you like using Menzerna SF-3500 but have been put off by how oily it is to remove or how expensive it is to purchase - Jescar Micro Finishing Polish is the answer. I can’t wait to use up my current supply of SF-3500 so I can switch over.

I hope you enjoyed this review and the information provided was helpful to anyone considering purchasing any or all of these products.

A finally a very big Thank You! to Meghan@AG for sending me these goodies for this review :)

That looks wonderful for sure. My question is, Isn't that heavy compound a little strong to be using for that micro marring?
 
Awesome review. thanks Angus. And, a beautiful looking E93 in Black Saphirre Metallic. Wish mine looked like that!

Excellent review! I was like, I didn't press play on any video!?!? and then realized...GIFs. WAY COOL man!!

Nice results.

Love how you can SEE how easy it is to wipe off the Jescar. The polish is similar in color to Ultima's Final Polish, and from what I recall it, too, was easy to wipe off.

Thanks, Jesus! Glad to hear everyone likes the Gifs so much. They're a fun way to highlight areas of interest :)

Thanks for the review!!!! I liked the gifs too! Nicely done. I enjoyed using the Jescar products also and they pair perfect with the new HDO pad line also. One thing to remember while comparing the Uro-etc line in comparison to this is that they are apples and oranges. Our blue pad is only a light cutting pad, while we utilize the HDO microfiber for heavy cutting. The Uro-tech line uses a more coarse blue foam. Jescar compound works great with the microfiber cutting pad because it is very low in oils etc. The HDO blue pad is perfect when matched with the compound for light defect removal. It works phenomenal as a polishing pad with the microfinishing polish too. I just wanted to make sure there was some clarification since I wouldn't classify the two pads compared as similar in any way really.

Thank you for the kind words, David!

And my appologies - I should I stressed better my results between your HDO pads vs. B&S Uro-tec's. You're right, they are apples to oranges. As a combo, the Blue and Orange HDO's are awesome pads for a 2 step corrections! Heck 95% of the pads in my arsenal are made by Lake Country - so obviously I'm a fan.

First chance I get, I'll do a proper review of LC HDO pads :)

Not sure I'd call this only micro marring:

Regardless, Jescar Correcting Compound did a great job.

Thanks, Paul! From your avatar photo, your e92 looks pretty good too!!
 
Angus, what do you think you could do to reduce the amount of passes, but still yield similar or the same results?

A different pad or polisher? Would a rotary have expedited one or both steps?
 
The speckled purple consistency of MFP looks exactly the same as SF-3500 and Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish. Smells pretty similar too. Anyone know why finishing polishes tend to be this color? Is there a technical reason besides being a nice color?

Maybe their all made by the same manufacturer?

Great question, there are a lot of factors to consider:
  • Condition of the paint
  • Results you're trying to achieve
  • Type of abrasive technology your compound/ polish uses (diminishing vs non-diminishing)
  • Type of machine
  • Selection of pads

The above add up to why performing a test spot is so important in order to see what combination (polish, pad, machine) will achieve the desired results in the shortest amount of time. There are a lot of additional factors to keep in mind too such as downward pressure applied while polishing, residue build up on the pad, amount of heat between the pad and pain surface, severity of paint defects etc...

For me, using Jescar MFP on a yellow B&S Uro-Tec polishing + 5-6 passes is what it took to break down the polish to achieve maximum gloss in the shortest amount of time.

Hope that helps?
 
Angus,

Thank you for the explanation!

So for the LC cross-over for this based on David from LC:

Jescar Compound : microfiber cutting pad (heavier defect removal) or HDO Blue (for light defect removal)

Jescar Polish : HDO blue pad

FYI - I see you're from Chadds Ford - love it down there! We're members at Longwood :)

Sure thing! As far as the Blue HDO for both compounding and polishing, in general, yes BUT I wouldn't rely on that 100% of the time. Again - test spots are important.

Yes sir! Longwood is great - we go often:) Are you excited to see the new fountains in action? I am!

For anyone curious about what we're talking about:

hopefully not diverging too much from the thread topic, but yes, we're very excited to see the new fountains and will probably wait until the fall to go after some of the initial fervor dies down - hopefully :)
