I am going to add Menzerna to my arsenal but there are too many choices!

Whats a good follow up for Megs 105?

After using 85RD, I am seeing a lot of Menzerna in my future too. I also looking for a intermediate step between 105 and P085RD (SF4500)

Power finish might be the answer BUT it's going to be dependent on the paint and what you used to work the 105. If it was rotary and wool on hard paint then you'll likely need another step before PF. If its a da and mf pad then you may be able to use PF then 85rd and done.
 
What I believe is they labeled the bottles according to what grit of wetsanding scratches each polish can remove.

Example:
IP 2000 – Intensive Polish (PO91E) - This will remove 2000 grit scratches

Does this make sense?
 
That's not the problem. It's what became what and what do I need to hunt down. I don't like SIP at all! Used it a few times and it's way too finicky for me. I prefer ip and the dust that comes with it.

I love SIP, I think it's one of the most versatile polishes on the market.


Keep in mind, product performance is influenced by environment and geographical location which determines your climate, (temperature & humidity).


So what works well for someone in one part of the world doesn't automatically mean it will work well for everyone everywhere...


Personal technique and preferences area always factors too...

Agreed Mike. For those same reasons many experience differences with LSP's and detail sprays and so forth. I just quietly moved the product out of my arsenal and went back to what was already working for me consistently.

Being mobile means the conditions are pretty much never the same. That makes me pretty much stick to what works in a wide range of situations. I have power finish but haven't even broken the seal yet. Guess I'd better get around to it. ;)

Power finish is a perfect step after #105, even if you have used a wool cutting pad. PO203 will easily remove any traces left behind from 105.

If I am doing a three stepper I go for : FG500, PO203S(but I have PO203 as well) and then follow it up with PO106FA

If I am using FG500 with a foam pad and on a hard paint I can just use PO106FA or PO85RE5.
 
Menzerna Fast Gloss FG500 is not in the chart; I was wondering why and how it compares to M105 cutting wise?!?

Thanks
 
FG500 is not sold in the US, I think due to VOC requirements.
 
Hi all,

I've been looking at the menzera line up the past couple of days and am finally starting to understand it (maybe).

I was thinking of getting a line up like:

PG1000
PF2500
SF4500
SW-Protect ([FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sealing Wax)

Does this look right?

If I had a car in bad condition use all, if it was better start from the PF2500 and so on right?

Also, haven't seen much about the Sealing Wax, is it any good?

Go with the FG 400 instead of the PG 1000, the rest are great products.

I haven't used this cleaner/wax yet. That's because almost all my work is multiple step process and in a multiple step process you don't use a cleaner/wax after dong a dedicated final polish step, technically this would be working backwards.


I'm sure it's a great product with the name Menzerna on the label. If you need a light cutting cleaner/wax than go for it.

***Update***


I've added the FG400, Color Lock and Paint Refresh to the original list of products in the first post of this thread to make it more inclusive as these three products all were introduced "after" I wrote this article.

I think Mike meant that PG is an older-tech product, which has a lot of cut but also can leave a lot of hazing. Kind of like comparing one of the older Mirror-Glaze compounds to M105.

My interpretation of their lines is that if you use FG400, you can potentially skip the polish stage and go right to a finishing polish such as FF3000 or SF4000/4500.

If you use PG 1000, you might need to follow with PF2500 and then a finishing polish.

Sound about right?
