After trying so many different combinations over the years, I keep coming back to Menzerna. Just seems to work well on this paint. I did take the board's advice and used 4500 with a grey pad to finish things, and I liked it a lot. Next time, I'll just go SIP or FP, and probably straight to...

That laughable. Posting pics of cars (3 posts needed due to size restrictions per post) means I'm new to detailing. Guess this isn't the site for me, I was hoping it would be helpful, but instead it seems judgmental and irrational, ah well. Good luck. Over and out.

Totally kidding, by the way, hope you knew that:props:

Maybe just a couple more, these have been sold, for fun, since I'm so "clearly new" to this :dblthumb2: Feel free to insert your tail between your legs and ooze back into your hole.

Here is my 2005 Porsche 911 SC (SC = SuperCharged, which I did myself). It started out as a Carrera S. Now it's got 530hp. I race this car, and drive it about 10k miles per year. It, too, has a car seat for my son in the back. Also a couple of pics of a pre-detail, and post. This was a...

Haha! I'll never be ashamed for needing advice testing a product I've never used before- that's why I'm here. The 105/205 combo is new to me, and it performed in a way I'm not accustomed to. Though it was not the right combo for this car (experimentation), I do look forward to testing it...

I ordered some PO85RD, but it's shipment has been delayed, so I tried something I've used before, Menzerna Final Polish, with a grey pad. Working really well. Not perfect, but things are looking much, much better. Should look perfect after I glaze and seal it and I'll try the PO85RD next time.

Of course this is the test spot I am referring to, I'm no dummy:dblthumb2: I'll try a few combinations out tonight and report back.

Everythings looks awesome until I hit it with the Brinkman. Then I see Micro-maring, really very fine. Nothing is getting rid of it! UGH :buffing:

OK, well, I did a round of M105 with a white pad, and it's still quite a mess. Hit it with M205/ white pad and it's better. Still not perfect. Perhaps another round of M205/ white? This has been a frustrating detail. I am not new to detailing, just new to these products. My go-to has...

I am not new to detailing, but this car is giving me fits. It's a black 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S. I was excited to try out the M105/205 combo, but I am not sure what I am doing wrong. After using the M105 with a yellow pad on my Flex, the paint is very rough looking. I was expecting it to...
