    first attempt at detail... did NOT go well

    I completely agree with the above. I also tried the Chemical Guys V-line and their Hex-Logic pads and failed miserably. I switched to Menz FG400 and LC Hydrotech pads, and the results were AMAZING. Not all pads/products are created equal, and certain compounds & polishes will react...

    Grit guard ... who needs em

    Has anyone seen / tried the new CG version (they call it the Dirt Guard). It seems interesting and even comes with a filter element. Thoughts??

    Ceramiclear Benz this weekend

    Menzerna line and LC Hydrotech pads will serve you well on a Mercedes.

    Need Polish Between Menz FG400 & SF4500

    LC Hydrotech pads work great with Menzerna compounds and polishes because these products are water-based and thats exactly what the pads were designed for.

    Huge fan of shiny tires

    A tiny bit, but that was after the first usage and I may have gone a little heavy on application. Wiped off real easy with some waterless wash.

    Huge fan of shiny tires

    I'm a fan too. Currently using CarPro PERL (undiluted) on my tires for an extremely wet look.

    what am i doin wrong? still minor scratches left

    Are you doing it in that exact order? If so, it seems like you might be using 205 & 105 in the wrong order. You should be using 105 to correct, and 205 to finish.

    what type of pads do you own the most of

    I use LC Hydrotech pads because the compounds/polishes I use are all water-based. I have them in both 5.5" and 4". I guess the 5.5" Hydrotechs would be considered "flat," but the 4" Hydrotechs are by no means flat, they are very thick.

    Went from no chips to micro chips in paint

    Rick, Does it look like the below pics? I took the pic from a different thread on this forum, and yes, it was on a Mercedes (2010). It's starting to seem like this might be a semi-common thing with Mercedes paint. I'm really hoping this is still just a normal defect and not some type of...

    Went from no chips to micro chips in paint

    :iagree: I have the same condition on my 2011 Mercedes. I would also describe as them as little "pinholes" or "tiny craters" (sound right?) In my opinion, BlackHawk is 100% right. If there are any sections on this car you have not corrected yet, look very, VERY closely at the paint...

    Looking for good wax and sealant

    I would think that is more closely related to Menzerna Power Lock, since they are both sealants, not waxes. Color Lock is a carnuba wax.
