    Menzerna FMJ

    Newby here...advice on which Menzerna polish and pads

    I use either a white or green CCS pad with either IP or 106FF...depends on the how bad the defect is..I never needed a orange pad and when I did try one it left lots of micro marring...the green and white have worked perfect every time.. and doing a sealant..I do by hand ..reason is when you...

    What is the ETA on the edge pads for flex?

    HAHA..I need bugs out there....need to know the scoop on new stuff....see we think alike....that idea of the recessed pad seems like a perfect product...a 1 1/2 inch thick pad...with a 1/4 in recess is ideal...the thickness will give the flexing on contours since the Flex plate is rigid send...

    What is the ETA on the edge pads for flex?

    Aaron..you could make a 6" Edge classic type pad with a recessed center to fit the flex plate also that would auto center also since Flex uses just one type plate..I still use my Edge classics and love them... Al

    Do you use a window sun deflector?

    The one AG sells from Covercraft is the best ....I have one and worth every penny ....the cheaper ones do not keep it cooler..just blocks the sun...but they die off fast from the UV...the covercraft is well made and it does keep the inside cooler... Al
