Thanks for the post.

I thought the Sonax offered a wider range of cut and finish...

Where do these Sonax products stack up against the Menzerna line in terms of cut and finish? Also, these are DAT correct? From my research, it seems this is somewhat the observation: Sonax Perfect Finish - Cut similar to PF2500 but finishes as good (or better) then SF4000 Sonax Nano Polish -...

Doing a 2 step correction. Orange pad & Menzerna FG400 for compounding. Finishing polish is Menz SF4000. Should I use the Black or White pad? Im leaning towards Black but wanna make sure it will fully take out any haze left by the Orange...

Thanks guys. What grit wet sand? And Im guessing the same can apply to rock chips?

I have some deep scratches on my rear bumper. Hit it with Menz FG400 and a flat Lake Country yellow pad, but some are still there. Am I stuck with them? :( I dont want to burn through my paint...

So far Carpro has caught my eye. The instructions seem simple enough... almost like a normal LSP. Apply, wait for XXX amount of time depending on temp, then buff of with provided microfiber towels. That seems to be less scary than "wipe it in until its invisible", lol.

Im looking at putting a coating on my DD. Im new to the game... which ones are considered Top 3 or 4? And which is easier for a first timer to apply? Heard a lot of bad first time experiences with Opti-Coat for example.

I wouldn't show them a fully corrected car (then) show them the corrected car with coating. They wont see much a difference, heck I don't. Just show them the final product, done, corrected and sealed. They will be wow'd.

When you dive into polish, I highly suggest Menzerna. FG400 - compound PF2500 - swirl remover with good finish SF4000 - light swirl remover with perfection finish And get some lake country pads. All you really need are Orange, White & Black IMO...

Optimum Instant Detail & Gloss Enhancer is a great, cost effective QD. 1 gallon makes 4 dilluted, some make 5 gallons. Optimum Car Wax is a good spray wax (some also use it similar to a QD and apply after every wash) - also avalible in 1 gallon. LSP - check out Dodo Supernatural Hybrid.

Make it a conversation with the host. Interactive... instead of one person just speaking for 45 minutes. Have him ask you SIMPLE questions about each process of wash, protect, maintain... and act like your speaking to 10 year olds as a lot of people wont get our language.

The way I see it is if its for personal use, a PC is fine. If your a pro detailer that needs a better machine that works faster, Rupes or Flex is better. I got a PC - fine for the 2 times a year I use it.

Thanks again. What mixture do you find to work well? 50/50? Or more diluted? I think it comes 70% alcohol from the store... I also have Menzerna Top Inspection but heard it doesnt completely reveal the finish... ever use it?

This winter sux big time. I hate letting my car go week(s) on end without decent conditions to wash it in. I feel your pain. This weekend is going to warm up. I'll use the coin-opp then use ONR.

Thanks Mike. Im working on my Audi S5 which seems to have soft paint. Here it is just cleaned with P21S Paint Cleaner & topped with Collinite 915. Photo is enhanced. In person, I'm not a fan of what Collinite 915 did to the finish, mutted it and dulled it down a bit IMO. I liked it better...

Finish has some light swirls and fine scratches. There are a few deeper scratches here and there too. I have Menzerna: FG400 PF2500 SF4000 Lake Country 3" & 5.5" Flat pads: Yellow Orange Pink (step between orange & white) White Black I was thinking of not using the FG400 as the finish isnt...

I dont do AIO anymore... but if I had to pick, Klasse AIO was great. Werkstat Prime & Prime Strong as well.

Yup, the Makita is great!!

Agreed. I used Collinite 915 on my dark blue Audi S5 about 2 weeks ago. It looked great. But that didnt stop me from buying Supernatural Hybrid. I know for sure SNH will look great, but Ill then want to try out something else.
