Can someone give me some negatives on using a carnuba as a LSP. I heard it doesn't last very long. What else?

i would also like to know.

I'm too new to fully understand what your saying. Can you break that down to some simpler terms? Are you saying that the Carnuba will get sticky over time? What is "jetting effect"? I just thought that layering sealant and topping with a good Carnuba was going to be some crazy great improvement...

Does anyone think there is a real advantage to this? Am i really layering anything or just removing access product? I just put 2 coats of Menz Power Lock on my whole car. I then taped half of the hood and door and applied Pinn Sov Carnuba. I can't tell one bit of difference. Starting to...

Aztek Orange Pearl 76 Trans Am, Super Jet Black 77 SE Trans AM, and a Pewter 02 Trans AM. [/URL][/IMG]

I ended up ordering Menzerna SI 1500, SF 4000, Power Lock Sealant, Color Lock Carnuba and used the 30% off code. I also ordered 9 Lake Country flat pads.....3-orange, 3-white, 2-black, and 1-blue. I also picked the Pinacle free-bee. I guess we'll see how this goes for the new guy! Hope I don't...

I've not ordered anything yet. I've just been staring and reading for way too long now! I'm actually leaning towards: Menzerna SIP (SI 1500), Super Finish (SF 4000), Power Lock, and topping it with Pinn Souveran. Does this seem like a decent combo?

During the compound stages. I have a car that was finished with 3M Ultrafina and it has a definate oily feel and look to it. Trying to figure out how to remove it.

I'm thinking of using Pinnacle Souveran Carnuba over the BF duo. Is there any advantage to using a sealant first?

What do you use to wipe down a panel to check your work? I saw some abbreviations, but I don't know what they stand for. Sorry.

Once I'm done with the compound and polish stage....what do you top this with? Or do you topcoat at all? Paint is dark red and black. Neither car will ever see bad weather, just local car shows. I don't think I want or need a sealant, or do I ?

Thanks for all the info!

Just curious, if these are menzerna products....why even have the others? Sorry, but the new guy is confused.

These are the cars I'm working on [/URL][/IMG]

The only thing I've got so far is a Porter Cable DA and about 50 microfibers from Chemical Guys. I also have some old Menzerna Final Polish II and Finishing touch glaze. It's been many years since I've done any real detailing other than Meg NXT. I do have access to a Makita rotary, but no...

Blackfire duo, Wolfgang, or Menzerna Which one would you pick and why? Or something else all together?

Thanks guys. I'm afraid that the orange would be too aggressive. I just don't have enough experience to know which pads to try. I was also leaning towards the M205. The whole menzerna line-up sounds good, but too confusing. How do you choose which products without buying one of each? I was...

I'm looking at getting the 6 pack of 5.5" flat pads. Which ones are most people using? As for removing light to moderate swirls, would you go with an orange or white? I was thinking of 2-orange, 2-white, 1-black and 1-blue. I have a recently painted black collector car that has some very...
