Roger that Mike.

Good stuff as always Mike, Thank you. Good to know about the Iron-X. I will definitely stay away from that especially since the clay should be able to do everything I need it to. I guess you as the detailer and the car owner have to understand expectations based on paint condition. You can only...

I've polished more clear coat cars than I can count but I've never come across a single stage yet. I might be doing a 73 Vette soon and there is a chance it's single. I understand how to check officially and know not to believe that all panels will be the same... With assuming it's all single...

Sweet! Thanks

Hey Mike, Thanks for the link. I guess something happened to my old account (New Detailer 1). I've been here for awhile, I just haven't posted in years! I've still been polishing paint on my weekends since 2010 but haven't had much experience with wheels. Hope all is well!

I just got these wheels for my 73 Mach 1 and I'm looking for something safe to use that I can clean them up with without micro marring them. I don't believe they can be polished out of they get some micro scratches. Is it possible to rub out light scratches on this lip? Again, if so what can I...

I'm a fan of that Menzerna combo but I might of missed something? Did you prep the paint with anything after the polish before going to the coating? If so, what?

Again, I want to like this product based on all the great reviews but the juice needs to be worth the squeeze. I'll give the suggested techniques a go to see if removal improves. With regards to a firm foam pad I would say the LC hydro force pad in white fits the bill. I just don't want to have...

I personally felt that the Menzerna had a little more gloss over the essence. I get that the essence has the added benefit for you if you are going to a ceramic topper. For me personally I'll take the time on the extra step of needing to wipe down the car with some coating prep after Menzerna...

Ok, I'll give that a go.

So with all the hype surrounding this product I decided to get two bottles while AG was doing their 25% off last week. I've pretty much always use menzerna products along with lake country pads. I also use optimum gloss coat as my go to ceramic coating. I'm not a fan at all of glaze and fillers...

This is a weekend only business for me so here is where I'm at. Instead a of posting a ton of different topics for each car I'll just list my photobucket. Hope this is ok? I can copy and paste all the pics but I figured this was easier. The process used for these cars were all the same. My...

Can anyone report about these who have used the old LC hydro pads? In comparison is the new Grey the old orange? Is the new Orange the old Blue in terms of aggression? Looking for information before I make a big purchase. I use to only use the old hybrid pads and want more info before moving...

Looks like I'm going to have to buy a couple different products to play with. Menzerna fills most of my regular ( non coating) detailing needs but it would appear there are easier options with regards to polishing for coating.

I'm very interested to try this based on it's description but can anyone attest to it's actual use gloss?

That was going to be the next question...if there is a finishing polish that's on par with Menzerna that has less oils in it? I agree that the SF has a lot of oils but it produces such a nice gloss.

Sounds good guys, I'll start using less product and do a 2nd prep wipe down and see how it goes. Thanks again!

I pretty much exclusively use Menzerna products to compound, polish and seal along with LC hybrid pads. I really haven't come across anything I couldn't correct with my Flex 3401 and some combination of the above. Many have been able to use the PG400 and go right to a LSP but I just can't do...

Not sure if I can walk away from the Menzerna SF 4500 for my follow up after a compound. I know we are supposed to be flexible with our products but I've got such a comfortable (working) system with the Menzerna line. I'm also ok with Megs 101 and 205. So in addition to using less product who...

Where can I get more of the applicators that come with the product? I might give the blue foam pad a go again or just apply far less than what I am now on those suede squares. It's a shame because I like the control with those.
