    Meguiar's microfiber cutting pads

    Hi, so Menzerna 400 would work great with Meguiar's MF Cutting pads? I'm looking to buy a compound for Megs MF pads, I can buy Menzerna 400 1liter or D300 500ml for the same price.

    Have a problem with a RUPES polisher or product?

    Thank you a lot! I can't get Zephir Compound in 250ml, I have some Quarz Compound, will try it on the blue foam. BTW, I'm in love with yellow foam pads, finishes really well, looks very durable to me.

    Have a problem with a RUPES polisher or product?

    The pad is ruined? Used it for a few days, I have five blue foam pads and this one looks not healthy, other 4 just lost roughness and they are softer comparing to a brand new pad. Is it normal? Was using Menzerna HC400, cleaning during polishing with Claw tool, maybe should I use "clean of the...

    Rupes Blue Foam, not cutting?

    FG400 and HC400 - same compound. I'm using this combo 3 days in a row, pads looks fine to me. I will try FG400 with the Rupes Yellow foam, I heard great feedback about this combo for one step polishing.

    Rupes Blue Foam, not cutting?

    Yes it looks good to me too haha, that scratch was on the corrected side too, blue foam + hc400 removed it. Its all about the heat I guess, I'm not getting results like that in the shade.

    Do I need to wash my car after I use detailing clay to clay the paint?

    Got a reply from CarPro. So everything is fine! I can use it as clay lube and rinseless wash before polishing.

    Do I need to wash my car after I use detailing clay to clay the paint?

    Thats bad, cause I was going to use ECH2O 1:40 as lubrication to clay. It should leave SiO2 on the car, and if Eraser will not clean that - not good.

    Do I need to wash my car after I use detailing clay to clay the paint?

    Hello, can I use rinseless wash (CarPro ECH2O 1:200) before polishing? I will clay the car using CarPro ECH2O 1:40, ech2o does have SiO2, I will clean the car with CarPro Eraser after washing/claying it. It is okay?

    Rupes LHR15 Mark II, for cutting?

    Thank you for replying, I never tried Rupes Blue Compound, there is no 250ml bottles for sale. OK, so I will use Menzerna HC400 compound, most cars will be Germany, can't decide which pads to buy. Rupes Blue Foam Meguiar's Microfiber DA Cutting Pad. Foam should be more user friendly I guess...
