I just bought some SF3500 and Powerlock. I was originally going to go with SF3800 and Powerlock, but someone recommended I go with SF3500 to get the extra bit of cutting action. Now I am wondering if I should have just stuck with SF3800. Do any of you ever go from SF3500 to Powerlock?
Can I go from Menzerna SF3500 to Powerlock?

I do either/or and you'll be fine either way. Just for giggles and snickers, do test spots with both and see if you can tell a difference between the 2 products in what you're working with. That's the best way to insure yourself which one looks better before you lay down some Powerlock.

I only bought SF3500...not SF3800...and I don't want to spend another $12 for separate shipping again....so SF3500 will have to do.

I was under the impression that
you wanted your vehicle to sparkle
like a diamond? How are you going
to perform the "jeweling step"
without Menzerna SF3800?
C'mon, what's another measly $12.00
in the grand scheme of things?

I'm sure you'll like the finish. If its any consolation, there are times when i can't tell a difference in my test spots.

I assume this is sarcasm lol
I love AG, but the shipping is not great...expensive and slow.

3500 will be fine. Use 3800 to get that last bit of shine. If you don't have it, get it next time.

SF3500 will be fine. SF3800 is only important if you're entering the Pebble Beach Concours essentially. For your every day car, it'll provide a great finish.

You'll finish with that 3500 and you will be more than happy. No worries at all, you'll be just fine without the 3800.

IMO you should be fine. You have a great combo! I use the 3800 (SF4500 before the name change) and then straight to Powerlock. Same goes with the 3500 (SF4000) to Powerlock...no issues. IMO it will look very nice!

Lenses have been corrected to where
20/8 vision is possible. (Well, actually,
it's 20/8 visual acuity.)

I agree! There are only the most subtle nuances on certain paints that 3800 refines to my eyes.

Good call..a must do.
According to Menzerna both product will provide you the gloss level at 10/10. I can see the difference between PF2400 and SF3800 but not with 3500 and 3800, and my eyes are very picky.
You make a very smart choice to get 3500, oftenly there is a time that more "cut" is need than the gloss level that even human eyes can't detect.
