Welcome to autogeek...you got a nice set of paint works, and or gear too thought with your current gear you could do a couple of test spots with your orange pad and Orange Light Cutting Pad with your polishes you have on hand, though that Porsche is flawless therefore I would suggest doing a one step with your Menzerna Intensive Polish with a lesser cutting pad like white or green but test spot will confirm what works best, also don't forget the clay bar
 
I don't know nothin' bout that V36, but I'd give the Intensive Polish a whack with the orange Hydro-Tech pad.

Just so you know the IP is kind of the old school Menz, SIP (SI1500) or Power Finish (PF2500) would the newer ones in that ballpark.
 
Hello nice PORSCHE, I was thinking of moving to ATLANTA once was going to try and find a small shop to detail out of part time,If I could have transferred with my job may still come down to look and visit family in ATLANTA & RIVERDALE
 
Hi Joe, welcome to AGO from Germany! Beautiful Porsche you have there.

Your product list looks pretty good. How many each of the Hydro tech pads do you have? You should have 3 each minimum. 4-6 is preferred.

As for polish, the Menzerna is a bit old technology. CG polish, meh. I would pick up the Wolfgang line up of polish found here in Mike Phillips article. This will get you off on the right foot. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-expert-featuring-mike-phillips/74198-wolfgang-four.html
 
Welcome to AG. In your instance, you could go down and check out Jean Claude at Detail Designs Auto Spa. He may be able to walk you thru taking care of your vehicles.
