I can barely wash my truck, let alone wax it :D, friggen restrictions. I can wash at our office parking garage, but its a pain carrying all the stuff back. Seriously...next time it storms, I'm gonna be out there washing LOL

Lend me your gold chain so I can pawn it for some Nattys Red :D

Surfer, you gotta get some of that Narry's Red. You will love it if you like strawberries, it smells just like them.
 
Also, menzerna, way way over hyped. It works ok, but it has a ridiculously
short working time.

You're not serious, are you?
Not knowing exactly what Menz products you've tried, I can't really see where you're coming from
What I can tell you is that I have experienced the opposite from what you've seen. I find the working time to be one of its best traits. I love it
This is what I currently own from the Menz line:

-PO85RD
-PO85RD3.00
-PO85RD3.02
-PO106FF

All those products above I bought them from Europe. I'm not sure if what we get here are the same product, but I'm thinking they all should be. In any event, menz goes a long way for me

Menzerna is not overhyped, even in the least! Simply the nicest line of polishes that I've used to date. Working time is quite long, not sure where you're pulling that from. Maybe I can see it on a hot surface or in full sun, but it is not intended for those applications. The only product I know with as long or longer working time is Optimum.

With menzerna IP in cool conditions(67F) on a cool surface, I usually have a window of about 15 seconds, maybe 20 seconds. Around that time it starts to dry and dust like crazy.

No, i gotta agree with Z06-Goose and trlblazer3 and the others - there is plenty of work time and it is a superior product.

I dont know about you guys but 15-20 seconds is not what i call plenty of working time.
 
none of us experience such little working time, its something related to your environment, tools, or use Im afraid. While Menzerna doesnt last as long as Optimum, it certainly doesnt flash anywhere near the 2-3 minute mark.
 
My Menzerna working time is MUCH MUCH longer than 1 min.... Something is going on Joy!

I did a full detail on black '04 BMW 325Ci, used PO106FF/Clearkote RMG mix 70/30. My working time was 8 minutes, before it started dusting. Haven't used PO106FF on it's own yet, but I really doubt that Nano, or other Menzerna polishes have a working time less then 1 minute before starting to dust. Perhaps RMG can be added to SIP, maybe 80/20 SIP/RMG mixture. Oils in RMG really exted your working time. Give it a try.

I dont know, maybe there is something wrong with my batch. I have tried other polishes and by far IP seems to dry faster than alcohol. I wish I could get these polishes to work for me, i have tried to annalize my process, but i cant seem to find out whats worng.
 
Menzerna polishes are developed for a climate controlled environment.

Anything below 15°C or over 30°C (humidity adjusts this frame) the compounds can suddenly decide to play b!tchy. This is when the polishes flash almost immediately, dust up like mad, throwing the machine around, screech under the pad, and generally horrible - even on a decontaminated surface.

When they perform, they are perfect, but they can be furiously sensitive to certain conditions.
 
Nice thread to read.........now wouldn't it be funny to find out that some products listed in the "over hyped" category are some of the same products in the "under hyped" category just under a different name??:D:p

Sorry.......just my opinion.

I've used it and for the money, there are a lot more products out there that compare.

Then again, you have your opinion and I'm glad you do.
