Mike,

I'm interested in hearing your advise on the best 2-Step Paint Polishing system out of the Menzerna line.

The reason I am most interested in Menzerna, is (A) they make your polish (so it must be good) and (B) the specific "milling" of the abrasives.

I'm starting a detailing business, and am interested in providing my clients with a level of service not commonly associated with your everyday (production work) detailer.

I am learning quickly that I need experience to really be a show car detailer, but I want to be a step above the normal, Meguiars, Mothers style detail.

I am purchasing a Flex 3401, so with that in mind, what Menzerna products can I use to give the best results without charging show car detail prices - i.e. I want to be in the $99 - $149 per vehicle range.

Thanks,

I would make it at least a 3 step - Super Intensive Polish, Super Finish "Nano" and a good Wax. I would recommend using the Wolfgang Fuzion Estate Wax or the Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax. I would at least charge $250.00 + for paint correction using Menzerna products and a high end Wax.

Think I may have been unclear. I wasn't including wax step, cause I was planning on doing that anyway. I was more interested in the polish end of things.

Thanks for the recommendations!

By the way, what's your thoughts on "Nano" followed by PO 85???
 
In my opinion, I would recommend Menzerna Power Finish aka PO 203. I and I believe I've heard others on this forum think its a really good product. Its one product that has medium cutting abilities but finishes almost like nano. So you basically have a product that can polish and jewels all in one. I've used it and can't get enough.

Power Finish followed by the 85RD ....... beautiful results EVERYTIME. These are my favorite polishes for nearly all of my client's rides.
 
Curious, what is the biggest (visible) difference between Power Finish and Nano, assuming that you would follow them with 85 RD and a quality wax???

Visibly deeper gloss with the PF. It cuts & jewels within one step. The 85RD would be best to follow the PF on the darker colors depending on how severe the paint correction was.

PF basically works as a 2 stage process in 1 stage. So the level of clarity could be compared to a finish that had received 2 polish stages.
 
Appreciate it. That is exactly the answer I was looking for. Think I will go ahead and buy them both and see. I have a White, 2004 Toyota Sequoia, which may only need the Power Finish - I'll probably use both though, just cause I'm anal:)

Thanks again

Before & After shots!!

Anytime ....... :dblthumb2:
 
Also, if you use a light green lake country pad (polishing/finishing pad) this will help the powerfinish jewel the paint even nicer. Power Finish by Menzerna is really a spectacular product. And i don't mean that lighty :) Good luck with everything and show us some before and afters, i would love to see them!

Its snowing here in Atlanta (global warming i guess:)), so it may be a week or two before I do the before and afters, but definately will post!!

Thanks for all the advise - feel free to add to it!!
 
I figured! :) I think you guys are getting all the snow we are missing up here in Montreal. Regardless, be safe and take care.
 
LOL... No no.. i wasn't complaining. Just wondering which parts of the US got most of it. :)
 
It's all rain here, but beginning today we have sunshine for the next 10 days & low 60s for temps!!!!

Woohoo!
 
+1 on the Power finish. This is almost the only polish I am using these days. Great cut with a cutting/wool pad and great finish with a finishing pad. Use it with a medium foam pad( like green LC/yellow meguiars)and then seal the paint a perfect one stepper polish.

You could always follow it up with a finer polish like PO85RD, but you will only see a slighty better gloss. And I promise 95% of the customers cant see a difference. So why spend more time then necessary? Wich means more time to polish more cars = more money to you.

Good luck!
 
What's the best all around pad(color) to use with power finish? I'm assuming power finish will leave less micro marring compared to SIP?

So when you say you use cutting and finishing pads, do you break it down once with the cutting then re-apply more product and break down with the other pad?

I thought the same thing. However, IMO, that would be pointless. If you're going to re-apply, use a finer polish.

Usually a single stage polishing with the PF will be enough for just about any car. The darker colored cars are where the 85RD will almost always be warranted to get the "POP" out of the color that much more.
