Those experienced with Menzerna Power Finish, question...

I've used Menz for sometime now. For me 6 passes works best ( using the Flex DA). Kronos pics are spot on to what it should look like after.
 
Good dialog... I'm pretty new to the Menz line, and this past weekend applied PO83Q and PO106FA with a DA. Have no idea how many passes I made; I would bet between 6 and 10 each time. The results are great.

Anyway, in trying to determine when the polish had 'dried', I kept using my finger to see whether the polish would still smear. I tended to think if it would smear it was not dry, but the polish never seemed to really not smear even when I'm sure I had completed breaking down the polish. Is that what you guys experience, too?

A few times it would dust, but only near corners or edges I was polishing.

The pics that kronos posted does seem pretty similiar to what I was seeing, too.

Edited: Oh, and it was always a pain in the azz to wipe off the polish afterwards. Is that an indication I did not work it dry enough? Or is that just something to deal with?

its likely an indication that you worked it too much imo. A damp MF towel always helps as well. you want to be careful not to scratch the car with toweling marks. Since Menz is waterbased, I always figured a damp towel works best to remove it (although that works with any product. lol)

Thanks for the note. I did spray with a iso/h2o mix and wipe at times, except when using the glaze.

I kinda expected I may have been working it too much. Will try the damp MF, and some of the suggestions in these posts about # of passes, etc.

Good stuff !
