    First QEW Experience

    I bought some QEW today and decided to give it a try. My first mistake was picking the biggest, blackest thing I could find to try it on, the Hummer. It was extremely dirty from the recent snow, so I ran it down to the coin-op for a pre-soak and high pressure rinse. After I got home, I...

    Menzerna IP Question

    I've used IP for a long time now, but never used it with a polishing pad and without following with FP. Always used IP with and orange pad followed by FP with a white pad. How many of you use Menzerna IP with a polishing pad on the PC? How is this for a one step? Any comparison to 1Z PP?
