    19 GTI- want a quick paint touch up (have all MENZ polishes)

    Hey guys- Not a newbie to polishing or detailing here but would like some advice! I have all the Menz polishes and was looking at deconing and claying sometime this week. I also feel after I decon and clay; I should also polish. (would prefer not to trust me) I’m wondering which of the...

    Ceramic coat maintenance

    Are soaps such as Car Pro Reset genuinely needed in order to maintain coatings? I ask because I often question the credibility of many detailing companies. Seems like you can get products that will maintain the stitches on your leather seats, and then a different product for the passenger seat...

    Sonax Polymer vs Carnuba Waxes(single stg paint)

    I just don’t get what I’m doing wrong here- I can’t work with this single stage paint to get all the defects out of it if my life depends on it. Here is a final pass with Menz 3500 and a Cyan pad. No pressure. Brand new clean pad. Speeds 1-2. Super slow hand speed. And I took my sweet time...

    Sonax Polymer vs Carnuba Waxes(single stg paint)

    Have a Mustang that is black and still wearing its original single stage factory paint. I have P21S,Souveran and my newly acquired Sonax Polymer Net Shield so I’m not sure if I should use a combo of both or stick to one. Car doesn’t see any weather unless it’s sun. And driven on Sundays...
