    I just tried Menzerna Intensive Polish and Final Polish....WOW!!!

    I wish I tried Menzerna products sooner! With my PC, the Intensive Polish took out some defects that SSRs, Megs 80 and Optimum could not take care of! I did one panel at a time with the IP and an orange pad, then I switched to a white pad and used the Final Polish....one panel at a time...

    Whats the word on XMT-180?

    I ordered some Menzerna IP an FP....so I was looking for a nice topper. I decided on the XMT-180. I picked it because it said "high gloss". I know everything is high gloss, but from my experiences, caranuba waxes are better for white cars. What is the "autopian" general consensus?

    The Cobra is the cleanest/best looking it has EVER been!

    On the paint I used Megs #83 DACP and then Clearkote Vanilla Moose....then I topped it with Poorboys EX-P. On the motor, I used Poorboys bold and bright. I went to Home Depot and bought like 5 different sized foam brushes and went to town for about an hour.
