Hey DC... Here is my 4th of July project. menzerna IP with orange pad, FP with white pad, PWC with white pad, EX by hand. I've been using Vanilla Moose and Carnuba Moose, but out here in the desert the sun is brutal on carnuba. I think it came out awsome. I have to start taking some before shots, the truck was in pretty good shape with some swirling. The bed cover was horrendous though, buffer swirls installed by the manufacturer.

I forgot how nice the PWC/EX combo looks. Deep and wet like a carnuba with a little added protection. The Menz. twins did a number on the swirls. Anyway here's some pics:

Hi 04lariat,

Not bad for a newbie. :D

j/k...Looks great! The truck is shimmering. Nice work.

Are you still missing Hawaii. :lmfao

With Aloha,
Ranney :)
 
I used IP/FP on a car over the weekend. I loved how it turned out the the dust is horrible. Did you notice that or is it just me?

Yes, the dust did get pretty bad, I tried to keep the pad really moist and worked it till it was almost gone. It turned out great, but I'm gonna try SSR2.5 next time.

I'm not sure you'd want to go that agressive if you intend to maintain it. You could just get away with SSR1 a couple times a year and at most SSR2. If you only do it once a year then you may want to use SSR2.5. SSR2 dusts also but no where near as bad as Menzerna. SSR's are on par or IMO better than Menzerna. Results are similar but SSR's are way easier to use.
