Menzerna FMJ:
WOAH is all I can say. This stuff is great!
Here's my thought's

Menzerna Car Care kit
PC 7336
Lots of MF towels
4 WW towels
Some QD
H2o spray
Propel pads



I washed with the menzerna auto shampoo that came in the kit. It worked pretty well, made lots of suds but didn't feel really lubricated like I prefer. I prefer the soap on the vehicle to be slick as a whale's a. I was going to follow the steps as instructed.

I was going to clay, but I had done it the last time I waxed, so I felt it was not needed.

Next I used the Final Polish II that came with it. I used a blue pad on 3.5 using the PC. I misted the pad with H20, put small streaks of FPII on the paint, then began to polish it in. It took a bit getting used to, but once I got the hang of it, applying was a piece of cake. Removing it was somewhat a pain, but not near as bad as the Meguiars #2 (Red bottle) polish. Once I got it removed, it about looked the same as it did before I started.

This process took about 1.5hr

Then I used the Mezerna Glaze. I used a grey finishing/glazing pad on 4.0 The texture was kinda waterey, but again, once I got the hang of it, the glaze was a breeze. It went on very quickly, and came off pretty easy.

Then I sprayed the truck with water, and dried it off to ensure I didnt miss any spots.

Then I broke out with the FMJ. I was looking forward to this stuff. It's a pink/light red color, smells like a light chemical. I put a bit on a MF applicator and applied by hand. It went on easy, dried fast, and my goodness it came off with little to NO effort at all. I was amazed at how easy this stuff is to work with!

By this time the sun had gotten on the west side of the house (Carport is on the east side) The sun was setting and I looked @ it and really couldn't tell I had done anything. My neighbor walked over and said it looked as if it had a plastic coating on it. Not shiney like it was with the #26. Well we pulled it out in the driveway to get in the sun and . We were both impressed. It looks great! It dosen't have that SUPER wet look like #26 has, but it seems to have more depth and shine?



Let me know what ya think

Looks great. I think the plastic coating comment describes it. How many oz's do you think you used with the FMJ? Great Job

I have to agree with Greg. it does look good. the flake in the metal in one of those pictures almost appears to be floating. kind of a 3D effect. also like the setting in the pictures. i like the chevy look. Especially in the 3/4 ton.

how long of a process would you estimate that it took to complete the whole process?

also liked the way you linked your truck to share all of your phot's. would be very interested to learn how to do that.
 
Greg - The FMJ went a long way. I maybe used 2-3oz. A small dime amount lasted nearly every panel. The hood I used 3 just to ensure even coating, and once the applicator got soaked down in the FMJ it went even further. Once I was at the end and waxed the wheel wells I didnt even have to apply any to the applicator. I just used what was left over.

cwcad- The FMJ seems to bring out the metallic like you said. It does in fact look as if it's floating. #26 didnt have this effect. Today I'm going to put another coat of FMJ on it, and then maybe top with #26 next weekend (It's a garage queen)

The entire process took me from about 10am -5pm. That includes about 20 min to apply FMJ on the door jambs, door sill, and other tight places. It also includes cleaning the wheel wells, & tires.

I use webshots for the photo's. Webshots has a program you can download to yoru computer and it makes uploading a snap!.
