Menzerna Ceramiclear Polish and FMJ Full Review (finally)

I spoke to Menzerna USA a couple of weeks ago and he did not know about these polishes or other Deanski listed in another post, but spoke highly about PG, IP and FPII(MP) and there availabilty on the internet. Maybe he was just trying sell to what is readily available and not what is available by the case direct.

That is correct. PO85RD and PO106 are case quantity only and is a bit pricey. Normally they only sell to dealers/distributors and since it's not in their current business model to sell direct to a consumer, they will refer sales of the products to online dealers or other sources.

FP and FPII (Micro Polish) work very well with the right tools and technique. IP is one of my favorite swirl removers and Power Gloss is best for compounding finishes as it does not haze a finish as some other compounds/pads. PG is best used for really bad finishes, badly oxidized or marred. It removes 1000 grit sanding size marks. IP will remove 2000 grit sanding marks and FPII (Micro Polish-PO85MC) will remove 2500 grit sanding marks. FP or PO87MF does not remove any listed sanding marks. It's best as a last finishing polish to burnish a finish to a very high gloss.

PO85RD removes 3000 grit sanding marks and PO106 removes 2500 grit sanding marks. These two are made for fresh OEM-Coatings.

FP and IP is designed for Fresh Repair Coatings and Aged/Weather-Worn/Oxidized Coatings. FPII or (Micro Polish- PO85MC) is used for Fresh-OEM Coatings and Fresh Repair Coatings.

Cut levels on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being low and 5 being high.

Power Gloss= Cut 5.0 and Gloss 1.5
Intensive Polish=Cut 3.5 and Gloss 3.0
Final Polish= Cut 1.5 and Gloss 4.0
Final Polish II= Cut 2.0 and Gloss 4.0

PO85RD= Cut 1.5 and Gloss 5.0
PO106= Cut 2.5 and Gloss 5.0

I hope this may answer some questions and application.

Deanski
 
GSR, in other threads on cars that you have done you seem to be an advocate for Meg. #80, what happened have you found something better!

On properautocare.com, it says that toppers can be used, but with dulling (over FMJ). He actually used the really expensive Pinnacle Souverign or whatever Wax over the FMJ and it dulled the FMJ!!! So, do you guys think a topper (deep, wet, glossy carnauba) would be okay over FMJ? I'm thinking of going with the Menzerna line now for my Mobile Detailing Biz in Spring 2005, but I don't know what to do. They look like quality products, though. It says they're made for German cars, but can they be used just as effectively on all other makes and models/paint types?

Also, if you only used .5 oz per car (similar to Zaino), how do you know how much to put on the PC Pad?

Thanks

Can be tough to estimate for sure. I know with Klasse SG I have it in a small spray bottle and squirt a drop on a moist mf pad, I assume FMJ application would be similar. I suppose you would have to track down a 1 oz bottle, mark it on the half way point and fill it up to there and apply accordingly :dunno
