Menzerna SIP and 106FF = Holy Grail!

Is Sip the medium abrasive polish and 106FA (name changed recently) the finising polish?



Where would P085RD's fit in with these 2 polishes?

SIP is a medium polish with a respectable amount of cut. 106 is a finishing polish with light cut. PO85RD is an even finer finishing polish than 106 with very very light cut. Just enough the burnish the paint, not enough to correct paint though.
 
From the perspective of a Flex user...



I used Menz PG for a while, but couldn't take the heavy dusting. Further I didn't see any more cutting ability than SIP had.



I dislike using any Menz product with PFW. Gums up the wool and creates a mess.



I use Meg 105 instead with wool and for heavy cut applications.



Mez PG is no longer of much use to me at all.



SIP is a staple for cutting hard paints with anything but wool.





So in summary (at this time)...



Megs 105 and PFW for heavy cutting on both hard or soft paint.



For med to light cut SIP on hard paint with orange/white foam. Finishing with Menz 106FF.



For med cut M105 and an orange pad. Light cut to finish with 3M Ultrafina SE with a white pad.



Still tweaking jeweling, but seem to be having good results with red pads using FF or UF SE.
 
Same brand but used P0203S followed by P085RD with Astounding results! Did 2 passes on 4" LC green with P0203S and 1 pass with P085RD on 4" LC blue and it's a brand new car. Anyhow, what speed do you guys use on the PC with P085RD?
 
Guys,



Can SIP be used on reguar clear coats as well? I'm a bit unaware of the "scratch resistant coatings" phrase on the SIP description.



I have soft Toyota paint (Black).



I'm really contemplating over Menzerna Power Finish, however I've only seen one thread on autopia regarding it.

I would go for PO203S instead of SIP. Great gloss and only a little less cut.



PO203S is a killer polish :woot2:
 
I second the PO203S .... Finishes out much better.....Then PO85RD awesome !!!

Wow, that's sounds great guys. I already have some P085RD so I'll just order some P0203S.



IS Menz Power Finish Pad dependant? Can I get away with an orange pad for heavier defects with Menz PF?



I'll be using a my flex DA.



Thanx Porta/MDRX8.

Yes. I am using it with foamed wool, orange, green and black foam - all Lake country colour codes.
 
Great info! Now I keep reading that its pretty good on hard clears but anybody knows how it does on soft paint? I have a single stage paint job on my car and am looking to correct some minor swirls and scratches. Should I use this SIP and 106FF combo or go less aggressive and use something like:PO85U Final finish plus PO85RD?

Thx

Good thread.

Yes, special thanks to the OP! :D



I used to be a dedicated SIP/106/85 user.



Once I tried the Megs 105 / 205 combo, I havent looked back.



I might pick the Menz bottles up again for a good comparison.

I don't care for the Megs 105. I have found it to be far too difficult to work with.

+1...Although it does cut well, I can't seem to get the right technique for the 105. I have some PO203S and 106FA coming. Hoping I can get a good amount of cut with the PO203S with LC PFW or orange.



Great thread!!
 
I detailed a dark green Denali that had a lot of swirls using the m105. The final results were great, but getting there was a huge PITA.
 
Now what to top the combo of SIP/PO106FF/PO85RD with?



Thinking Jetseal 109 and then Pinnacle Souveran as LSP or what about Zaino Z5 possibly on top.



Thoughts????

I should clarify that I definitely liked the results that I got with the 105. It was the lack of working time and how quickly it flashed that I didn't care for.
