Brilliant discussion!!!! I've been waiting for this for some time. :bigups
Tod, I have to agree with your logic and conclusions - they reflect MY experiences with Menzerna CC polishes.
Deanski, please don't take this as a snub to you. I really respect your thoughts and experiences in this thread. In fact I agree with
much of what you say.
I guess I agree with both sides of this excellent discussion. To me THIS is the
definitive Menzerna CC polish discussion on Autopia thus far. :thx
It should be made a 'sticky'.
For
me, the bottom line is this. In summary: No Menzerna polishes contain fillers per se. The CC polishes contain lubricating oils that are
not meant to fill and
don't when used on CC paint with the proper technique.
Most (~80%) of us use them on non-CC paint which causes
unintended results. Namely, the polish doesn't break down properly leaving (due to soft paint/insufficient work time) the lubricating oils behind that
conceal the true result.
So I would modify the question from "does Menzerna CC polishes contain fillers" - which answer is 'no' - to "can Menzerna CC polishes conceal when not used properly" - which answer is 'yes'.
The solution: use Menzerna CC polishes as
intended and you'll have no problems. :hifive:
P.S. To the poster who asked about 85RD. The above comments apply to ALL Ceramiclear polishes. That includes PO85RD 3+, PO106FF, PO85RE5 and
PO85RD.
