Somewhere I have a link to a post on detailingworld where Dave KG was able to finish Menz PG down to an LSP ready finish. That's how good Dave and MPG are. 
Medium correction: LC purple foamed wool with SIP. SIP can be a bit tricky sometimes, but adding a few drops of PO106FF will make it play nicely. SIP does play nicer with the green and blue LC pads than the purple foamed wool. You'll get better correction with the purple foamed, but if you don't need the extra cut, the green or blue edge is definitely easier to use with SIP than the purple foamed. Make sure you spur the pad after every application of SIP.
Finishing: Depends on the clear coat hardness. Really hard clears finish down *very* nicely with the white wool and PO106FF. Medium clears finish nicely with the white wool and regular old FPII. Soft clears, you pretty much have to finish with a foam finishing pad, wool just won't leave a satisfactory look. Generally, you can improve the look after using wool to finish with a really fine finishing polish (like PO85RD) and a foam finishing pad, but so far it's been a mixed bag for me; some cars it makes a tremendous difference on, some I wish I hadn't wasted the time doing another step after the white wool. |
Thanks Bee. Right now I've still got
Menzerna IP and FP from ~2003 era. I'm going to use these up first. Though I need something for some heavier scratches, since it seems IP is good for 2000 grit. I'll see about picking up some Prima 1500 locally if I can.
Anything worse then 1500 grit is going to have to wait.
As for foam I have Yellow/Orange/White/Black 2003 era foam. CMA velcro backing logos on them. I'm not sure who made the pads back then. The Menz polishes always worked pretty dang well with the foam I have.. just looking to improve.
