Hey David, nice to see you again and thanks for the heads up on the paint code area....I looked for that the other day on another 430 I did.
The Menzerna deal is, in a nutshell, just as Todd stated but also that when I only sought the opinions and experiences of others regarding 106 I was basically shot down as someone with an "agenda" (
due to my relationship with Optimum, yet I have been using and endorsing Menzerna longer than most on this forum or other forums) to bad mouth Menzerna products by spreading rumors.
I brought this up over at Autogeek (
that thread I started has since been removed, not closed for future readers but literally removed. Which in itself is telling) and after some posts Mr. Silver came in and tried to correct me in my claims that 106 didn't so much fill imperfections in paint but rather swelled it. I was basically ridiculed for even suggesting that a product could temporarily swell paint by many people yet it seems more plausible now that I may have been correct. In my mind he was unsuccessful in his attempt and I feel it was not handled well on their end so I refuse to continue to support them.
I had great results with 3M which says a lot because I never really cared for their products but I am impressed with the new stuff.
Thanks again Dave.
Now.....for those wanting to try a little experiment, try this.
Take a container that can be capped, like a 32ounce container, and fill it 1/3 with 106, 1/3 with water and leave 1/3 for air. Shake the container vigorously and then strain it through a coffee filter. What do you get left behind? This can be done with many products. Share your results with the class.

You'll be fine I am sure. If working with the
udm just take your time, don't rush it. Have you ever noticed that a consistent drop of water over a period of time can chip away at solid rock and concrete? This is how I like to look at paint correction. Slow and steady as she goes mate
Love to see pictures of it when done.
