I regularly use SIP, 106FA and 85rd from their product line. I get excellent results when paired with a flex 3401 and even on a pc. Great polishes IMO |

What is it comparable to in the Menzerna line? Did it replace one of their other products? |

Not a replacement, but itīs have the "new" name - Powergloss 
Itīs like a updated Powergloss. More cut, easier to handle, less dust and more gloss. |

Rob, everyone has a gas station, grocery store, or retail outlet they wont shop at for various reasons, don they? LOL
I just wont ever use Menzerna, not even for free. I would really like to try the Megs 105/205 though. Megs sure does get a lot of attention these days.

Well, at least most.... 
As much as I love Meg's 105/205 combo, when it comes to putting the absolute finest gloss you can get on a car, it is as Rydawg says... can't beat Menzerna.
Some of their products can be a PITA to use sometimes, but the results justify the work.
I thought I was getting cars pretty shiny til I looked at some of the 'dawg's work, and he gave me some polishing pointers (I was already using Menz polishes). I was stunned at how much better the gloss got. Rydawg is capable of getting finishes so glossy with Menz polishes that even the best of glazes would add nothing to the gloss.
If you are serious about getting the absolute best gloss you can, invest in some FPII and PO85RD. Then practice, practice, practice. Also read up on the techniques (WHICH ARE ALREADY POSTED HERE... please don't PM me.. I'm swamped right now with PM's  ) for using them properly. You won't be disappointed.
Edit: I do feel as Patrick does re: the way certain, um, "things" were handled by Menz, but unfortunately I find myself in the position of lining the pockets of the enemy; I just haven't been able to find replacements for Menz's finishing polishes...medium polishes and compounds, yes, but not finishing polishes. Although UF does come close, and it's easy to use.
As for the concealing... a QD of Hi-Temp Prep Wash followed by QD IPA removes *all* traces of Menz residues/oils/concealers/whatever you want to call it.

Re: Poll - Have you ever tried Menzerna Polishes - Yes or No?
I've used 106FA on my first detail and it really added great gloss. It didn't hide the swirls I thought it would but the pop if gave off was great!
Now, I bought some PO203 Power Finish. Suppose to cut like SIP AND finish off great. Since my car is black, I'm going to follow up 203 on green light cutting pad with a blue polishing pad.
If only the weather would give me a nice weekend.....

Sounds like a plan, check out this car I did with PO203S.

Re: Poll - Have you ever tried Menzerna Polishes - Yes or No?
After being a Megs guy for a while, it always seemed to leave me with desiring something more. I thus purchased SIP, 106FA, and 85RD and I must say I am sold on Menz! I will admit, I have heard good things about the M105/205 combo and would like to give them a try, though.

Re: Poll - Have you ever tried Menzerna Polishes - Yes or No?
Megs 105 is the only compound you will ever need!!!
But Menz SIP, IP and 106FF are hands down the best polishes out there. SIP can correct and leave a great finish. I have tried almost every polish on the market and they all have flows to them. I can always count on Menz to give me a flawless finish. Plus you have to use so little of it.
The price is the only sticky point for me.
