Re: Menzerna SIP and 106FF = Holy Grail!

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

Re: Menzerna SIP and 106FF = Holy Grail!

Good thread.

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!!

Re: Menzerna SIP and 106FF = Holy Grail!

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.

Re: Menzerna SIP and 106FF = Holy Grail!

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.

When you look at the difference in cost between Souveran and Z5, I will take Z5 all day long, I don't care what color it is. Z5 lasts and Souveran won't.

Thats a good point, I've never found souveran to last that long

So after my Menzerna process what Zaino products would you use? Just top with Z5 and then possibly Z8?


And do I need a sealant or will the Zaino do the trick?
