menzerna ip/fp pictures

these pictures were taken 2/3 weeks ago, but ive been really busy with school and other things... but here they are... basically these were just comparison pictures to see how good menzerna is... on both vehicles, the fenders were washed, clayed, washed, the ip, then fp, and that was it, no wax (would skew results somewhat) tell me what you think

first car: 97 grand voyager with deep/bad scratches
before pictures



after pics:




second car: 2002 altima 3.5se with severe water spots... (these things were deep!!!)

before... look @ how dull it looks...!




after... somewhat improved

you can see the line down the middle if u look closely & compare to other side

Great job, those polishes really work well with the rotary.
How did the sonus pads work with the rotary, i was interested in buying a couple.

I might have to borrow your Sonus pads

I love my LC's, but am willing to give them a try.

Don't ya love Menzerna? Work it correctly and expect amazing results.

Does that Altima belong to that kid Jason? Why doesn't he take care of it?

How is the rotary learning going?

Hi NavindraLR,

What backing plate did you use for your Makita 9227?

I hope you got it.

With Aloha,
Ranney
