Justin,

Thanks for the bump but Al had sent me a couple of PM's about this.

I'm definitely interested in hearing your feedback on this. You planning to compare them soon?

It's a little hard to give a straight answer to that question. Presuming the Edge and LC CCS white pads are supposed to be comparable, those are the only ones I of the same grade. I also have a blue Edge and a green CCS. I did a fairly thorough polish last weekend and applied a layer of LSP, but I can still find a little micromarring in full sunlight here and there. I'm not sure I'll have another opportunity to do serious polishing for awhile as my weekends are pretty well spoken for during the rest of May and I the lighting conditions I have in the evenings aren't as favorable.

Guys, I'm obviously a bit late to comment on this, but here goes anyway. I read the thread posted by CleanYourCar over at Detailing World, and, I may be blind (

), but I don't see where he says he achieved his results with "one pass". What he does say is:

"Menzerna PO106FA is the new version of PO106FF and the wait has definitely been worth it. This polish blew me away. The old version was my favourite polish before trying this. It just seemed to have more gloss, more cut and worked for ages (emphasis mine) with next to no dust."

Sure doesn't sound like "one pass" to me!

One passes' time can vary on the product. To me and others, one pass means you put product on the pad or car and work it till its gone. Then remove. Doesn't is if the 12 minutes or 12 days. That is one pass. Not just a quick left to right movement.

Understood, Justin. I just don't see where he makes that claim (however it's defined) in his write up.

You are right....I have been doing months of research on this also and watched and asked the pros which pads they use and they all say LC or megs polish pads. LC cutting pad via pc or megs polish pad via rotory. Look at polishedbliss.uk.com, cleanyourcar, and the head users Davekg, cupraclark, wxt51, etc... Those guys get way beyond excellent results with all the menzerna polishes.

Menzerna polishes are a little finicky and with the right pad they will scream gloss. I have been playing a lot with the 106ff, 85rd, 3.01, etc... Also on the rotory anything above the polish pad is overkill.

Good post Justin...I like this one!

Exactly..I call one pass working the polish till its done working..almost cleared..I used 106Ff and had some medium marring from winter and worked it with a CCS white pad till it just about cleared and the paint was glossed to the max and marring gone...
