Finish with 106FF or FPII?

bumoftheday · 06-01-08, 06:30

I'm going to be using SIP via DA followed by 106ff. I've heard some people say that FPII jewels up better than 106ff. This will be on a Mazda 3

I will be following with RMG and PS.

106ff or 85rd

yeah, what he said. With one exception: FPII is *phenomenal* on soft paints.

you know what, I don't think I've ever really compared it. Now I've gotta go looking for a black Porsche.. Wait, I found one! 928 S4 here I come!

Thanks for the mission, Bee.

I'll report back soon.
Seriusly though, better than 85rd on soft SS?

Yeah. FPII will finish down better than 85rd on just about any paint if you're willing to put in *alot* of time to do it. It takes multiple applications to bring it's full game to the party on hard clears. If you have the time to do it, it's really hard to beat. Don't get me wrong, I love 85rd. It's my favorite jeweling polish. But if you have soft paint or the time to put into it, you just can't beat FPII.

I'm hooked on FP II OR Zaino Z-PC diluted with Z-6 for finishing.

I'm not sure how much of the "jeweling" extra benefit will be noticeable with a PC, but for a rotary application, if you use SIP with anything stronger that a polishing pad, I think 85rd will create a nicer look than 106ff.

well i have an acura and yesterday i was polishing out my trunk and used 106FF on one side and FPII on the other side both with polishing pads at 1200rpms and the FPII finished nicer. i then went over the 106FF with the FPII and that was ultimate haha

When using 83Q-SIP do you use 106FF-NP or do you you skip over it and replace it with 85RD?
I guess I'm weird in that most of the time I'll go over the finish with both, but I will always use both when using 85U-FP.

Most of the time, I use 106 before the 85RD. The real triple-threat is 106 then 85rd then FPII. Charge *alot* for that service.

The ultimate combo!

I have grey/black, blue and red ccs pads, is there much of a difference when jeweling the finish with any of these pads?
