Re: Menzerna Polishes

So let the machine do the work opposed to the pc7424 where you have to apply pressure for it to correct anything.

Re: Menzerna Polishes

Try to do things that way and take it easy when you end up applying the pressure anyhow

Re: Menzerna Polishes

Could 203 be followed up with 106FA on, say, a blue pad?

I already have some 106FA and ordered 203. Also, anyone try 203 on an orange pad or is that too agressive?

Yes, you can follow with PO106FA after PO203S. But I have another trick: when the polish started to break down, switch to a softer pad and finish. This gives a good gloss and you save a step.


PO203S works fine with a orange pad. To aggresive? It depends what you kind of defects you want to remove.

That method works well with a number of pad/product combos and it seldom gets much attention these days. Good on you for mentioning it

I've been looking forward to trying that via Cyclo with the orange/green-combination Edge pads.

Re: Menzerna Polishes

Excellent. Thanks guys. I'll try that method first (maybe try both for comparision's sake.)

I'll use a green pad first. If that doesn't cut it (ignore the pun), I'll try orange then finish with blue.

Maybe you, ebpcivicsi, and I are the only people who do it

Similarly, switching from rotary to Cyclo post-initial-breakdown has worked well for me too.
