Detailer's Domain: Impreza /Menzerna PO203S (50 +)

Got this Subie in that honestly I really didn't expect in this condition.

Swirls galore, scratches everywhere, buffer trails, burn marks you name it you got it.

So I decided to take a chance and really see what Menzerna PO203S can do. Well you can be the judge.

Customer was happy with the results.

Last step Einszett Glanz.

Products used:
Adam's Car wash
Swissvax Yellow Clay Bar with Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer
Menzerna PO203
Menzerna Top Inspection
Einszett Glanz Wax

Wheels and Tires

Swissvax Pneu
P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
Boar’s Hair Wheel Brush
Swissvax Wheel Brush
The Spoke Brush
Foam applicator pads
Swissvax Quick Finish

Trim:
Adam's In and Out

Glass inside and out:
Adam's Glass Cleaner
Uber Glass MF Towels

Tools:
Infratech 5300
Makita 9227 Hi Speed Rotary
LC Flat White 5 inch pad

Menzerna PO203S was used on all the panels I tried to just use 2 pads for this detail Green and White for finishing.

the 50/50 shots were great. How many passes did you have to go through to achieve that 50/50 shot? I just bought the 106FA so Bleh... 106FA white pad vs. 203S white pad... who wins in terms of cut and finish?

I think I got about 70-80% out.

I don't think I got a shot of it though I have to go see.

Sam,

in terms of cut the po203 will win but I believe 106 and 85rd will finish out better.

That is some nice work right there!

PO203 looks like a good product for 1 steps...what are your thoughts Phil?

Re: Detailer's Domain: Impreza /Menzerna PO203S (50 +)

I would have to agree its a great one step.

I'm still up in the air about doing harder finishes with this product but I got unbelievable results from this detail.
