I`m thinking of trying Menzerna now that AG is carrying it. What can you guys suggest for a good cutting compound/polish as well as a finishing polish? I have the old version of OHC and it is just not cutting it for me. I`ve tried it on a LC orange and yellow pads, and it takes at least two applications to make a dent in the swirls. And even then, I`m still left with quite a bit of light scratches. The car that is giving me the most grief is my black 2003 Bonneville. I don`t know if the intensive polish will do the job, or if I would need to get the power gloss? I just want something that will cut down on the amount of time I need to spend. Oh, and this will be done with a PC, and I have LC black, white, orange and yellow pads, as well as one of Danase`s orange 5.25" CCS pads. Maybe I`m out of luck since I`m limited to the PC, so let me know if you don`t think Menzerna will even make much difference.
I also want to try a finishing polish, something that will work well with any domestic finishes since we have a variety. So please suggest which of the finishing polishes would be the best to try.

Menzerna will make a difference.
Get the Super IP po83
106ff
This combo will correct 95% of the vehicles.

d@mn, I just ordered this kit:
16 oz. Auto Shampoo
16 oz. Final Polish II
16 oz. Finishing Touch Glaze
16 oz. Full Metal Jacket (FMJ)
I guess I got the wrong stuff? Does anything above compare to what you guys are referring to? Super IP po83 106ff? Or do i have to get that stuff as well?

Rawdawg is correct....the 2 best offerings are
PO83Q...super intensive polish
1066FF very pad dependent and does alot..
and po87MC if you want a good lite polish...

Thanks for the suggestions. So Ryan, having worked on that Bonneville, the SIP you think will be enough cut with a PC, where I wouldn`t need the PG?

Grimm, using a PC, i got almost as good of cutting with the SIP as I did with PG, with a huge difference... the SIP didn`t haze and swirl as bad as the PG did.

What makes you say that P087MC is lighter than P0106FF? AG`s website lists both of them as capable of removing 2500 grit scratches. That would lead me to believe that P0106FF is a CeramiClear version of P087MC.

Thats correct. FP 1 PO87MF or MC won`t give the same quality as FF

SIP is the way to go. The regular IP is just way to dusty and just messy, but does ok mixed with 106ff.
I guess the PC will be your limits to how much correction is possible.
For pads on pc, use the yellow LC if need be. I love that pad for pc.
