If I have FPII should I bother getting 106ff? Usually FPII is enough for me to cut most of the light swirling and imperfections that my black car acquires, but I wish it just had a bit more cut from time to time. I`m not clear on whether or not 106ff has more cut than FPII or not.
I have a few details coming up on news cars and a few on new paint, this type of polish is usually all they need.
Basically I`m looking for something with a bit more cut than, but finishes as nice (or nicer) as, FPII.

I have FPII and bought the 106ff and I`m really glad I did. I was blown away with how well it corrected the paint.
In fact, I was more impresssed by the performance of 106ff relative to FPII than by the improvements of SIP over IP (i.e., i bought SIP too).
I also feel like 106ff is more versatile in that you can use it with an orange pad and do some pretty good correction or go with the white for a final polish. I wouldn`t do the same with the FPII.
One other differenced I noticed is that the 106ff seems to have more lubricants or something in it compared to FPII. The product is easy to work for a while and leaves a very slick finish when done. It is the best polish I`ve tried.

I like P085RD... I know there are a number of people who would disagree, but I *swear* it finishes down better than 106FF.

106ff has more bite than FPII right?
just got some 106ff and it looks exactly like FPII (purple), just has a little more grainy compound stuff in it.
can 106ff really finish down lsp ready?
I recently did a back to back test FPII vs 106FF....the 106FF is a much better product!!

For sure, on black I am LSP even with an orange pad and 106ff

IIRC (where`s that menzerna chart I have saved...) Officially, 106FF has a slightly lower cut rating, but a higher gloss rating...but I think the harder abrasives in 106FF make it pretty close in cut.
For lighter colors that aren`t scratch resistant, I`m not sure the price premium would be warranted

How so? More cut, more gloss? Both... would be nice. :)

106FF?? FPII??? SIP???
You folks use way too many acronyms for someone who is new to detailing. I have no idea what you are talking about. :think:
(Actually I have been detailing my own cars for over forty years. This is just forum that I have found on the subject.)
Newb question here. Both are Menzerna products correct?

I feel your pain gfspencer. I am new to detailing (didn`t know what clay was 2 months ago) and I have trouble also keeping up with the acronyms. Especially when they are not on the Secret Decoder Ring thread.
Since I am considering polishing my car for the first time, Menzerna is a brand I am interested in learning about, specifically the differences between their products and which to use when.
