Which menzerna for 06 Lexus clearcoat?

[tsantoro]

I want some suggestions as to which menz polish to use for my 06 IS250 (Matador Mica Red). It has some minor swirls and scratches. I used FPII with white Sonus SFX pad last year and was disappointed with swirl reduction after one usage. Is this a product or technique problem?

if you still have the Fpii, then get IP of SIP and use with white pad of orange pad, i am pretty sure lexus has soft paint, correct?

I did the exact same car with just an orange ccs pad and po106ff, the car was pretty bad too.

Thanks for the suggestions and yes this car has soft paint. Anyone else have thoughts on this topic?

like what others have said MZ IP on a white pad should do the trick.

If you only have minor swirls, I would not go with the IP. Lexus cc is one of the softest around, hence the easiest to correct. 106ff with a white pad should be more than enough. I never use anything stronger than Sonus SFX 2 or 106ff with a white pad on my Lexus and that always does the job. Only once did I have to use the orange pad with SFX 2 after a really bad experience with a natural sea sponge that marred the paint really bad. IP OR SIP WOULD BE OVERKILL ON A LEXUS, IMO. I know others here have used SIP and orange pad on a Lexus before, but I don`t think there is a need to go to something that abrasive on this type of car unless that paint is absolutely trashed. If 106ff with a white pad does not do the job, it might be the technique, then you would need to slow down and apply more pressure.

Thanks again everyone for your expertise and time.
