Very nice. How do you like Menzerna`s shampoo compared to others?

I like it. I haven`t been displeased with it at all. For dirtier cars I`ll use Meg`s Hyper Wash. Menzerna`s car wash is very gentle.

very noticable difference, and great job! :2thumbs:

Looks great!



I read it over a few times and could not figure out if you used a PC or rotary?

I`m going to have to say Rotary becuase that`s a very mild polish and those looked like some pretty nasty swirls. B-E-A-utiful work.

Well.. believe it or not... PC :) Sorry I guess I left that out of the description. :grinno: But that`s the beauty of PO106FF... has some cut to it to remove defects.

Damm!!!! How long did you work it? With a polishing pad that is really good.

Nice work..the reflections are outstanding.... :clap:

Big improvement, the paint looks deep and black.



*cough* wheel wells *cough*

Lexus black is single stage and I`ve found it easier to work than most two stage paints.

I noticed the same thing... :2thumbs:



Car looks great though, a drastic improvement. :spot

Great Work, I too would like to know the time it took and process to remove such swirls with the PC! Also did the Menzerna PO-106 haze at all? What speed, and work in time per panel? I would just love to do the same!

Thanks for the comments guys.... yea... I ran out of Hyper Dressing... so couldn`t get the wheel wells done. :) You know... most ppl don`t notice haha. But yea my bad on that.



As for the working time... the same amount of time I would use normally. 2x2 or 2x3 area... up and down passes w/ 50% overlap, the left to right, up and down again, then left to right again. That`s it. Speed 5 on the PC, moderate pressure and letting up on the subsequent overlaps. Time per panel... a minute or so.



No haze... PO106FF has never hazed and has the glossiest finish of any polish I`ve ever used.

Frizzlefry, how are the residues to buff off? Are they easy or do you use a QD to remove? ALso does the Menzerna Gum up the pad or dust, just curious, and how aggressive is it , would you use on most swirls or just the light ones?
