I have and I was not completly satisfied. Had this wierd spitting action and not much of a cut also, Took a while to get a gloss, but it did it. Just had a weird learning curve. 106ff blows it away. Save your money. I still have almost a full bottle.

I have been in contact with Menzerna Germany and couple of months ago and asked about this and they told me

"PO106FA (less dust during application) is an improved version of our PO106FF."

I agree mate, this is the only thing I noted, but the finish is the same, perfect.

I notice earlier comments in this thread about IP and FPII being only for hardened clearcoat. I am planning to use them as prep for single stage paint followed by Zaino system. Are there any concerns with using IP and FPII on single-stage paint?

They are not only meant for hardened clears, they also work really on normal clears. I`ve heard however, that the single stage paints need more "oily" polishes/glazes to do better correction. Most everyone here will agree that Meg`s 83/80 work well on a single stage paint.

I`d not use the Menzerna on a single stage paint. You might try Clearkote compound and vanilla moose as well.

Agree on both points. #83/80 is a killer combo on single stage and Vanilla Moose eats oxidation.

Who do you think I learned it from? :woot:

IP and FPII works great on single stage paints.

I`m glad I asked. There seem to be varying opinions -- I would like to get additional feedback on this. Thanks for your help!

My sister is visiting from the UK and brought me a 1 liter bottle of po85rd from the great guys at http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk. I really can`t wait to try this thing out after all the stuff I have read on this thread and others

Now maybe I can find some RMG to do a little mixing hee hee

MENZERNA RULES! I have the Optimum and Menzerna Polishes. The Optimum line is collecting dust down in the basement. Although I will give some of the Optimum poilshes a few more chances in the next upcoming details, I keep going back to Menzerna!
