Menzerna twins under the Klasse twins?

**imported_Aaron in Denver** · 11-05-2003, 07:22 PM

Is this an ok combination? From what I`ve read thus far, the menzerna products are strictly polishes, so it would seem that they`d give a great base for AIO/SG.

Am I wrong on this?

Thanks!

If you`re going to do the two polishes, do your really need to use the AIO? It`s my impression you could go straight to the SG following the Menzerna Final Polish.

I don`t know enough about the chemistry and reaction between AIO and SG...perhaps you will have better durability if using the AIO as a step between the Menzerna and SG.

The Menzerna is such a fine polish, I have simply gone straight to my final wax/sealant after I`m done polishing. Results have been excellent.

Well I think that would be a good plan of attack because the Final Polish really does a good job for the optics of the paint. AIO cleans and lays down the best base for SG to bond to. The Menzerna twins are meant to be worked with each other and so are the Klasse twins. They don`t give the base, persay, because you are not leaving anything behind. They will strip anything under them as well as some minor paint correction, swirls, etc. I would say you are good to go. Although it does seem a bit more redundant, it is certainly going to give you a great looking car.

Edit: My only reservation from telling you to go from IP to AIO is often times the IP does haze the surface a little bit and AIO doesn`t do that good of job for surface haze.

Thanks for the quick replies!

Greg, I see that you list a black BMW. I`m trying to improve the finish on a black Boxster. The finish is new, but I have a lot of the spider web type flaws.

Have you used IP/FP on your Bimmer, or what has worked well on that car?

Yeah, it has worked pretty well, but I prefer using DACP, SFP now. I just find Menzerna IP just such a pain to work with. It is often called Glue-zerna for its utter inability to remove. Final Polish is fantastic though!! Good luck.
