Asking for some feedback

[The D]

Well, it’s been a doozy of a year so far. I was all set to correct and shine up our ‘13 Explorer this fall but then we went through an absolutely crazy springtime vehicle clown show(which saw us going through 2 rental cars and “buying” 2 cars that only lasted 4 days between them). I’ve finally settled down with an ‘18 Nissan Armada and I’d like some opinions on my plans.

I had settled on Menzerna 3n1 for the Exploder. I gathered that the paint on the Explorer was firm enough that this wasn’t going to be a problem. But now, I’ve read Nissan paint is much thinner and softer and am wondering if I need something else. Is the Menz 3n1 still appropriate for my new(to me) Armada? Maybe find an extra soft pad? Exterior color is a pearl white. There aren’t any really obvious/bad sections, at least that I can see, so I don’t really need to dig too far into the paint.

Any and all opinions/advice is welcome

A polishing pad a mild polish should do it. You pretty much can`t see defects on white in the sun.

Something like Sonax Perfect Finish or Menz 3500/PPU 2n1?

Had great results with Sonax Perfect Finish on both my Audi and my mom`s BMW.

Sonax Perfect Finish and NV Nova Finesse are both great. Finesse finishes slightly better. Scholl S20 Black is also very good but might have a bit too much cut for a light polish.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. What I’m taking away from this so far is some pretty mild polish and a fine pad will be good for my Armada?

DIY detail Gold Standard and their Yellow waffle pad.

Sonax perfect finish with a orange lake country pad or similar should work just fine. My father has a white nissan that i`ve polished a few times now.

I have had great results with Optimum Hyper-Polish... It will work as long as you want it to work and always leaves a really nice, flat, clear, glossy, finish...
Used for for over 10 years and never had a problem with any type of paintwork..
Good luck with your projects !

Bah! Stoopid relatively free economy providing dozens of good choices…

After reading up on all of the great suggestions here I was getting close to ordering some Perfect Finish or one of the Scholl’s Concepts products. But then I read a bit on some Koch Chemie stuff. And started suffering from analysis paralysis.

So I’m circling back to the bottle of Menz 3in1 I have and am ordering some of their light cut/polish pads. I swear I’m done. I just need to find the time to start on the cars in question… Probably next weekend after our last camping trip of the season, maybe
