    3M products

    Ok fella`s, it seems the best finish I have found is from the 3M Perfect it product (Glaze) Anyone else think they have something that will give the car a better, shinier finish?

    Menzerna will beat any 3M polish easy.

    3M has the biggest marketing divisions known in car-care re-finishing and repair. Some are not bad at all, others are so so. All depends on what application you are looking at.

    Menzerna is known to have the worlds best abrasives and is an OEM/Tier1 supplier to MB, and other mfg in the USA.

    Again, all depends on application. Menzerna wins in the OEM market. Aftermarket is where they lack in marketing. Besides, the majority of thier products are for OEM and not much on the detail side. They do have a detail line, but not widely known. Most of us still use the polishes used in repair/refinish work. Those are:

    Powergloss
    Intensive Polish
    Final Polish
    Micro Polish
    Glaze

    And several others used for hard clearecoats: Ceramiclear etc, but are used on the OEM level when the finish is still curing/warm.

    Depending on what your needs are, and your level of expertise, I`d try some of the Menzerna polishes and see how you like them. BTW, they ARE designed to be used by a rotary, but can be used by PC with a little know-how.

    3M PIII FG contains a caranuba if you are un-aware. The PIII-MG does not.

    another vote for Menzerna, they have pretty much replaced all the products in my detailing arsenal.

    I used the 3M line up for some time only because it was about the best choice for over the counter where I live. However after using Poorboys products I have changed to his line. Its hands down the best finish that I have seen on my black BMW.
