    I have a 2007 black Mustang daily driver which I go ape sh*t detailing in the spring. Decided to try two Menzerna products - SI 1500 and SF 4500. For the 1500 I used an orange pad; for the 4500 a gray. These two products are fantastic! Good work time with not a lot of dusting. The pic below is...

    What's your plan for winter and snow?!?!?!

    I was curious what you guys do when the weather is 20 degrees and snow is on the ground. Obviously you have to wash the car, but what's your plan of attack? Do you: 1) Go to a auto car wash? 2) Go to a self-service bay? 3) Drive to a warm weather state, wash the car, and drive back? ;)

    Mix and match with Menzerna????

    Hello all - Ive been using Menzerna FP II, FTG, and FMJ on my two black cars for about a year now. I think the protection is great, but the depth of shine doesnt knock my socks off. Does anyone use other brand products WITH Menzerna to provide a deep shine?
