FPII Vs. 106ff

If I have FPII should I bother getting 106ff? Usually FPII is enough for me to cut most of the light swirling and imperfections that my black car acquires, but I wish it just had a bit more cut from time to time. I'm not clear on whether or not 106ff has more cut than FPII or not.



I have a few details coming up on news cars and a few on new paint, this type of polish is usually all they need.



Basically I'm looking for something with a bit more cut than, but finishes as nice (or nicer) as, FPII.
 
I have FPII and bought the 106ff and I'm really glad I did. I was blown away with how well it corrected the paint.



In fact, I was more impresssed by the performance of 106ff relative to FPII than by the improvements of SIP over IP (i.e., i bought SIP too).



I also feel like 106ff is more versatile in that you can use it with an orange pad and do some pretty good correction or go with the white for a final polish. I wouldn't do the same with the FPII.



One other differenced I noticed is that the 106ff seems to have more lubricants or something in it compared to FPII. The product is easy to work for a while and leaves a very slick finish when done. It is the best polish I've tried.
 
106ff has more bite than FPII right?



just got some 106ff and it looks exactly like FPII (purple), just has a little more grainy compound stuff in it.



can 106ff really finish down lsp ready?

For sure, on black I am LSP even with an orange pad and 106ff
 
IIRC (where's that menzerna chart I have saved...) Officially, 106FF has a slightly lower cut rating, but a higher gloss rating...but I think the harder abrasives in 106FF make it pretty close in cut.



For lighter colors that aren't scratch resistant, I'm not sure the price premium would be warranted
 
106FF?? FPII??? SIP???



You folks use way too many acronyms for someone who is new to detailing. I have no idea what you are talking about. :think:



(Actually I have been detailing my own cars for over forty years. This is just forum that I have found on the subject.)

I feel your pain gfspencer. I am new to detailing (didn't know what clay was 2 months ago) and I have trouble also keeping up with the acronyms. Especially when they are not on the Secret Decoder Ring thread.



Since I am considering polishing my car for the first time, Menzerna is a brand I am interested in learning about, specifically the differences between their products and which to use when.
 
106ff is Nano Polish by Menzerna

IP is Intensive Polish by Menzerna

SIP is Super Intensive Polish by Menzerna

FPII is Final Polish II by Menzerna

I see that 106ff is designed for scratch resistant coatings. Is it for use on "normal" clearcoat also?

Yes, it just may have a little stronger cut.



I was a little afraid when I first tried it...I had images of burning through my paint..



I used it with a green CCS pad..I found that combo milder than FPII with an orange LC pad..on a PC anyways



This was on 2004 Saturn Black Onyx (w/ clearcoat) paint

Thanks Stiff. Is 106ff a new product? I was looking at a polish comparision link mentioned in another thread and it wasn't listed there.
