man, i got up-sold by the guy at www.Properautocare.com lol :D



I called them to ask about a good polish to use before my AIO and UPP on my 05 Audi, and the guy ended up selling me on the IP, FP and glaze from Menzerna... lol I guess I wont be using the AIO anymore, huh?



What do you all think? IP + FP + Glaze + UPP:xyxthumbs
 
Surface Preparation- (using Menzerna polishes)

1.Wash vehicle with a good quality car wash concentrate 1.0oz per 2 gallon

2. Rinse vehicle thoroughly.

3. Remove any imbedded contaminants with detailing clay (Clay Magicâ„¢)

and a lubrication solution 5:1 (Distilled water/Woolite®)

4. Remove surface imperfections with (Menzerna Intensive Polish) 6/10, Orange /White Pad, speed # 5.0

5. A swirl mark remover (Menzerna Final Polish II, (Contains oils) CA 3/10, White Pad, speed # 4.5

6. Clean paint film surface with a chemical cleaner / polish (Klasse All-In-One)

7. Lightly wash paint surface with a diluted car wash concentrate 1.0oz per gallon

8. Dry thoroughly and start the application of *Klasse acrylic resin



* Insert favourite sealent here*



Note: For Ceramiclear clear coat use (4) Menzerna PO85RD (CAS 3/10) and (5) PO106FF(CAS 5/10) these polishes are better suited for use with a high-speed rotary polisher as the micro-abrasives require heat to break them down efficiently

Well, where does the glaze come in? Would I be better off with the glaze or the AIO? What will the difference be?



I also have the excel pads. 2 blue, 1 grey, and I red (from properautocare)



Is this sufficient?
 
You'll be happy with menzerna. IMO it's the best polish you can find, hands down. Use the AIO to clean your paint in the spring, and for winter prep.
 
A glaze would be applied after the chemical cleaner AIO.

This is how/why I use a glaze-after polishing the paint surface and it's the best it can be (there may be some scratches that are too deep to remove without compromising the clear coat) a glaze contains 'fillers' and these will disguise my less than 100% paint surface.



With this in mind your decisions- are there any surface scratches that need to be 'filled'-if yes use a glaze-if no apply your LSP



*I* would advocate Klasse AIO as an ideal 'base' for any sealant / wax system.

I strongly support TOGWT's points.



AIO is a fundamental part of any detailer's arsenal.



In fact, I judge other 'detailers' by whether they use the product.

ok. Then I will go with the FP, Glaze and UPP.



Hopefully, I will be able to get away without having to use the IP...



Maybe I should get some FMJ instead of the UPP... Think there would be a difference?

Nothing wrong with the UPP, since you already have it I'd just go with it. But then I'm partial to UPP ;)

My guess is no. Since glazes in general just cover up and have not cutting or cleaning power, they won't do anything other than just blanket over AIO.



So....did you want to do the UPP/Blackfire exchange?:)

SURE. How much for how much?

Actually, I was thinking straight up. e.g. 4 oz. for 4 oz., since they cost about the same. If you want to exchange more, that's fine with me.
