Menzerna FTG topped with FMJ

[jsoto]

In the recent CMA newsletter, they suggest to use FTG topped with FMJ.





I was under the impression the most if not all sealants should be on a bare oil free surface. Because FTG is a "glaze", shouldn't this either prohibit bonding of FMJ or at the least decrease the durability of FMJ versus if FMJ was just applied to a car without no glaze underneath ?

great question, i'd like to know too

There are some sealants that are ok with many products such as glazes and polishes. One that comes to mind is Poorboy's EX and EX-P, and Meguiars #20. So I think it is just what the sealant is made to work with. In this case, I think it will be fine since they recommend it and have their own glaze to use before.

I just used the Menzerna kit on my new E55 hood and front fenders...all I can say it WOW!!!



The depth is awesome for a sealant!!!

What color is *YOUR*



FP-II



FTG



FMJ?



Peleaaase?

FP-II... Grey-ish white...Much lighter color compared to original FP.



FTG-a off-white color...beige almost.



FMJ-almost a hot-pink... Stained my new MF applicators from Ranney. I've soaked in Tide Free for the last 2 hours...Don't think it's coming off.

Thanks Chris



I'm sure that pink color was added there, to make a difference.



I'm convinced FMJ is PO85U;



FP-II is PO85RD;



FTG is PO73.



The first two are also new here, they produce similar results, why would Menzerna make different products for us if one works for both? :nixweiss



Anyway, I have my NEW Menzerna distributor working on this, on a comparison chart

Oh, and Chris, to backup this info, I'm sure you have read this post on DC, by rufus03 http://www.detailcity.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=27041#post27041



His FMJ is white, as it's PO85U, a jelly white, non staining product...

 

[Chris Y.]

I saw his post and I though I might have gotten the wrong product



Here is a picture from the CMA Application Guide I got with the kit. I even shows a hot pink color for FMJ.

Again, appologies for the crappy photo...
