What pads do you guys use to apply the products below. I use both rotary and random orbital.



Menzerna Intensive Polish

Menzerna Final Polish II

Klass AIO
 
Both menzerna work best with the rotarty.



IP i use the CMA yellow

FP2 i use the CMA white



You said the M* word, Deanski will be here shortly :), he uses these polishes also with a different combo of pads. Maybe PM him, he has very good advise on Menzerna
 
L33 it the nail on the head , also I've gotten excellent results with IP and the orange power pad. As for AIO depedning on how much you want it to polish either a white polish pad or a finishing pad.
 
Yep, I'm here:D



You are correct on pads.



Menzerna was developed for use via rotary. This is where you will get the best results.



IP is a cutting type of polish for removing swirls and or leveling paint finishes. Depending on the severity, a cutting pad should be used. Once swirls are gone, switch to a polish pad and continue one pass with IP. Or if light swirls remain, switch to the orange pad (still cuts but less aggressive than a full cut pad).



Finish with FP on a finish pad at a slower speed, no more than 1200 and if it dries too quickly, spritz with distilled water. Keep an eye on your pad so it does not get polish build-up. Keep a clean pad is what you are trying to accomplish to get the highest gloss from. You could use a polish pad, but you get more polish "burnishing" with a finish pad.



As for AIO, apply with the softest pad, you just got your finish perfect, no need to add micro-marring from an overly aggressive pad. Go nice and slow with a PC if you have one.



Removal, sure you could use a MF bonnet. It all depends on how well the AIO cured. It should come off easy by hand and a MF. If you want to use a bonnet for removal/buffing, find a site not seen at eye level and try a very small area. Shine a hologen lamp on it to see if any marring came up. If so, don't continue (duh) on the rest. Do it by hand.



Maintaing AIO: So far: 1Z Lackfinish cut 1:1 with distilled water or better yet... SONUS "High Gloss Acrylic Spritz" for Klasse sealants.



Let us know how you do!

Ha ha!

Right on call, it's like flashing the batman symbol to the city of gotham!!!

Very informative as usual :)

Deanski, do you mix that 1z solution each time you use it or does the solution last a while?
 
It's a WAUD normally, so cutting 1:1 turns it to a very nice QD.



Man, tuff typing when driving
