Whats your favorite light Duty Finishing polish

I worked the paint above the fender flares with SSR2 with the exception of SSR1 on the hood, not too bad. After I finished with the last quarter panel I got to thinking. The last 2 combos I have used on my 4Runner (S-S black) have looked great but lacked the oily-deep black I was yearning for. I sifted through my tub of not-used-in-a-really-long-time products and found 29 ounces of Meguiars Hand Polish.

I had problems with streaking and cloudyness last time I used it and I think I gave up easy and moved on to PwC or SEPC, both yeilding great shine (with ease) but really lacking depth. Forgetting all that I had remebered about how it was to be used, I threw a Sonus Finishing pad on the ol' PC and applied a little more than a quarter sized drop to the dry pad. I thought for sheezy that I was going to set it down or sample it out to friends etc.

I worked that drop from the drivers tail light to the front of the back door, like 2'x5'. Spread it with on 3 moved to 4.5 and then 5 back and forth for about 4 minutes a section working only front to back motions. I waited about 3 minutes, did another section the same size and went back and wiped the first off. Nice and toasty warm with a very slight greasiness to the touch. I continued on around the truck eventually letting each sit a few more minutes than I had originally, solving the greasy feel. When I was done I sealed it with EX-P and wil be going back out there tomorrow to give it another.

AFAI could tell, it's deep and I don't think the halogens (50% off at sears BTW) are doing it justice. I haven't read anything about this product in a while. Might work for you.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I absolutley love the Mernzerna Micropolish (FP II). I was a bit hesitant on using it seeing how it is formulated for a rotary, but I found it to be a great product. It was very easy to use, I was amazed at how easy it was to remove. And I love how you can see the product on the surface so easy, very easy to work in on a section! As for the AIO :dunno, not really to impressed with it! I haven't used VM in a while so I can't comment on it! Have not tried the Adam's products, but I will soon enough!! Thanks god for X-mas!

MY LIST:
--Menzerna Micropolish (FP II)
--Meguiar's #80 Speed Glaze
--Poorboy's PwC
--VM

Sean,

I use IP and FPII, and haven't really paid much attention to AIO as a final cleaner/polish. II've thought of it more as a sealer. I'm thinking about adding AIO to my regimen as a prep for Zaino Z2/Z5.

What's the difference between AIO and FPII? When do you use one versus the other?

Regards,

Dan.
 
I like Menzerna FPII, VM, AIO, and PwC and use them all at different times.


Bookemdano: AIO is cleaner, polish, protectant hence the name 'all in one', where FPII is a dedicated polish.
