Default Can't wait for the UPS man!

On order, scheduled to arrive Tuesday:

Properautocare Menzerna polish and pad kit
6" velcro back plate for PC 7424
Blackfire all-finish paint protectant

Swirl marks...BEGONE!

Now if Houston could just go a few days without rain....

I'll post before and after pics. Went to the movies last night and saw TONS of spidery swirl marks on the roof (NBM with black roof). Looking forward to getting those OUT.

LOL... I'm in the same boat.

PC, backing plate, pads, Meg's #33, #9, #31, #26, and a bunch of MF towels. I was actually pretty close to going with Menzerna AND Blackfire, but I decided to go with Meguiars for some reason. Hopefully we both get great results with different products.

Take before and after pics to show off your work.

I have a similar setup coming in the mail.

A 7424 along with a few pads (couple orange, white, etc)
Menzerna Intensive & Final, glaze, and FMJ.
A whole bunch of microfiber (wash mit, towels, etc.)

I'll be switching to FMJ from Zaino. I love the slippery feel and the durability of the Zaino, but the lack of depth started getting to me. I hope the FMJ is as good as the guy on properautocare claims it is. I'll be doing the complete process, so it should be awesome.

I think you guys will be VERY satisfied with the results you get. If you have any questions on the procedure(s) shoot me a PM. Make sure you follow the directions. properautocare has a good write-up on removing swirls using the PC and menzerna, be sure to refer to it (i.e. using water/alcohol to remove polishing residues). One other point, don't be afraid to turn the speed on the PC up/use a little bit of pressure on those stubborn swirls. I've run mine at 5.5 using decent/moderate pressure and it does a great job of removing those super stubborn swirls. That's the only part of the procedure where I would stray from properautocare's directions.


Tailwind - let us know how the FMJ works out - I've yet to try it (too much other stuff to use up first)

Post pics!!
