These are the ones I know:

IP = Menzerna Intensive Polish
FP (FP2) = Menzerna Final Polish (II)
AIO = Klauss All in One
FMJ = Full Molecular Jacket (I believe)...it's a sealant from Menzerna
PC = Porter Cable
DA = Dual Action
NXT, #26 = Meguiars sealants

No problem. It was getting to a point where half the first page of this forum was stickies, so the admins did some consolidation. I came in one day and thought it got deleted for some reason myself.

Awesome thread. I am going to order one this weekend. What type of wash mit is everyone using? I used a microfiber mit and after reading some threads...I think it's caused more scratches than anything else.

My paint looks good, but under direct sunlight or flourscent(sp?) light you can see hundreds of tiny scratches. It's driving me nuts. I take good care of the car, I can't have these scratches!

I went to autogeek.com and looked around. They have video's of how to use the P/C and the products. For some of you guys it probably sounds stupid to watch a vid on how to buff a car. I thought the same thing until I watched them. For someone who has zero knowledge in the dept. it helped me. In their video they used pinnacle products. I will have to go back and see what everyone is using. After watching the vids I have to say I have spider webbing, thats exactly what it looks like. So I don't know if I need a pad/compound that cuts or just a polish. As I said the paint is smooth, you can run your hand/fingers over it and there's no catch on anything.

I want to say thank you again for this thread. I love learning about a topic that I know nothing about. I am trying to be a well rounded car guy, this will only help me.
