This weekend's experiment
This weekend's experiment Since I've been so impressed with their other products, I'm going to give my car the "full Menzerna treatment" this weekend. Here's what I've got planned:
1) Clay (with washes)
2) Menzerna Intensive Polish (if necessary. I haven't seen any real bad spots)
3) Menzerna Final Polish
4) Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze
5) Menzerna FMJ
6) Menzerna Acrylic Spray
I plan to take lots of before, during, and after pictures. Should be fun.

I can't wait to see the pics...I wish this would have been last weekend's experiment, though, as I'm in the middle of my first "full detail" with the PC! 
My steps:
1. wash/clay/wash
2. Intensive Polish
3. Final Polish II
4. Finishing Touch Glaze
5. Pinnacle Sovereign
I'm nearing the end of step 2...I move slow and it's taking forever as my SS had waaaay more swirls/scratches than I expected (damn absorber!)...

If you like a plastic looking finish, then Zaino is for you. Otherwise, Menzerna is one of the absolute best you can get, which is reflected in its price. Do a search on some Menzerna before and after pics, if those don't sell you on it, then nothing will. The only thing I like from Zaino is the new abrasive polish that gets out scratches, seems to work very well from what I've seen/heard.

Don't take this the wrong way. I'm a big fan of Zaino's products. They have a great depth of shine and are very durable. My only complaint is that they can be TOO shiney, making the finish too sterile for my tastes. I've been using Blackfire as a sealant and have been very pleased with the results. The Menzerna FMJ is going to be a new experiment for me.

I could post 3 different pictures of my car with 3 different products on them, and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. There's nothing wrong with Zaino...there's nothing wrong with Menzerna...there's nothing wrong with any other product that people like to use (if it works for them).
Good luck, Chup. Post some pics
