Menzerna/Porter cable detail phase 1 done, question

Zane is correct. I've got their whole line of products on my car now. The sealant and quick spray were a little tough to work with. I like the results, but I've had very similar results with Zaino and Blackfire (still my favorite) with much less effort. I have to disagree about the glaze, though. I really REALLY like it.
Here are my thoughts of the whole line:

My favorite combo so far:
Menzerna IP (as needed)
Menzerna FP2
Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze
Blackfire Sealant
Blackfire Detailing Spray
I've also done the Menzerna polish/Zaino sealant combo with excellent results. Zaino lasts longer than Blackfire, but I feel Blackfire has a little more "life". Zaino is a little too glossy for my taste, and can distract from the true color of the paint.

Well the pics of mine are with the sealant (you guys are talking about the FMJ right? ) I don't have a problem with it, apply, let haze, buff off. I do like the Z6 better than the Menzera detail spray, like you said it's easier to buff out.
All in all it's just an experiment to find out what works for you and what doesn't
So you got any pics of cars with the Blackfire, I was interested in trying it, but bought the FMJ instead

Great info guys, thanks a MILLION!! I did the car tonight with the Finishing Touch Glaze, and WOW, so far it's getting better and better, the spots are still on the hood, I tried to work with them more, but it's gonna take the IP to get them off
The rest of the car looks fabulous, VERY smooth feeling and shiny as hell!! I really love how this PC and Menzerna work! I plan to FMJ tomorrow and see where it takes me. I put the PC on about 4.5-5 tonight, I like it there better, seems to work better and makes me feel like it's doing something over the 3.5 setting.
I plan to snap some pics tomorrow in the sunlight for you all to see, but it really works!! If my hood didn't look so bad I might actually like the car right now, but it get's me down when I see the water spots and KNOW I'm the one who caused it by being lazy and negligent to the car But for 99k miles, it doesn't look like it right now hehe
Thanks again for ALL the info and pointers, this thread turned out better than I hoped!!
