Default just ordered my PC orbital and Menzerna products

well, I just ordered the following:

- Porter Cable 7424 Machine w/ 6" hook & loop pad, optional counter weight & Lake Country Pad Kit (5 pads total) along with three microfiber buffing clothes.
- Menzerna Final Polish II (32oz)
- Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze (32oz)
- Menzerna FMJ (32oz)
- Menzerna High Gloss Acrylic Shield (32oz)

I will be going from using all Zaino stuff by hand to machine applied Menzerna. Can't wait to see the results. I did not get the Intensive Polish because I feel my car does not need it, as my finish is pretty much swirl free to begin with and will be starting with the Final Polish as my first step.

has anybody used this stuff?? How do you like it?

works great, just search around to read about others experences with it, before you go nuts with it. I have had no issues, but I did a bit a reading about the right way and the wrong way to do it.

You are going to love it! Just be patient and the results will be worth every cent!

Oh, and ^^^^ Mike knows his ****! I have read almost every post he has on this subject and he speaks from experience not from opinion! Just my $.02

My results are on page 2 of my cardomain site(Link in sig): (1st time ever and on a black car!)

I ordered it from properautocare.com....

everything was $344.70 shipped.....probably not the absolute cheapest, but they had a very informative sight for a first-timer.

Properautocare's mailing list is fun too. It's the one bit of spam I enjoy receiving each month.

Well, that and the Frederick's of Hollywood emails...

I just finished compounding and polishing mine with the PC. I used mostly 3M compound and their polish. I ordered the trial size of Menzerna IPII and FP. I polished 1/2 my spoiler with the Menzerna (expensive and available only thru internet) and the other 1/2 with the 3M polish (cheaper and available at NAPA). Could not tell any difference nor could anyone else. As to which one will last the longest, don't know. Just my experience. BTW, they both made the car look really really good. Have fun!!

I like the Menzerna line, works well on my black car, haven't tried the glaze yet, but I like the way it makes the black look
