Menz Products and DA

[Jon.G]

I've borrowed a Das-6 off a friend with some polishes but I'm having trouble finding where to start. I've looked over on DW and understand about testing etc but I'm now not sure when to use each of the products.

I've got:
Menz super finish
Menz final finish
Menz Power Gloss
Poorboys Black Hole

Along with:
1x Sonus Swirl and Scratch remover Pad
2x Sonus Paint Polishing Pads
1x Souns Final Finish Polishing Pad

I understand BH is a Glaze so it is after the Polishing but I cant see why I need to use all of the Menz products.

I'll be interested in gally's response on this - I have all that list bar the Poorboys Black Hole (wtf kind of name for a product is that? :S )

u dont need to use all the menz products, start at the "weakest" product and pad combo and work ur way up
start off with menz super finish and sonus finishing pad and work ur way up through the range

 

[MatthewR]

dont you then have to use the weakest again to get the finish? sorry for my inferior knowledge

 

[dazzyb87]

Only if u habe to use a heavier combo like a cutting pad and an aggressive compound. Just to refine it.
Bh gives a lovely shine to a car. Good choice on that one

Like I say I'm borrowing these, but I was thinking of getting BH for my previous car. This correction will also be paired with the werkstatt prime strong and zymol carbon I have.

I'm in no mega rush as I'll probably be doing it wed/thurs but might do some testing today or tomorrow.

Hi guys apologies for the delay, no way was I writing the response via iPhone!

Anyway here goes...

http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/menzerna-car-care-and-detailing-products.html Have a good read at the polishes on there. The descriptions are better than I could ever give.

Imo you need to find out the numbers on the bottom of the bottle as the names are similar.

RD3.02 is heavy compound/polish
203's is a good polish and 1 step product might not work well on Renault paint though
85rd is a finishing polish used alongside RD3.02 AS A 2 STEP POLISH.
106fa has less cut than 203's but the particles are very course. Not a great product.

On Renault paint i'd either use 203's on a decent pad. Something like Hex green/Orange. For medium swirl removal. Or a 2 step with 3.02 on a hard pad hex green/orange and then finish with 85rd on a finishing pad. Hex Blue.

Anything else I can help you with? Practice makes perfect.
