New Menzerna Chart

Thought I'd start a new thread since it will help a lot of us out.

Old chart:

Please note that the new cut/gloss properties went from a 1-5 scale to a 1-10 scale. So either half everything in the new chart to compare, or double everything in the old chart.

 

Sometimes it's hard to make sense of these things. I don't see SIP (SI1500) on the new chart, and the new name for 85rd should be SF4500.

Did they do away with PL? Or is it a new name?

 

I agree, where is SIP? Its listed in the top chart but not the second. And PF was is so close to 106 now, one of them has become a mute point. Looks like I'll be using FG500, PF2500 and UF5000.

 

Mama Mia. I can see if they were changing formulas, but why constantly create confusion?

 

Different markets have different charts, it's a total mess.

Just an example: PO85RD is SF4500 in US, FF3000 in UK, UF5000 in Australia

 

And in the UK, PF and SIP are BOTH PF2500!

 

I just read in the m101 thread that euro/asia paint is different then north american paint. Probably that's why there are 2 charts. I wish it was standard Menzerna across the board.

 

I can't imagine it is gone.

The chart says those are polishes. And since SW has some minor abrasives in it, it makes that chart.

 

Has anyone used fast gloss before?

 

There are a number of people I know that have it and use it; and from what they say - it's amazing.

 

Fast Gloss aka "The Shit" vs. M101 aka "Pimp Juice" ..... I want to see how this goes down, maybe it'll be like watching a UFC

 

I can't seem to find Fast Gloss anywhere. Is it region exclusive like M101?

 

FG is not available in the US (maybe Canada, but I'm not sure).

 

Fast Gloss is not available in N America although some enterprising individuals have managed to get some.

 

I'll let you know when my M101 shows up next week.

 

So it seems PF2500 might be the next go to for a quick one stepper? I'll have to test it to believe it. I would assume if they changed the polishes around it changed the compound's properties so I wonder how much it changed from the original P0203, maybe it didn't at all if the chart shows it as a direct comparison.

 

They removed a bit of the cut Chas. Im going to get some and see how much of a real world difference it makes. Im sure it will still work fine to remove light marring and swirls and be a go to product for one steps.

 

Powerfinish was one of the best one step polishes on the market. IMO making it cut less than IP is a huge mistake.

Looks like i'll be giving D300 or Fixer polish by Car pro a shot.
