Debating what Menzerna to use on a one-step

I have an E55 AMG to enhance on Wednesday, but it's black, and I need to get decent correction...the client is not looking for total correction of deeper marks but wants the spider webbing and buffer trails gone. I was thinking that PO203S "might" finish down right, but I don't know if I want to risk having to go back with 85rd which would take twice as long than I'm planning on spending polishing. Should I just do 85rd and call it a day? Would 106FA give a little more cut but still finish down with the same gloss?

HELP HELP HELP!!!!

 

I did a GL450 a while back, SIP and 85RD made it gorgeous... So if you're doing one stepper, then 203S would be a good choice!

 

+1 for PO203S. I always start with it, and often, I don't need anything else.

 

Power finish is amazing! I had a sample and used it once and have a nice cut and finished down well. This was using it on a DA so it was a long work time but on a rotary it would be golden!

done, and done

 

Power finish on a white or green CCS pad should not leave any hologramming if you work it until it goes clear and it should remove 80-85% of marring with those pads.

 

+1. I've found that if it is flashing a little too quickly for you, mist some water, it will extend the work time and then you can jewel it to the finish. I tried this on my last detail when it was rather warm and humid, and this helped a lot. Although, I did correlate that the machine was running at a faster speed, 3 perhaps on my Makita when this happened.

Now I saw mist some water, due to the abrasives in this product continually fracturing and breaking down. I assume that this is safe, not as with some of he newer Meg's products, where the abrasives so not breakdown, and the potential for "clumping exponentially increasing, potentially leaving tracers @ the micro level.

 

P203S mixed with a little PO85RD.

 

I've done this as well with good results. The other option is to get some Gloss it pad prime. It will extend your polishing time expedentially. Awesome product.

 

In my experience, Power Finish can be worked for a long time right out of the bottle. I've used Uber orange with PF and found it to finish down hologram free. The trick seems to be to work it an almost unnaturally long time - as long as the machine still glides over the panel, I can keep going. I typically start at roughly 1100, move up to 1500, finish at 1100. If I need more cut, I bump up the speed, and/or the pad.

I typically put a bead of 203 down half of a 5.5" pad and work an area roughly 3x3. I change the amt. of polish, and the size of the area I'm working, based on the shape of the panel and how easily I can reach.

 

Just be aware, if you don't work 203 the full time, it's going to hologram.

I use PO85RD because it works longer than 203, so it's kinda like a 1.5 step. It's worked very, very well for me.

 

+1!!!!
