    Hey guys,

    So last time I detailed my 335i I used strictly Poorboys (SSR 1-3) products. After discussing this with a bunch of people, they have turned me onto Menzerna products. They said that Menzerna are hands down better so I wanted to give them a try. I'm getting ready for my winter detail so I ordered some new products from Glimmer Glass. This time I plan to wash the car with some Poorboys shampoo, clay the car using ONR as a lube, then begin the swirl removing part. I heard many reviews that the best way to attack jet black is to start with the SIP (PO83) and a orange pad followed up with the Super Finish (106 FA) with a white pad. I then planned to jetseal 109 it with a blue pad twice, followed up by Dodo Juice Blue Velvet on a blue pad. I didn't order the Menzerna yet, so I'm asking are these the two best products to use on the soft jet black paint?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    should be fine. I would apply the wax by hand though. a very thin coat. waut 24 hours then apply another coat.

    if you haven't bought the products yet, i suggest you take power finish (PO203S) and PO85RD instead.

    I'd prefer to finish down with 85RD instead of 106FA on BMW black. The PO203S/85RD combo SpecC mentioned is a great combo imo.

    SIP and 106FA are old news, that was the cutting edge a couple years ago but now 203 will cut like SIP and finish like 106, then 85RD will just amp up the gloss. Same amount of work, much better finish.

    i dont know about BMW paint but on my black onyx Lexus paint SIP was performing much much better than 203. I did a test section of both and the SIP correction was far cleaner. I then followed up with 85RD and it came out looking glossy like no other. Just my personal experience...
