Prima compound/polishes

How about some feedback from those that use these products! THANKS!!!

 

Love em, I prefer Cut and Swirl to Menzerna PG and Intensive Polish, though I sometimes use both one after the other

Cut smells great, is very gritty so around 900 to 1100 grit leveller
needs to be worked at 1400 to 1800 straight up, not 600 slowly to 1500 like Menzerna

Swirl not just a strong 1300 to 1700 grit compound but it deep cleans the paint and brings back the fresh off the gun finish and enhances the shade a little

Finish is my second favourite 2000 grit polish, not as long working time as Menzerna most of the time but has its advantages

Works on any paint, soft, very soft, medium, medium hard and hard

Amigo - smells like chocolate mud cake, actually tastes like Chocolate mud cake. (gave it a taste test the other day)

Whether it be rotary at 700 to 1800 rpm, orbital or hand use, on solid blacks you will get a little more depth, a clearer finish clarity than Menzerna 106 and 85RD on their own or one after the other and the slickest feeling paint you can get

Plus you can put any sealant or wax on top of Amigo

It's best to leave it on the paint for 1 to 2 hours first

Killer on blue's

I bought a stack of it in january this year

 

Guess I'll have to give Prima a shot too, LoL.

 

I have used to use Prima Swirl and its quite ok. Its between Meguiars #80 and #83 I think. Now I´m trying Amigo and its a must have. It makes such a slick paint, all swirls were gone and its a breaze to use.

 

Prima Swirl has been my go to since I got into detailing. I have Prima Cut but really have not used it. Prima Finish adds a great finish to the paint. Amigo is great, I use it onflat colored paint. I like the line because it works well with my PC.

 

So what is amigo? Is it a finishing polish or a glaze?

 

It means friend in spanish!:angel:

 

A glaze

 

but it's a sealant and wax friendly one
plus amigo also is good on some plastics

 

How did you apply it?
cause swirl by rotary needs to be applied in a certain way

 

whats the correct way?

 

If you read on showcardetailing Richard always uses Prima Swirl with a rotary, never really noticed anything special as far as techique I caould be wrong

 

Prima polishes were designed to be used with a PC so rotary use was always a problem for me
I spoke to Nick at DP a few times and did some playing around

I find cut and swirl easier to use and get superior correction if I spread it at 600 rpm and then straight to 1500/1600 and work it slowly until it breaks down, then I burnish/jewel the paint down between 750 and 1200

That I found superior to using the menzerna technique of 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1500 then back down slowly to 750
Swirl won't start leaving an oily film and spread if the menzerna technique is used
