Prima Review

Nice review. Prima products are very easy to use. What I mainly use is the Swirl and Amigo .As that combo handles a wide range.

I'm not tanking a personal stance on it. Use Prima, use Menzerna, use whatever. I use whatever I think will do the job at hand. Sometimes that's Menzerna, sometimes that's Meguiars, sometimes that's Optimum, sometimes it's another product.

This is the second time Roger has made some sort of snarky comment about the polishes. Hence, beating a dead horse.

Yeah I was going to make a comment on this but I figured I'd save the argument.

You'd think Roger made a personal attack against his company with that response.

Eh, well first it's not my company. I'm a systems admin first and foremost, and an enthusiastic/part time detailer second.

In general, I get irked when people come into someone's review thread and chime in on how "product xyz" is better.

Say you made a Swissvax Concorso review thread and someone came in and said "Dude, Zymol XYZ is better". Really? Why not just review Zymol XYZ and let other people figure out what they like better.

To me, in a review thread there's no need to interject what's "better", when someone's just trying to evaluate what they have on hand. It'd be nice to see Roger review the Prima polishes, just for the sake of hearing what he thinks of 'em. We know he likes Menz. (Who doesn't though?)

If this were a thread called Prima Finish VS Menz 106FF, then sure.. interject whatever the heck you like.

That's my own flaw though, how I feel a thread should go versus how they usually go. one of my many flaws as a human being.

I must be missing the part where Roger mentioned another brand (in this thread)....unless of course you are assuming that he's on Menzerna's bandwagon. Hell, he didn't even take a shot at Prima.

When a product is reviewed or tested Id like to see it tested at the harshest conditions...and it appears like thats all he was pointing out. It's a fact that soft clears correct easier than hard ones.

You don't see Car and Driver testing cars out at half throttle.

You have a good point there about different conditions ("Half Throttle" analogy is good). I still took it as Roger saying "yeah, ok.. but there's better stuff out there". (He's mentioned it before in the Prima voting thread)

If you want to see Prima used on harder clears you can always check out ShowCarDetailing and see Richard Lin's work. He uses Prima almost exclusively from what I can tell. (he does mention Meg's 105 on occasion)..

Unfortunately I didn't order "Cut" or "Finish", just Swirl and Amigo. And my personal cars are a brand new VW Jetta Sportwagen that doesnt' need polishing yet and a 03 Mazda Protege 5 that needs a LOT of polishing.

Though, the Mazda is likely to have soft paint too; not as soft as a Honda might have. Then again 75% of the car has been resprayed over the years from accidents, so it's anyones guess on how the paint will react. I'll post a review when I can do some test spots.

Thanks for the review. I'm thinking about getting Swirl for a one-stepper.
