Has anyone here used Menzerna IP for light scratches? How did it work on G35 paint?

 

On my Diamond graphite. It remove them with easy leaving the paint lsp ready. Used it with any orange pad.

 

Anyone use both IP and optimum compound? I was using the OC this weekend, and while it does a decent job removing the majority of scratches, it just takes too long to break down, looking for something a bit faster, either IP or SIP

 

Haven't used IP but if it's near as good as 106ff it should be good stuff. I would like to hear your opinion after.

 

106FF is enough for light swirls

IP is for heavier ones. Let me show you what i'm talking about on this MR2

^ that is a nice improvement...are you using a pc or a rotary?

 

I can't speak highly enough for SIP. Has great bite, but good working time and little dusting. To top it off, it finishes off with a great shine. Even with DG I doubt you will need another finishing polish because the shine will be great. I have 106FF too, but rarely use it because SIP finishes off so nicely.

 

was done on a hitachi rotary on 1700 RPM and orange pad

 

IP is not as good as 106ff. 106ff breaks down nicer then IP.

 

a) The use of a duel level foam pad (primary / secondary) / single polish correction system; will change the way each polish works in accordance to which pad you use (i.e. use a polishing pad followed by a finishing pad) and will really heighten the paint finish shine.

b) For most paint correction use *PO 106 FA / 106 FF a Lake County (LC) White or Orange and PO 85 D3.01 polish with a (LC) Blue foam pad at 1000 RPM should be all you need.

c) For paint renovation use PO S34A Power Gloss (LC Purple wool pad 1500 – 1800 RPM). It has a short work time, slow cut but tends to ‘dust’

You are talking about two different levels of polishing. IP has more cutting than 106ff. You would use IP and then 106ff or FPII to finish the job.

 

I know that. But I was asking the guys question. Don't you see my post.

 

Yeah, I assumed you know that. But I don't agree that it is better. It is made for a different purpose. It is different but not necessarily better. Better at final finishing - yes. Better at removing marks - no. I am not arguing with you in any way. I just think that those of us who know something about detailing should be careful in saying what is better or worse. I know you know that and maybe I am just reading too much into it. If so, I am sorry.
