Thanks everyone

Peleg, I can't say enough about Menzerna polishes, they are OEM for so many companies out there its crazy.

They are solely a manufacturer for polishes. They have been in business for over 100 years. The product just is amazing.

I take it you use an orbital unit with that polish?

How many stages does the Menzerna system comes with? Is there one for each specific job?

What is the polish made of?

Is this stuff German or Italian?

It usually works like this:

Lambo owner: this car is a mess. Can you help?

Detailer: yes, but it's going to take some time and work.

Lambo owner: like how much time?

Detailer: like 4-5 hours...

Lambo owner: Ok, I'll take my Benz to the mall, see you later.

I use a Metabo 12-175 its a rotary.

For this car I used 2 steps. Super Intensive Polish followed by Menzerna 85RD.

Green pad and white final polish pad.

Menzerna is made in German.

No fillers or silicon.

So the super intensive is for swirls/scratches and the 85RD is the final polish?

I noticed each brand has its own system, so I'm just trying to figure this brand out.

Pads is a given.

correct. I would go with green or orange lake country pad followed with 85rd and a white pad.
