Menzerna IP 1&2 or Poorboys SSR 2.5 with PC to get swirls out??

STI1981 · 07-13-2006, 07:41 PM

I just bought an 06 sti and well the dealership doesn't know how to wash a car without putting swirls in the paint.

Well i tried some expensive Pinnacle products with my Porter Cable. Wasn't totally satisfied. I have heard good things about Menzerna. Is it easy to work with? I thought of getting there PC swirl remover kit or should I just get the Poorboy SSR 2.5. I want as perfect of paint as i possible can without harming the clearcoat. Waterspots and swirls get on my last nerve.

Is there any other recommendations or any detailing tricks someone could offer? Thanks for your help.

I have used both and IMHO, Menzerna owns Poorboys. I would go with IP and FPII, thats what I use on my car. I also like Optimum.
