LOL.. I'd like to say both
5 hours was just the machining time, not including washing, claying etc.
Menz 106ff or the new 106fa and the 3.01 or 3.02 really are in my mind the best polishes on the market, in fact I've just received another 2lts of from Clean Your Car (SCN Site sponsor as well
) he'll also from what I remember match any price (fingers crossed I got that right)
Thats all good, i have the old version of the menza(cant remeber what there called). Just wondering if the machine versions are worth the upgrade?

If you have a PC or Rotary then without knowing which product codes you have I would suggest moving up to the new Cerami Clear Menz pro range.
I can't remember the full numbers but the ones I now can't live without are FF85RD, 106FF (new version is 106FA) and IP3.01 (new version is 3.02).
Only possible word of caution, some have said that these don't work so well in high temps (direct sun) though personally I've not found this to be an issue yet .

They work beautifully in a cool garage, personally i prefer the 106FF ( not tried the FFa yet) as you can work it for a lot longer and it seems to leave ( in my eyes anyway) a much nicer finish.
Yea but the closest thing that can is grey hehe!Nothing will ever beat black for reflection shos
Thats because it is a final stage polish to remove any micromarring. To do a whole car with VAG paintand ff would not work really. Ff has more oil and is and less abrassives which is why you can work it longer. The paint should be lsp ready when finished with ff. The ceramiclears IP equivalent more often than not leaves an lsp surface so avoids having to go over the car twice.

I'm sorry Daffy but I have done many cars just with 106ff on the rotary and got a perfect finish with full defect removal (at least those which can't be felt) I guess it really comes down to how you work a product, for me I have no problem, also people like Clark from Polished Bliss has posted many times on DW about doing full defect removal on VAG paints with 106ff.
Here is a 50:50 of the Ibiza I did yesterday, rotary, menz 106ff, white polishing pad and no more than speed 2 1/2

The only Menzerna range that are Cerami Clear are and their numbers, cut and gloss ratings:
Intensive polish PO85RD 3.01 or 3.02 Cut 3.5 Gloss 3
Final Finish PO106FF or FA Cut 2.5 Gloss 5
Final Finish PO85RD Cut 1.5 Gloss 5+
Hope this helps, and yes Daffy many hobbiest only use a PC however my issue was the original blanket statement, but I'm glad you clarified it

Can't and won't give an estimate as all cars are different. The only way to tell how much clear you have to work with is to use a ptg. It is far to risky to guess as you don't know anything about the car. Even new cars have had bumps repaired at the dealers that people are unaware of because they are fixed.
