Am using the Menzerna intensive polish and the final finish polish, what have you been using Jon?

That's what i've been using for 2 years now - excellent combination when mixed with a coarse cutting pad and polishing pad. Haven't found anything yet they won't do an amazing job on.

Do you find the blue coloured one easier to work? I just find it easier to tell that it has 'gone off' and is ready to be cleaned off ready for final wax / sealant

 

[Craigus]

The blue/grey one being final finish?

Thats a cool looking carpark

Agreed looks like something from the next generation

It was posh, it was underground below Liverpools new "one" shopping centre.

The blue/grey one being final finish?

I think so - it's the one with higher gloss and less cut - if the car is only minor swirls / marks i tend to just use that one on the more agressive pad.

Yeh Final finish is what your on about, can get about 70% correction with it.

It's lovely to work with and the condition it leaves the paint in .... you can see why they call it final finish!

Some more goodies .....

Only managed to get the upper intercooler hoses, but unfortunatly the one on the right hand side (intake side) was a defective hose. But John at Forge happily sorted it out and there is a new hose on the way!!

I also fit a Jetex filter...

Many thanks John
