thinking of buying this this month,


gone for the one with sonus products as they seem to be simple to use sequence,

some ranges of polishes confuse me.

it says for soft to medium paints tho,
will it be ok for my saxo and leon as VAG paint is known to be quite hard, not sure about saxo paint.


thank i advance

[wadoryu]

it'll be fine with harder paints it just takes longer.

[jonezy]

cool,

sure i can just get a more aggressive one for hard paint ,

cheers

Why do you find some hard to understand??

Menzerna Pads are colour coded and the cut level of the polishes are shown on the bottles..........and imo gives a far better result than sonus. It is also going to be better for VAG Paints.

the menzerna kit is alot better than the sonus buddy, go with that, itll not take you long to pick up which polish doers wot.

thats the bit thats hard to understand,

as in you can use a low cutting polish with a high cutting pad and get mixed results,

but as hes just said im bound to pic it up, i just doint like the idea of buying something then not using half of it.


will look for a package with mernanza stuff then, cheers guys

[jonezy]

theres a mernanza kit on the same site, kit 2 it is, you only get 2 polishes with it, would i need another one just to finish, like a non-cutting gloss?

menzerna is very easy to understand....especially with this chart,

http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=316387

On i4detailing you get 2 menz polishes in the package....one is an agressive compound for removing deep swirls....the other is a finishing polish which isnt very agressive at all and basically refines the paint makes it really glossy.

Pads wise....Menz do 3 pads (in both 135mm and 75mm)

White pads....very agressive.....only really need to use them on really hard paints.

Orange polishing pads......can be used with either of the polishes you get in the package...this is the pad you will use the most.

Yellow finishing pads......the name says it all really....use these for final polishing to ensure the surface is looking great and they can be used for applying sealants if you wish.


When using a DA machine you really dont need to worry too much about what pad / polish to use straight away....play around with the different combinations and see what happens. These machines are very safe which is why i recommend them to everyone who is interested in machine polishing......in years to come when you have lots of experience and wish to go to the next level get a rotary.

Hope that helps a little.

i listened to him and i think im getting some good reults now

[jonezy]

cheers guys,

what sealants and waxes does everybody use with DA?

[jonezy]

anybody above, im ordering the polisher and merzana kit tonight

[P90PTS]

I personally use GTechniq C2 as my sealant/lsp

My wax range consists of:

Dodo SuperNatural
Dodo Purple Haze
Dodo orange crush
Collinite 476

[jonezy]

you use them all!

[P90PTS]

No not all of them.

But GTechniq C2 and a coat of Supernatural or purple haze is a win for me
