After seeing how well the Menzerna worked on getting the waterspots from hell out of my black paint, I moved on Tom's (bluesbrekr) recommendation and bought the Menzerna kit from Proper Auto Care:

Menzerna Get Acquainted Kit MEN-GAK 1 19.95
Triple Duty Detail Brush X1130 1 2.95
Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze MEN-FTG16 1 12.95

Subtotal 35.85
Shipping 7.95
Tax 0.00
Total 43.80

Decently priced and I know that this stuff is going to make my car look ridiculously awesome. The get acquainted kit comes with a 9oz bottle of the Intensive Polish, a 9oz of the Final Polish II, two microfiber polishing pads, and two buffing pads.

The products should be here by Wednesday and I am sure I will hit the car that night. I will post pics as soon as I am done and when the car looks like it just came off the showroom floor.

 

That's a good choice. If you have a PC, they will work nicely. With a rotary, the results are stellar.

 

I figured you'd be getting some soon, Lance. With any polish always try the least abrasive first. Only move to the more abrasive if the first one didn't do the job.

If you can, try to locate a PC. It will speed up the job and you'll have fewer sore muscles. If not, get the aspirin out, cause that's a lot of hand polishing. Be sure to apply a protective layer after the polish. Any polish will remove any wax or acrylic sealer already on the car.

Can't wait to see the pics!

 

I plan to buy some Menzerna Power Gloss after I get my rotary.

 

Yea, I wish I could afford the PC right now, but again, with two other very expensive purchases in front of it on the list (new struts, new tires), I just can't fit it into the budget right now.

On to the protective coat, I am a religious Meguiars user but am thinking that the NXT I normally use for the wax may conflict with the menzerna finishing touch glaze since apparently the NXT may have cleaning agents in it. I think I will most likely just follow up the Menzerna 3 step with Meguiars Yellow Carnauba. I would like to use the NXT, but just am not sure. Furthermore, I have my TFP that I will most likely apply as well (Total Finish Protection -- polymer sealant) right after the finishing touch and then go on to the wax.

 

Didn't get much time to use it tonight, but on the small test area I sampled, the system worked amazingly and topped with Meguiars yellow carnauba wax made for an excellent combination! Pics to come once the car is finished!
