Menzerna SIP as a one step?

I tried sip for the first time yesterday on a friends black dodge magnum. The car is 2yrs old and had a fair amount of swirls. PC and a LC orange pad easily removed the swirls and left a great finish. I expected I would have to follow up with 106fa, but we could not see any reason to do the extra work. The car looked fantastic! This was done at night in my garage with good flourescent lighting and we also used halogen lighting to really scrutinize the finish.

My question is.... would 106fa made it look that much better? He was already so happy with the way it looked that he didn't want to bother with the 106fa. Maybe we need to take a better look in the sunlight? I've read that SIP required a follow up with a finer polish.

Yes, you should follow up with a finish polish. The finish polish does enhance the finish.

The SIP w/a LC orange pad will cause micro marring. I would follow it up. Espeacially with a black car. You will notice a difference after you use the 106FA.

Thats what I heard....We just couldn't see the micro marring. I guess we'll have to take a better look at it in the sun.

Re: Menzerna SIP as a one step?

The color of the pad does not matter, you should always follow up a polish with a finishing polish.

Re: Menzerna SIP as a one step?

I asked him to call me if he notices anything and he hasn't called so I guess sip is a one step as far as he is concerned.

Re: Menzerna SIP as a one step?

i would think if used with a white pad it would finish down enough to not need another polishing step....

It doesn't, like I posted above, you always need to follow up with a finishing polish on a finishing pad.I am not going to go in depth about this again, there are numerous threads on other forums and I think a few on here that explain this and the reasons why.
