| | | I am starting to play with them, nice replacement for SSR's and Optimum. Not quite a Menzerna and a little harder to remove. Will tell more after some additional use. |

Thanks |

I definitely would not recommend it in direct sunlight; especially the 1Z HGP it dries faster than the IP, and it can be a pain to remove
The IP has a much longer working time, but no direct sunlight test by me

| | | Thanks for the info regarding the sun-friendliness. I wonder if much like Menz polishes if you add a little OP to them you could work them a little longer/get a little more sun-friendliness with them? |

I'm at altitude where the humidity is low, and the air is thin. Your results may be different than mine...

| | | remember a damp towel can help remove dried polish that is a bi-o-tch to remove by itself. |

| | | I tried the polishes the other day with my new PC. The IP had much less cut than I expected. I tried it out on a '02 ML320 with an LC orange pad - spread on 3, one pass on 6, and one pass on 5. It seems to get worked it and dry pretty fast. I was using ONR QD on the pad and in the sun.... |
