Menzerna Polishing Compounds of Germany has set new standards for workability, uniformity, performance, and quality. Why else would Mercedes Benz use Menzerna polishes to perfect the finishes on their brand new vehicles?

is it okay to use the nano polish on any finish?

I have been looking at the menz polishes, and the nano has a gloss of 5/5, so of course that is the one i want, but is it okay to use on all types of finishes(new cars, old cars, and otherstuff like that)?

I would be very careful on soft clearcoats .. like Nissan. Others will find the ceramic technology just allows the use of one polish versus two. Before you would need SSR 2.5 and 1.0 to get the polishing and finishing nano can do by itself.

I thought 106FF had less or similar cut to FPII and was one of the least aggressive polishes ?? I'm asking because 1, I've finished fine with FPII before, and 2, what polish would you go to in such a case, least aggressive than 106FF ??

Final Polish has a cut level of 3 and gloss 4, where PO106FF cut lever of 2.5 gloss 5. PO106FF can work on all clearcoat, I'd be carefull with soft ones.
It (PO106FF) works very well on domestic and German cars.

That question is asking for too much... no matter what car, the condition of the paint is what matters, and how hard that paint is to correct.

You should start with the least abrasive pad/polish combo you have, and go from there.

If you're wondering what to buy, buy 3-4 polishes from the same manufacturer (such as PG, SIP, 106FF from Menzerna) and buy a pad or two with 2-3 different cutting power...
