Hearing alot of good things about Mezerna. Do you guys think its too much for regular clears? I'm curently using 3M and Optimum products.

klumzypinoy - hahaha yea the taping was fun, the owner is really picky so I went the extra mile besides he was helping me. I agree the tag team combo was wicked, we chatted up a storm and go to know each other better. It was fun.

sparkie - Thank you buddy, yea it was long. The owner wanted it flawlesly and he is really anal with his car so I took my time. I didn't charge for the detail and the owner really wanted to help so I figured why not with they Cyclo there is no way he could ruine what I was doing.

chu - Menzerna is a really good product strong but good. You don't really need to use the strong compund you can go light but the Final Polish II that is sweet. It leaves the paint flawless, removes all minor scratches and anything else that I may have missed. Such a good product.


By the way I just double checked with the owner and it's a 2002 not a 2001 like I posted hahahaha my bad.

Good work!

Did you use 3000grit papers to follow up that 2000?

Do you think we will need 3000?

Hey sneek,

I used 2000 grit and then went over it with Menzerna PO106FF and it removed all of the sanding. I've been trying to get my hands on 3000 grit but no luck just yet. We should be okay with 2000 grit sneek.

Looking forward to it buddy.

Thank you for the compliment, we (owner and I) are quite pleased with the results.

No wonder you guys were blown away with the look. She looks great. That was smart turning the owner loose with the Cyclo. Bet he'll be back. In fact you probably got him hooked on detailing. Dial 1-800-AG.
PS: You're getting good with that wetsanding.

CalgaryDetail - Yea I took lots of pictures, I wanted to show the dramatic transformation his baby would be going through lol. Yes, I agree it makes the write up more enjoyable, helps to illustrate the result. Thank you for the compliments, owner has fallen in love with his vehicle again.

Jimmie - You got it buddy, he loved the Cyclo. He was amazed at how easy it was to do the vehicle with the Cyclo. Yup, he's hooked he's already looking at purchasing something’s here hahahaha. He just ordered some rims for the vehicle too and I told him about the P21S I ordered to clean rims and he's all pumped for me to receive it and use it. Oh he'll be back you can count on it. hahahaha it was all strategies hahahaha teasing he's a good friend and he's always helping me out. Besides who am I pass out on detailing a convertible. I'm getting more comfortable with the wet sanding and I'm really happy with the results so far. Thanks for the kind words, greatly appreciated.

Nica ,you did a nice a job its always nice to see how the color Red pops after a good detail..

I like that fact that you had CSI come out and inspect the paint before the prep lol

Fantastic work, Nica - 40 hours though? EGADS! No way. I would have had to break it up. Great to have a helper though!!! I enjoyed your write up - I learned somethings that will be useful in the future.
You rock!
Keep up the terrific work!!!
