Which Menzerna Polish and Wax?

[CC268]

I keep hearing amazing things about Menzerna so I figure I might order some product...however they have so many products I am just not sure what to get?

What would be the best polish for paint that is in good - excellent condition? (maybe something similar to Megs M205)
Any suggestions on a good wax/sealant?

Thanks!

I am thinking maybe SF3800 and Powerlock??

That's a good combo; you could go with 3500 also for a little more cut, I'm not really sure how 205 slots in with 3500 and 3800, but I'm sure there's been a thread about it if you can find it.

EDIT: Here's a thread, back when 3500 & 3800 were 4000 & 4500: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/96346-m205-sf4000.html?highlight=M205

Hmm yea...I would like to hear some more feedback on 3500 vs 3800

I haven't used the new 3500 & 3800, but I believe they're the same as 4000 & 4500, which I have used. They're both superb finishing polishes, but 3500 at least has a little bit of cut. 3500 is probably more versatile because you'll at least be able to correct some imperfections.

I believe 3500 is slightly newer technology than 3800 and you'll have less chances of dusting. I think 3500 and Power-lock would be the combo you're looking for. I asked a similar question months ago, and that's where I was led.

I don't know if that's right; I don't know if these polishes have really changed since they were PO106FA/FF and PO85RD. Maybe they came out a year from each other, but that was 10-12 years ago anyway.

Only the numbers have changed with Menzerna polishes over the last few years.

Cool looks like the 3500 might be the way to go.

Looks like Powerlock is more popular than the color lock

How did we get from Power Lock to Color Lock? Power Lock is a sealant, Color Lock is a wax.

Power Lock is a sealant, & sealants last a lot longer than carnauba. Power Lock is an excellent sealant, pretty much my go-to sealant. I have Color Lock, & I'll top Power Lock with it from time to time. I like topping sealant with wax. Some say it doesn't add anything, others argue it does. I've done it to try & add a bit more depth & gloss.

Ahh sorry - was on my phone browsing and didn't pay attention. sorry.

Anyways...I just bought SF3500 and Powerlock - excited to try these. Good grief in the past week I have bought Megs M205, SF3500, Powerlock, McKees Paint Coating and McKees Paint Coating Polish...this is addicting and I don't even detail that often lol...:buffing:

SF4000 and SF3500 are not just a name change no matter what anyone else says. I have both, 4000 is more purple and paste consistency whereas 3500 is grey and more gel like akin Rupes.
