ok.. so I am finally done with the polishing of my car. I used Menz medium cut 2500 with an orange pad with the Griots Boss 21. The paint looks much much better.
I WAS planning on going over the whole thing with Menz SF3500 just to get it as good as possible because I am going to put a coating on it and expect it to be on there for 3 to 5 years.
I do know that the Menz is a diminishing polish that breaks down. So maybe it broke down a finished out enough.... but if thats the case then WHY do they make a SF3500 polsih??
HOWEVER when using the Menz SF3500 I noticed the it has A LOT of oils in it. Which made it a pain to wipe off. Also it seemed like it was just more oils to worry about taking off before the coating. Which I did use IPA of 25% ... twice on that one panel I applied the coating to today to because I'm a little impatient.
soooo would anyone here do that final polish just to do it and squeeze out and bit of clarity as possible or just skip it.
orrr is there an actual fine polish that doesn't have so much oil in it? I do have Megs M205 and HD polish+ which I might try ... but I dont think either are as fine cut as the Menz SF3500 is.
so any suggestions? I am really trying to decide what to do before I put a 5 year coating on the paint. Kinda trying to stay away from the good enough or if you cant tell a difference. Well I might not be able to tell but overall as a whole in the sun with the coating there may be a difference from not doing that last finer polish step.
