Got a job coming up, paint has never been touched. Wondering on what you guys would recommend as a good final polish really wanna make this car look wet. Probably gonna use Xmt series to remove any swirls and might try opti coat 2.0

I've had great success with the menzerna line on mercedes paint. You can get pretty good results 1 stepping the paint with SIP and an orange lc flat pad.

I was just looking at there polishes as you were typing lol

Do you use a rotary or orbital?

I've worked on them with a GG 6" and my Makita 9227cx3. Pad choice depends on the machine I feel like using that day. With the rotary, I normally use 5.5" uber pads and with the GG 6" I use LC 5.5" and 4" pads depending on the day and car.

Do you use your gg6" to take out swirls? I just got the same one and found in back breaking trying to get swirls out with it, I went straight back to the dewalt 849 for most swirls then polish or glaze with the gg6"

I love using menzerna nano (106fa) on black cars for ky finish and jeweling polish. I'll use it with a white pad and then follow up with a black pad for the final. Then ill lsp it with either souveran paste or Fuzion (been using Fuzion more just for ease of use recently)
