If I ONLY had these 3 polishes, I would be 100% good to go! They all work great with rotaries and DA's.

Compound = M105(great cut, great finish)

Polish = Menz Power Finish(medium polish, also a great 1-step)

Finish = Menz 85rd(to get that last bit of gloss, also great on soft paint).


I threw all my other polishes away!!!!!!

I think I'd swap M105 for M101 based on what I've read about it from KB and others who've used it.... but otherwise I totally agree with you. In about 98% of situations those are great choices.

Is M101 available in the US of A? :confused:

I've gone pretty much DA/MF discs at this point. I plan on focusing totaling on perfecting them and proper technique. For compounding I like M105/D300 combo; for polishing I love Optimum hyper polish or their new polish II with MF cutting disc, and for finishing I'll put up the new Optimum Finishing Polish with their new MF finishing disc against anything....thanks to Optimum the issue with finishing or jeweling with a DA/MF combo has now been solved.

SEMA will most likely bring out many new polishes that are DA/MF friendly.

I'm surprised not to see M205 in that lineup??

M205 doesn't have enough cut for a medium polish. It's a nice finishing polish, but doesn't finish well on some soft paints. It's a good polish, generally speaking, but doesn't fit into my line up. :)

I see. Im going to have to remember the Menz in my next order.
All I have at the moment is pinnacle advanced swirl,dodo lime prime and the m205 for polishes

Not officially, but I know Kevin Brown has been using it as he's posted about it in the past. Says it cuts more than 105 and finishes better, but it also dusts as much or more than 105. I've also read some information about it on some European-based forums that seems to go along with that assessment.

I've been trying to see about importing a gallon; found a seller in Italy that appears to be related to PBMG in some way. They sell Pinnacle, DP, and Cobra product lines as well. Haven't contacted them yet about whether they can ship to the US or not.

I need to find me the right pad product combo. I am having a hell of a time figure the right combo to cut and then to polish.....there's so many products and pads.

Agree. Although it's going to be different for every car and paint.

I have read that many forum members use Power Finish as a one step polish. From you experience does it finish down as nice as Super Finish PO106FA?

Is Menz power finish # PO 203? Can you use MF pad with 105, 205, Mens power and super finish, etc?
