With the 5 year anniversary sale, I was deciding whether to pick up the Blackfire Duo or the Wolfgang Duo?
Which would be better for a beginner using a PC 7427XP?
Pads I have are LC orange and white flat-pads and Meg's MF compounding/polishing pads.

Which one of these brands would work better with Meg's MF pads?

I was also wondering where the Blackfire polishes/compounds line up with this wax chart Autogeek Swirl Removers & Compounds Comparison Chart (http://www.auto-geek.net/charts/wax-cut-chart-master.htm)

You couldn't go wrong with either honestly, but my personal preference is Blackfire Duo. Then again if you have Megs Compounding/polishing pads there is really no need for either WG or BF.

Get a bottle of D300 and possibly a finishing polish, someone will recommend one here that knows a larger variety of polishes than I have tried, Hope this helps!.

thanks. I was leaning towards the Blackfire since I have their Crystal Sealant and TnPS. Would it be wrong to use Blackfire SRC Compound with the Megs MF compounding pads? I just want to take advantage of the deal that's on sale right now.

If you're leaning towards Blackfire I would purchase it and get a free sample of Wolfgang. Remember, each time you spend $50, you get a 4oz sample. I acquired the twins this way.

I know that they are on sale, but I'd use a duo that's more well known like megs 105/205 or menz fg400 and sf4500. I'm waiting til april to buy a bunch of stuff. April has to have a 15 or 20% easter sale.

that's a great idea with the sample. I'll do that.

I have Megs ultimate compound. Not sure how that relates to the M105.

I know the M105/205 are well what most use but I just wanted to try something different.

I won't be able to order from AG for awhile though since I don't often go to the states and shipping to Canada is pretty expensive

I've never used the BF, but the WG is my GP to combo.

Would Menzerna Fast Gloss Compound (FG-400) and Menzerna Super Finish (SF-4000) combo be enough for me? The SF-4500 is a bit more expensive but I can get the above combo for $42 which is a pretty good deal.

I just used the FG400 and SF4000 on my moms Tahoe last week. The FG400 corrected most spots on the vehicle with only a few passes. I did have a problem with it dusting but it was probably user error since its the first time I ever used a compound. The SF4000 was amazing. The gloss and depth that it brought out was incredible. Incredibly easy to use. Only a few pea sized drops was enough to do a large portion of a hood.

Decided that FG400 might be too aggressive so I order the
Menzerna SIP - Super Intensive Polish (IS 1500) PO 83 instead. I have Meg's UC if I need something more aggressive.
