Its IN da HOUSE (review further down this post)

Got a Speeeed delivery from AG (3 days from USA to my arms) FedEx rocks

So now i wounder? witch picture does the Menzerna look its best?

This one with a leader type:

Or this one, everybody in line, like a team:

Im not using any of this stuff, im going to have them on my shelf and look at them and think "one day, Mr M, one day"

OK, im not that strong, so after around 5 min on the shelf, one was taken down, the PP 106FF, out went the rotary and my brand new ccs pads.

I had a Black Audi A4 for wash, and what better than test something German on something German.

I did a full detail on this car not long ago, and in that post i said i got out around 90% of the swirls, so why not remove the rest 10% and get it 100%, deliver a better than new car back to owner. I did not do the whole car, just hood, fenders and driversside door (not enough time)

The PO 106FF was my first Menzerna Product in the bucket at AG, that was the one i had got the best feedbacks on, and its normal for "the one" to go first.

Orange CCS pad and this works pretty well, its not that much cut in it, but it surley got out the swirls, no problem working it either. what i didnt remove was scratches i feel with my fingernails. PO 106FF can be used with wool pad or foam. Apply pressure untill swirls/scratches is gone, then lighten up the pressure and buff to gloss. (on bottle) Tryed both orange and white pad, and i did like the white/106FF best, but for heavyer cutting the orange is a good deal.

Next out was the Sealing wax APO 60 what caught my attension was that on the bottle it says "wool or foam pad" Sealer and wool??? In mot pro so im NOT trying that combo

The APO60 is truly WOW stuff, easy on, easy off, good worktime (some dusting, but may just be user error) Good gloss, durability? Ill let you know in some weeks/months, As a Bonus it also corrects pretty good too

As said, i used a Rotary polisher, but next will be the 106FF and APO60 with the PC, got faith in that too.

Oh, almost forgott the pics (sorry didnt have time to so manny, had one more car to do after)

The next ones are correction of the back fender with "just" APO60 and blue CCS pad (rotary)

After

Its almost gone, whats left is deep scratches, and i dont push my luck using to much rotary on plastic fenders (made mistakes with that combo before!!) Have in mind that the APO60 is a "sealer wax", but it also corrects.

I cant blame my cam for some bad pics, but it did have problems with the focus because of gloss and flakes, it didnt focus right on many of the pics, and it reflections of cam etc did look like haze on many pics, so those was the best ones ive got...

Ill say i def got a new brand im seriously impressed with.

Tryed 2 out of 5, so im testing some more later.

Thanks for sharing Truls. Definetly impressive. Nice to know since I've always felt 90%-95% was about the best it was going to get.

Good lineup there Truls! I'm starting to use the Menzerna line myself. I started with their compound and glaze on the silver BMW and the "real" test with be an up-coming black 745.

Nice job sir! Looks like you have some nice weather across the pond.

I vote for this one...I like the group hanging out together ;)

That is a very nice order you got there.

Looks like you got wicked results with 106FF and the wax...that wax looks impresive.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice Truls. Love that hood reflection.
I'm just waiting for the UDM to be released so i can get me one along with some Menzerna.
BTW Did you get your clay yet? Mine arrived on Friday. This clay rocks.

Truls, NICE! You are definitely set now for a while (at least, until something else better comes out!). Love the pics of the products.

Almost 90f here yesterday.

I will correct myself from 100% to 99% regarding the swirl/scratch removal (theres no "perfect" ten imo)

I got to get me a bader looking test subject for more testing of this stuff

The only thing you're missing is the glaze, but it doesn't look like it could be improved upon (although only one way to find out). BTW I love the 1st shot. Is that with a small aperture # like 2.8 or is it a larger #? I always get confused about that. I love the look of the background being out of focus..I think it adds to the subject. Nice shot indeed!

Looks great Truls! What happen to your P21s Bodywork Shampoo? I hope you weren't drinking that stuff again. I'm looking forward to trying out my Menzerna but I'm not sure when I will find the time
