    Menz FMJ

    Can it be followed up with a paste wax? Is it even necessary? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Re: Menz FMJ

    I have some that I bought 2 years ago. It is very slick after the application, but I find it doesn't last very long at all. I still need to use up what I have left. I follow it up with a coat of Collinite 476 and that combo looks great and protects. I wouldn't mind trading the remainder of what I have, I prefer to use DG stuff now. Hope that helps.

    FMJ is not bad on dor jambs, but overall durability is poor. this stuff is pricey too.

    This is not a true Menzerna product. Just their name is used here.

    I've used it and it gives one of the slickest finishes I've ever felt........for about 2 hours. Very poor durability. Maybe two coats is is the key.

    I was in the market for FMJ. As far as the not a true Menzerna product I read that in these forums as well, however on another forum I read that it is a product mfg by Menzerna. Since we are on the FMJ topic, is Pinnacle Souveran Paste more durable? I have read that it also does not have much in the way of durability.

    If you hv FMJ and polycharger combine them for more durability. I am one of the few that had pretty good durability with this product. HGAS also worked great after washes but some say it streaks.
    DG105 is cheaper and more durable if you are in the market for a sealant.

    Pinnacle Souveran paste is a beauty wax and designed for shows. It can be kept up for several weeks using a Pinnacle wash and qder.

    FMJ is a paint sealant, not a wax. It falls off rather quickly in slickness but sure it protects a little longer overall. It is NOT a Menzerna product as noted, it is a relabeled product from CMA that was allowed (authorized) by Menzerna to use name on bottle. There is a little warning on bottle of note too ...

    Re: Menz FMJ

    I will have to agree the slickness is unmatched at first but its durability sucks.I have now gone back to caranubas and do not care if i wax once a week.I have to admit i love pinnacle souveran even though i have to apply twice a month.
    No more supercharger,i now have twin turbo,s.
