    I believe it is largely based on the original Menzerna Powerlock but has had some minor tweaking done to it.

    More Menzerna Confusion...and Maybe a New Powerlock

We have been so involved in making these changes and preparing for SEMA that we did neglected to properly get the word out about Jescar Finishing Products. Here is the message that hopefully helps to explain what is happening:


    Jescar has been the representative and importer of Menzerna products since 1978 for the North American market. Jescar has been supplying buffing and polishing products and supplies to industrial finishing market such as furniture, musical instruments, metal finishing, and automotive beginning in 1999. Our concentration in the guitar market led to our development of Jescar fret wire which is now the international standard for all guitar manufacturers. Our work in the automotive market began with supplying the OEM assembly plants with newly developed polishes that proved to be great performers against the major existing supplier. We entered the detailing market by introducing some of Menzerna's OEM polish formulations, and the products were very well accepted by the detailing community. We soon realized that having only a medium compound and a polish were too limited, so we worked with various international chemical companies to develop our own high performance products that were not available from Menzerna. The result was our Power Lock polymer sealant, followed by Paint Refresh detail spray and Color Lock carnauba wax, all sold under the MenzernaUSA brand as supplements to the core Menzerna polishing compounds. With the success of these MenzernaUSA products and requests to expand the line further, we made the decision to rebrand the MenzernaUSA products under our Jescar company name. The result is our new brand name, Jescar Finishing Products. This decision coincided with the new Menzerna labeling program which was necessary to create an international labeling standard that did not exist before.


    With the rebranding to Jescar we took the opportunity to improve the Power Lock with additional advanced polymers, and now the product is known as Power Lock Plus. Color Lock and Paint Refresh will remain the same formulations as before. We are nearing completion of our development of additional new detailing products that will be introduce in 2016. This will expand our Jescar Finishing Products offering to provide a complete system of Menzerna polishing compounds with innovative detailing products from Jescar.


    We are working on the redesign of the Jescar website which will have two major sections: Jescar products for the guitar/musical instrument market and Jescar Finishing Products for compounds and detailing products.


    I hope that this explanation provides some insight into our new direction and would be glad to answer any questions about our new product lineup.

    zmcgovern45 thank you for reposting my previous reply.

    Power Lock was actually a MenzernaUSA product that we introduced to the detailing market. After Menzerna requested to offer this product to customers outside of the North American market, we decided to relaunch our MenzernaUSA products under our Jescar Finishing Products brand. The Power Lock Plus is an improved version of the MenzernaUSA Power Lock with additional polymers for extra durability and longevity.

    Hope this information is helpful.

    Re: Jescar Power Lock Plus same as Menzerna Power Lock

    Hi guys

    Just reviving this old thread as I’m keen to try the Powerlock+ and Collinite 845 combo.

    What goes on first?

    What do you use to apply for each one? I.e. foam applicator pad? Microfiber applicator pad?

    I've just tried it once. I know some swear they can tell the difference but I couldn't see any improvement by topping powerlock with collonite.
