The words from the Menzerna rep was that 106FA just has 2x the "powder" to reduce cutting time. It just supposedly works faster but same gloss.

It needs to break down and become sort of transparent. Because of humidity it depends on how many passes.

That's what the Menzerna rep told me too last year at DF 5. I've used both and I haven't noticed any difference in finish. Those who claim to notice a difference will probably be the same people who can tell the difference between two sealants like Wolfgang and Powerlock. I am not one of those people.

good to know. I'll just stick with the 16 oz bottle of 106fa which will probably still last me a few years

+ those who says that "polish X" gives a more wet look and "polish Y" give a more glossy and reflective look.
