    Looking to buy a few Menzerna polishes-

    Does this sound about right?

    Powergloss to Intensive polish to super finish?

    It works but you have 2 Medium-cut polishes in there. Consider this sequence as it hits Heavy, Medium and Light categories.

    IS1500 to PF2500 to SF4500

    1500 is just a mix of 2 products. Why not use powergloss?

    Re: Looking to buy a few Menzerna polishes-

    I like what the Intensive Polish (IP2000) can do, but its a total pain the arse to work with for the small amount of corrections it does. I find that working the product is similar to Megs 105 when making the first few passes on the car. It dries quickly, sticks to the paint worse than 105 and isn't worth it IMO.

    Once it has thoroughly worked its way into the pad (even after priming) then its not a big deal. But every time. Every, single, time, when I get ready to use it, I prepare myself for the headache that the next 20 minutes have in store for me.

    1500 to 2500 to 4500 I would try out. If 1500 isn't aggressive enough for you then step it up to powergloss, but PG1000 is a wrecking ball that I'd save for those vehicles in desperate need of help.

    SIP, Nano, and 085rd work well in unison. Might need something more powerful like Powergloss also.

    So I know pf has lots of oils in it. Is nano and 085rd similar? I don't know why I'm set on not using SIP...

    I like using SIP then Nano (106fa). I agree with the above poster that IP is difficult to use and SIP helps with that.
    I have since switched to MF pads and d300 and then follow up with Nano or even 85rd.
