    Menz is really good stuff, ordered super finish (on back order) and power lock, can't wait to try that combo.

    It's been kinda chilly for the southwest area.
    Thank you Steve. He was in shock what I was able to do within a one day job and one step correction. Since I was going to use BL as an AIO/LSP I took my correction a step further, hence the orange heavy cutting pad instead of the blue light cutting Hybrid pad.

    I was standing there looking at my 50/50 on the fender as was blown away at what I was able to correct and the degree that FG400 was able to finish too. I really wish I would have just stopped and took those pictures. Man what a hard lesson to learn.

    Did you order SF4000 or SF4500? Let me know how you like PL

    I just received a quart as well and I havent had anytime to play with it yet. I still havent had a chance to mess with the Butter wet wax! Between doing a few details and also mechanic work on the side and I really havent had the chance to play with my personal vehicles other than give them a waterless wash and QD.

    Great job Mike...
    I never would have guessed that an aggressive (to me) compound,
    such as FG400, could finish down so superbly!!

    Like others have mentioned: I reckon I gotta get me some.

    Thanks Bob.

    I would have never thought FG400 could finish out so nice either but when really working this product, 6 or more passes with just the weight of the 3401 is when the paint was really becoming clear.

    You will be surprised at the level of finishing ability with such an aggressive compound.

    Nice job!
    German car, german machine, german polishes...what a great combination!

Also using it on my 3401 with my heavy orange 5 inch hybrid cutting pad will give almost all the correction you could as for and working it to say 8-10 passes and you are very close to being LSP ready. I would work it to 4-6 passes minimum but you can clearly see the longer you work it the better it gets. If you are short on time or doing a one step BL or any AIO will have the ability to finish out what was left that FG400 couldnt finish to. I was doing 6 minimum and up to 10 passes to really get LSP ready surface.

    Very good summary.
    I really don't need a compound but this one is making me...trigger happy!

    Thank you RMM. I am German product nut. Now that I have my 3401 and recently moved to Menzerna I couldnt be happier.

    Trust me, you NEED this compound in your life. Lol

    It cut very well and finished nicely. I didnt do multiple section passes as there was really no need. Just the initial 6-8 passes and moved on.

    Thanks. The owner thought I repainted the car.
