Every since I first contacted Richard, who knows how long ago, I've been using Prima swirl amigo then epic. (i love amigo...)

All these products work great! I even threw some banana gloss on my mini it looks great

I was just curious to see if anyone has switched from or to Menzerna SIP/IP/106 as opposed to Swirl/amigo

I might pick some up and give them a try, if i dont like them, then that just means I must load up on more prima

 

I used the Menzerna "Intensive Polish", "Final Polish II", and "Full Molecular Jacket" synthetic sealant before switching to Prima. I got about the same results with both brands, but I thought the Prima was easier to use. Specifically, I find that Menzerna IP is prone to separating and "chunking up" after sitting on the shelf only a short while. And it's very hard to get it re-mixed, even after shaking the heck out of it for several minutes.

 

Ill prob stick to Prima, its a shame epic stains trim tho =[ more work haha

 

BW takes care of that!!

I just detailed Molly this weekend, 2 day ordeal, Sat. interior, Sun. exterior. Swirled all windows and clear plastic, buffed off and yes it impacted the black trim in numerous places, just used Black Wow and no more residue.

 

Although I know we all love to try different polishes, results will vary greatly by your own techniques.

Recently I had a student of mine take on a job, it was his first rotary job and lets just say to make this simple, that we both unknowingly submitted quotes to the customer and he got the job, lol.

Anyways, my student calls me up and says he's having trouble polishing the paint of a black BMW X5. It seems strange to me, since BMW paint is fairly easy to polish, and knowing that Jet Black is soft, shouldn't present any particular challenges.

He tells me he tried Prima, Menzerna, and Meguiar's and none would get the results he expected.

Since I love challenges, I went to visit him at the job site, watched him work, then I polished an area using Prima, an LC White Pad, and my rotary and after showing him what were trouble spots on this car, and showing him that I could achieve the nearly flawless finish he desired using the same chemicals, pads, and tools he was amazed.

Point being that extreme situations might call for different polishing systems but quite often it just requires a different technique. It takes time to master any system and gain the confidence that it will do what you expect it to do.

I haven't found any paint that Prima couldn't polish. It's still my "go to" polish for every car I work on.

I worked on a Lincoln Mark LT a few days ago, and the customer, a detailing enthusiast was floored that his dark silver truck looked better than it ever did with Meguiar's.
