Need some help with polishes and wax

**Larson7.62** · 08-03-2008 02:07 AM

I just purchased a brand new Black (I know...) A4 and have been bitten by the perfectionist bug. I really would like to keep the car looking brand new. It already has some light swirls from the autowash the dealer put it through, so I will need a polish for my PC to take care of it. I am stuck between these lines:

-Adam's
-Menzerna
-1z

Which one would be the best for my situation? If it is Menzerna, which polish would do the job?

Also, if I get the 1z Glanz wax, can I apply it with my PC?

Thanks for your help!

Stick with Menz and 1z. Id say SIP and 106FF. Yes you can apply glanz with the PC.

So the SIP will not hurt my new paint? I thought it was meant for deeper scratches or older paint.

Plus is there just one I could get away with? It gets really expensive when I am also buying everything else to detail my car.

just looked at the price for the 106FF, and there is no way I can afford $150 for a finishing polish right now. Is there something I can use in its place after the SIP? Perhaps the Micro Polish?

Are the 1z polishes not as good? The Adam's?

Need an answer ASAP as I plan on ordering tonight.

If you just have light swirling the 1Z paint polish should be plenty to take care of them. If you want to go Menzerna, PO87MC or PO85RD should both be fine and finish off wax ready.

I use the 1Z on my Audi and it works very well and gives a nice look on the Ocean Blue.

Awesome thank you.

I think I will go with the Menzerna SIP and 85RD and finish off with the 1z Glanz wax. I'll see how that works and go from there.

Both SIP and 106FF are around $50 each. SIP will not hurt your paint.

On DD the only option I found for the 106FF was the $150 one. I just went with SIP and the 85RD instead. I think the 85RD should work, since it's cut is 1.5 or 2.

when is sip and po106fa - $150 ?

you might be looking at the gallon refills.

Menzerna SIP
Menzerna PO106FA

You can also go with

Einszett Extra
Einszett Paint Polish

Either way you go finish with Einszett Glanz.

LMK if you have more questions.

I didn't realize that the 106FA and 106FF were the same. Oh well.

I also ended up going with the Menzerna wax as well.

If it comes out bad, I'll make another order from DD for the 106FA/Glanz wax

Thank you!
