Abrasive polish....worth it?

(1/2) > >>

Boothy:
Hi there. Has anyone ever used Menzerna - Final Finish Polish, in particular on a red golf? I recently used some lusso pre wax cleaner which has made the car look lush however I can still see some swirls.
 Having looked into it a little it talks about how hard a clear coat is and not all flat colours having one!? I wanna give it a go by hand but don't want to end up rubbing through the paint altogether and I'm curious how effective these abrasive polishes are when applies by hand rather than by machine.

Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ta, Boothy.

Menzerna polishes are great but very fussy. Apply when too cold or too warm and they don't breakdown as well. Hence it's best applied by machine.

The pro detailers on here can advice you on handpolishes. Try Autoglym Super Resin polish for hand polishing. Supposedly gives very good results.

Wouldnt touch menzerna without a machine. Awesome awesome stuff though when used right!

AG super resin isnt abrasive its a filler. Something like megs step1 or sonus ssx1 is good for hand polishing, then follow with step 2 or ssx2 to bring back the shine, then a glaze to add the depth then a sealant and/or wax  :happy2:

I use Mez range of polishes as well as Sonus stuff.

Great with a machine, never tried with by hand.

Boothy:
So could I use the sonus ssx1, followed by my existing lusso cleaners/polish and then the lusso wax? I just want something I can use to get rid of the swirls but continue to use my lusso products as I've been impressed with the results.
