I got some Menzerna Powerlock from CYC last week, and have used it on every car I've done since (paretns, GF, neighbours etc) and I must say, it's one of the nicest LSP's I've ever used.
It speads like a liquid wax, you can leave it as long as you want and it buffs off with absolute ease, it sheets like a sealant, beads like a wax and has a nice 'glow' to it, unlike most sealants, which can look a bit sterile and plasticky on some colours.
Few pics today on my Golf:
(excuse the quality, they are iPhone pics!!)

Looks incredible... wonder what it's like on light coloured cars?

I think I'm doing Al's GTI next Friday, which is Silver, so I'll let you know!
Not used it on a light car yet, they have all been dark metallics.

Looks good, i have been considering this stuff myself :smiley:
-
Can't wait to see how this makes mine look, obviously won't be as reflective, but sure it will look great.
-
I ordered mine. Cleanyourcar is the cheapest. Got it next day delivery. Can't wait to try it out once I strip back the P21s

Hi!
Do you guys think this stuff would work applied by hand too? Don't have any know-how to use a machine even if I did manage to get one so I'll just leave that to the professionals :)
The gloss on your car is just amazing! Even photoshop can't get my car that shiny :happy2:

Menzerna powerlock is applied by hand dude, it wipes off with ease too, much easier than most sealants out there.
I used it for the first time at the wkend on merc slk Amg in black with superb results - very impressed
-
As above, I used it by hand.
Did a Jag S=Type with it at the weekend - looked superb too.
Doing Al's GTI on Friday too.
-
As above, I used it by hand.
Doing Al's GTI for free on Friday too as he is the lab rat for the day
Look forward to seeing you work your magic. And for free too , thanks :drool:

Here's what can be done with silver... although it was machine polished a few weeks before over 2-3 days....!!!
