What do you guys think of this combo for swirl removal and finishing polish?

That combo has been shown to work.

 

This combination removes 2000 grit scratches and produces a refined finish
1. Menzerna Power Finish PO203S on a (LC) Green pad
2. Menzerna Final Polish PO85RD on a (LC) Black pad

 

Never used it.....rely more so on opinions as they relate to firsthand experience vs. someones business profits.

 

How is those Menzerna for drying/working time and dusting?

Used some a few years back and it was horrible.

 

Menz polishes don't contain fillers so they don't 'dust that much, they also contain oil/wax as a surface lubrication, so they have a fairly long work time.

 

menz polishes are pretty sensitive to humidity. if humidity is high then it will stick to paint and is little hard to get off (using IPA will do the trick).
they are great polishes however id go with SIP and 106 from menzerna. 106 can be used even as one step, only difference between 106 and 85rd is 106 has double the abrasives of 85 so it cuts better but finishes the same once polish brakes down, therefore probably has longer working time.
you can use them with different pad combos to achive optimal cutting/finish result

 

I guess it depends on a number of things. Your car, how bad the swirls are, etc.

It's a great working combo on my TSX for minor swirl removal (P203s) and then jeweling (P085rd). If I need some more aggressive I move to SIP.

In general though I like Menzerna. I haven't used any other brand on polish so my advice/opinion may be a little shallow, but I can't say anything bad about them.

 

I mean my paint isnt that bad. I have been using proper washing techniques. Mild swirls like you said. What pads do you use on your TSX? I was thinking orange and blue pads.
