Bowhunter, any particular reason you like MIP better than Z-PC fusion?

I tried using Meguilar's #7 light cut with a 10" buffer, and it hit most but not all of my swirl marks. I'm hoping either the Fusion or MIP will be more successful, with my buffer, or else I may have to buy a 7424. Lots of people say you can just use your hand, so I don't see why 4,000 rpm would work better than the 3,000 I have in my buffer. But anyway, the question is whether either of the two are better than the Meguilar's #7

Thanks in advance.

The MIP seems to do more to the problem area and I really don't have to follow up with the FPII, although I do. The fusion seemed to add to the problem with slight swirls. I probably need to give it another try. I just think the MIP is the best at what it is for.

I dunno it's just not right maybe a C5 is needed in the picture somewhere. Oh and it needs to be smaller.

Did my first "summer" coat this Memorial Day weekend. Plan another two before my Napa to Colorado Springs drive in June. Bugs and road grime comes off so much easier when you have several coats of Zaino on. After the trip I'll claybar again and apply more Zaino.

When they were in St. louis a few weeks ago I sat down at Ashley and her boy friend's table at a local resterant and talked with her for a few minutes. She was very nice and didn't mind me talking with them.

Hey, why do you think he locked up the thread? Everyone was just having a laugh. Some people can't take jokes. I can, it didn't bother me.
People need to lighten up. They will live longer. We were just having a little fun. Something new. NRA meeting in St. Louis. Uncle Ted.

I can only speculate. I suppose he thought the image of mega-gal was going to offend someone. For me, it was love at first sight.

Oh, and nice pic! I can see why you're always smilin'
