At Autogeek they say it's for the hard german clear coats- Is 106FF the correct polish to use after MIP?

thx

I used ZPC after MIP, which was a nice combination and a great base for the Z sealants.

106FF (aka Nano Polish) is made for the newer ceramic clearcoats used on high end Mercedes and Maybachs. However because the Corvettes clearcoat is so hard, it actually works extremely well as a Finishing Polish. Some even suggest depending on pad, it is the only polish you really need.

Yes, I think the 106ff works excellent on the hard C5 and C6 clear coat.
