Ultimate shine?
Good morning all, just wondering if there are any members who have used a product called Menzerna. If so what were your results? Were you satisfied? I am always looking for a new product that will give outstanding results, so if there is something that worked well for you please chime in!

I use mender power lock super easy to apply and remove. I also use Ultima paint plus protection you wipe it on and thats it no removal you can check it on you tube

I like Zaino but there are other out that give good results. I will admit that Pewter doesn't show a shine like the darker colors do.

Menzerma has a great line of products. I have used their products for paint correction, but for ultimate shine I like Zaino Clear Sealant topped with Z8.

I use Turtle Wax Ice on my car and it provides a very nice shine. I have also used products from Adam’s Polishes - quality stuff there too.

Just completed my first clay-bar and wax using Meguiar's and am very pleased with the final product. Clay took off all sorts of yuck and now the shine is good. Question though, when I take it to a car show or between waxes, is there a spray on wipe off that I can use to freshen the look?

I like Griots and Meguires products but there are a lot of good products available. I can't imagine that there is much difference between them all except packaging and marketing. I think that the results are based on preparation and on the person's ability. Besides, none of them will protect your paint from a stone chip.

Used a random orbital with Menzerna to restore my wife's black C5 paint several years ago. Check out the thread I posted about it.

Ed, I remember when you detailed your wife's Black C5. You are meticulous in everything you do and it shows.

I have never used the products the op mentioned, but I use plumber's putty as my clay bar, then turtle wax.
Once a week, I spray on Meguair's ultimate detail.
Both the pickup and the Vette get the same treatment.

I have used several of the Menzerna Polishes over the years for paint correction, then followed with Zaino.
