Re: Holograms on the Merc!!

That's why we're here. Hope I've helped you in some way, and I hope you can get your car to where you want it. Don't forget to share some follow-up pictures with us.

Thanks a bunch Shane for your time answering my questions. I've done some reading on the Menzerna and I think I'm going to order me some! I will certainly share pics when I'm done!

Re: Holograms on the Merc!!

I took Shane's advice and ordered some Menzerna PO85RD and some gray LC pads for the micro marring I was having some trouble with. Remember, I had tried M205 again, Swirl X, Color X and some M07 and it got better, but didn't take the marring away completely.

Now that I remember, even though I did M105/M205 on the top of the car, below the trim I did only M205 because there weren't many defects and it still micro marred. I love M205, but I think the M205 is just a bit much for the paint and I think this car has some very soft, sensitive paint.

Today I finally was able to get out (better weather/sun) and do some polishing with the Menzerna and I was very pleased. I think the Menzerna/LC gray pad was just the gentle touch the car needed.

This was the micro marring prior to the PO85RD:



The left half done with Menzerna, right half not touched yet:


Door finished:


There's the guy I'm doing this for (my Dad! )


Half n' half shot of the hood:


Another half n' half of the hood:


PERFECT!!!! ('scuse my dust...)


And there she is all done!



Shane ~ I'm in debt to you!!! Thank you VERY, VERY much for your recommendation. As you can see, it worked out wonderfully!

Thanks again for everyone's suggestions!!

That's a money shot baby


It would appear as if this car has really soft paint. The 205 seems, maybe too aggressive.
