What a SHINE!!!!

Used Menzerna Polish, that made a super clean car. The followed by the FMJ sealant. Man, what a shine. Easy to apply! For you guys who want to try something different give Menzerna products a try. YOU WANT BE DISAPOINTED!!
Here is the link to buy.... tell them some guy from SC told you to call.

MD--Someone else posted on FMJ not too long ago here. I'm very interested in the product. Looks expensive, though. Can you give me a breakdown of the cost? Also, just as importantly, I'd be interested to know how long it lasts. If it has Zaino-type durability, the product actually produces like those pictures seem to show, and the cost is reasonable, I may be sold. PS. What color is your 8? PPS. Post pictures!

EDIT: I just went to the original FMJ thread and realized you'd started it. I guess that would make sense, duh!

MD--Do you you an orbital buffer, or is it possible to apply FMJ by hand? Do you have to use Menzerna products to prep the paint? And how long have you been using FMJ? I'm interested how long the stuff lasts before you have to re-coat it...

You can use FMJ by hand. Finish Polish II is great to clean the car. Been using about 6 months. I think it would lash for 5 to6 months....

Love these guys that come into a forum and hype a product and say tell them a guy form ... sent you. This is as bad as the x-rated invites in an aol chat room. duh, think they have an motive other than just posting to the site??? Death to the losers that do this, lol

Scott, your right, I made a mistake. But I have no connections with them. Heck I am just another $ for them. I paid just as much as anyone else would. In fact I am just a wax junkie... I ordered some Pinnacle Wax to try. At 48 years old I don't want to offend anyone. I just wanted to try something a little different and it happened to turn out great. You have the choice on what to buy not me. Life is to short for this kid of junk...

I may have to try some of this stuff. I am sure it works well along the lines of the PUPP and AIO I currently use.

If anyone gets a chance try the Pinnacle Signature series if you have the titanium Gray Metallic. I detailed a car last week that color with sig. series and it is the sweetest look I have seen on that shade. (wishing I didnt have the whitewater pearl) Havent tried the FMJ yet, not always looking for new products to play with.

Did it again

I told you I am a wax junkie... Just polished off my FMJ and put some Pinnicle Souverän Wax on my red 8. It created a heck of a shine. But I know it won't last long. Each product has its advantages... It's a toss up which shines better.

I think the pinnicle may have a edge it short term shine

I think the pinnicle may have a edge it short term shine. But The FMJ is very close behind.
