FPII was tough to remove today

[quote name='ebpcivicsi']Man, you aren't kidding. Sometimes even the softest MF will mar the paint upon removal. I learned that this weekend. Anyone who has a black BMW as a DD must be nuts!! :D It's unbelievable how soft the paint is.



There's nothing like black. I try to maintain some black daily drivers as close to perfection as possible for some of my clients, and it's complete insanity. I even set aside my brand new Elite microfiber buffing towels to use exclusively on soft black paint. :wall
 
used it yesterday with no problems what so ever....worked it in section by section for about 8 passes persection on one coating (not 8 steps) and it came off with two swipes..almost like a sealant! I love the mezerna line....I am looking for it to be sold in the gallons....

Come on to memphis or New Orleans and give that a try. :D



RAG, I emailed CMA about those polishes and they stated that they should not be used on "regular" clears. Any issues, or are they just covering their bootays? How similar is the BF SRC FP to the menzerna PO106FF?

Try the Blackfire version of the PO106FF - they've added some lubricating oils to it, and I've had zero problems with removal (though I rarely have much humidity here); it goes a long long way via PC...you just deen a couple drops after the pad's been primed. If you own a black car, you should not be hesitant to purchase...it's a must have - I wish there was a less expensive polish that compared...but there isn't, not on black at least.

RAG, are you talking about the Blackfire Finishing Polish?

I remember seeing it while I was doing research on the PO106FF. Now I need to decide to purchase this or the PO106FF. Either way, I am going to need it for my car and a couple of other black vehicles.

Yes, that's the polish. Absolutely amazing. And no problems whatsoever. 100% contrary to their warning (brought about by legal advice for sure), I find it excels beyond other polishes on the softer paints, where other polishes (noticable on black) live thousands of little micromarring hooks, this polish finishes down perfect. I gave Shawn (Sullybob) a demo the other day...and beleive me, he's convinced.

It's basically PO106FF with a little extra lubrication. Either one will do - a must for black!

Done deal, that helps tremendously. I will be ordering some this week. Would you say that it has a little more "bite" than FPII, but finishes the same? If so, it will be *perfect* for my process. :D
 
Just slightly more defect removal...but it's hard to say, as I haven't done side by side testing for this. You know, it's funny because a lot of people assign FPII a 3 for cut, but I have done side by side testing (via rotary) with FPII and several other polishes (OP, #80, SSR 2.5, SFX 2) that many people assign a 4, and I find that FPII removes more defects than all of them; I think people give FPII a 3 because it finishes down so well...and I guess they figure it can't be cutting very much.
