hey guys,

I need help making a decision. I'm placing a pretty chunky order soon with eshine. I'm torn in between two options. I've heard good things about both menzerna and poorboys world products. At first I was going to go with this option for polishes:
Poorboys World:
SSR1 Compound
SSR2 Cutting Polish
SSR3 Finishing Polish
and then finish it off with the Poorboys Polish w/ Sealant
Now I don't know whether I should go that route, or go this route:
Menzerna:
Power Gloss Compound
PO106ff Ceramic Clear Coat Polish Cutting Polish
Final Polish II Finishing Polish
and finished with the Poorboys Polish with Sealant

This will be my first polish and it will be on a white 2007 G35S Sedan that has been clayed and washed with Megs Gold Class every week religiously. The car also has a 3M ClearBra, are there any special precautions I should be taking when polishing a car with a ClearBra or just polish over that?

Thanks, Brendan

Also, forgot to mention that this will all be done with a Porter Cable 7424.

I think you have the Poorboy's World in reverse order. I'd do SSR3 and then follow up with Menzerna Polishes.

I just went with the way detailed image listed it, they had compound, cutting polish, finshing polish, sealant

Both are great products. As for your PB line up, only SSR2.5 and SSR1 are really needed ... the SSR3 is like liquid sandpaper and SSR2 is fairly weak. However, you won't find an easier line of products to use, PB products are very user friendly. Polish with sealant is an exceptional product and it'll clean the paint like no tomorrow and leave the paint very slick.

That being said, Menzerna is a professional product designed to be used with a rotary. Many are successful using it via PC but the SSR line is more user friendly. Both with yield better results than anything OTC.

As for the clear bra, you don't need to do a multi step detail on it but a little polish and then wax/sealant won't hurt.

	PC Porter-Cable Orbital Buffer 7424 or 7336. One of the most famous tool used by a variety of detailers, from weekend warriors to professional detailers.

Just the answer I was looking for. So the SSR2 is pretty much useless? And for the ClearBra just go over it with SSR2 and the Polish w/ Sealant? One last question, would the Polish w/Sealant be better for longetivity than all of the other Paint Cleaners? I mean compared to:
Poorboys Professional Polish
Poorboys Polish w/ Carnuba
Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish
I want something that will give a nice silky smooth feeling that will last.

Thanks, Brendan

Everyone will have a different opinion but IMO if you have SSR2.5 and SSR1, the SSR2 isn't needed. The 2.5 / 1 combo will remove a hefty amount of swirls and leave a nice finish. The Polish w/ sealant will last the longest out of the paint cleaners that you listed, but won't last as long as a traditional wax or sealant ... I would say the PwS would last 2 months max.

Menzerna is way better than Poorboy's IMO. No comparison.

Powerglos (only if needed)
Super Intensive Polish
Nano or Micro Polish

Then sealant and/or wax of your choice.

You would be better off with the Menzerna line, it just blows poorboys polish out of the water even when used with a pc. Plus the majority of the people on here use it and can help out. I would skip over the minor league polish and just go straght to the big league polish, Menzerna, you will be much happier with the results.

I have both Presta and Menz and the Menz final polish finishes better. The UCCL is very much like SIP and alot cheaper. I would stick with Menz over Poorboys though. I think the finishing qualities are better with the Menz.
