Great stuff, I think it was porta who told me about the scholl gear

Now I don't want to seem negative and I'm not trying to be

For me, unless these offer an advantage over Menzerna, G Techniq p1 and all other top quality abrasive polishes that we currently use, I see no point in using them as well.

I've bought tens of thousands of dollars worth of products over the last decade and I've thrown out a heap of products, some that as recent as 2006 at the time were top notch

They've now become obsolete, used up and binned or handed down to friends

I don't want to be using more than five brands of abrasive polishes

Currently I have Prima, Driven to Perfection, Menzerna, GTechniq P1 and Hi Temp
Just about used up the last of my Sonus SFX

Along with that are the non abrasive products
GLARE Australia products, Toughseal step 1 and 2, Ultra Gloss from Germany, Driven and a couple more for special use

Well the main advantages I saw were that in almost 100% humidity I had not one single problem with the polishes (which is the norm for Menzerna). Also when using it as a cutting polish I got nowhere near the dusting that I get from Menz. IP or SIP. So those two advantages are coincidentally two of the biggest complaints of Menz. so that would be the point of using them.

Ive used Menzerna in 85%+ humidity and 90*+ without problems. Cold temps are another story however. JL, you do your polishing in the garage right? Do you rewash the car after polishing?

Yeah I polish in my garage but I forgot to turn the AC on the night before and if I don't it will not cool it down enough to work with the doors shut. That is the best when I can do it with the AC on and doors shut as I have practically no humidity. As far as washes go I will if it is really dusty, if not I just do a prep sol wipedown.

Have you tried Presta, It also works quite well in humidity. I also has little hazing. Just a thought, glad the Schol worked out, pics are nice.

How were you applying the polish when you had problems with Menz (on the pad, on the paint, etc.)? How many different cars did you experience these problems on?

Applied exactly like I did with the Scholl's and have had it happen to me on 3 different occasions but have heard others that are very good at their craft have the same issues.

Great review

I have been using Scholl for over a year and they have some very nice compounds, thats for sure.

S17 is a keeper but S40 didn´t do much and I prefere S30 over S40. S40 is comparable to Menzerna PO85RD and S30 is like PO106FF.

S17 is going to be upgraded and the newer version is much better then the old one. S3 is also a totaly new formula, think they are going to start produce it this fall. S3 is one of the best compounds I have used. The old one is very gritty and similar to Powergloss. The new version of S3 is runny and not gritty but it cuts fast with minimal dust and gives a very nice finish.
