Product Showcase: Menzerna Fast Gloss 400
 
We were able to get some Menzerna Fast Gloss 400 in to test out. Take a look at the results below.

Manufacturer's Description

Menzerna Fast Gloss FG 400 the very latest outstanding compounding polish from Menzerna.
Menzerna Fast Gloss FG 400 contains even more ultra fine abrasive so can now remove sanding marks up to 1200 grit whilst at the same time producing exceptional levels of gloss. We have found this to be a truly exceptional product when used by either Dual Action or Rotary polisher, quickly removing swirls and scratches even on tough paints leaving a truly exceptional level of gloss for such a correction compound.

Like all products from Menzerna, Fast Gloss is free of silicone and fillers so therefore results are permanent.

Product Highlights:

- More abrasiveness: Elimination of sanding marks of grit 1200 ultra fast
- High gloss: Within one-step process creation of impeccable high gloss
- One-step polish: Saving time due to one-step process with high abrasiveness and high gloss
- All-purpose: Suitable for all types of clear coats

Now onto the results:

Menzerna Top Inspection

Car was brought in to us after Hurricane Sandy for a clean up. We decided this would be a great test for Menzerna FG 400. We figured this would be 2 steps on this car, start wtih Menzerna FG 400 and finish with Menzerna SF 4000 or Sonax Fine Abrasive or Sonax Nano Polish........well we were a bit surprised take a look.

Before - pretty beat up after Hurricane Sandy/the Noreaster/and just bad car washes

After the wipe down we found a few more rids, we took care of them with few passes of FG 400 and we got to a last step ready

Repeat the above and this was what we got. Some great results with just about zero dust.

Phil how would this compare to D300 with Uber cutting pads? Thats what I use now combined with SF400 and then Power Lock sealant

the FG 400 I like a bit better than D300.

it will finish down better and more has more cut. :thumbup:

When I finish my D300/SF4000 bottles, I'll pick a bottle of this up.

You have too many good products coming out I can't use the product fast enough! Thats why my orders now always consist of the basics, detail spray, APC, VRT, and MF towels lol.

Oh and thanks for the Black cap you gave me with the Collinite 845, going to break that out this weekend on the wife's Rav4 (needs D300 correction treatment beforehand) and doing my X the week after, to get ready for winter.

If I am using Power Lock as a Sealant, then 845 on top, is there a time frame I should wait before applying? 12 hours or so?

that would be great.
