 PO 87MC, Menzerna Final Polish II (Micro Polish)
This is the finishing polish
used
by Mercedes Benz in Germany.
This polish can be used after
compounding or anytime as a preparatory step to waxing. Menzerna Final Polish
II removes old wax, minor spider webbing and creates a clean, smooth, highly
reflective surface.
New and Improved: The factory made a very slight change in this
product for the US market. They added some lubricating oils to keep the product
wetter, allowing longer polishing. This may be an advantage if you live in a
climate of high heat and/or humidity (Florida, Texas, Arizona, etc.). While this
change was very small we felt we should identify this as a change because the
original formula Final Polish is still being sold to body shops and the OEM
market. We asked the factory in Germany to make this change because we felt it
made the polish more user friendly for the enthusiast.
Final Polish II contains no
wax, glaze, fillers or silicones. Minor spider webbing is removed, not just
covered-up. Paint gloss is improved by polishing the surface to a micro-smooth,
highly reflective finish, not by adding a glaze of silicone oils.

Final Polish II accomplishes
this with micro-fine, precision milled, mineral abrasives, not with strong
solvent cleaners. Menzerna Final Polish II is a water-based polish, safe for
fresh paint or factory cured paint with or without a clear coat. It will not affect
the curing process of new paint and will not create swirls. Used after
compounding, Final Polish II will completely remove compounding haze (surface
dullness) and restore a high gloss, swirl-free finish.
Final Polish II restores
gloss to black and red finishes without creating polishing lines. This is a
true, professional, finishing polish. Most domestic polishes hide minor swirls
with fillers and increase surface gloss with gloss agents. Menzerna Final

Polish II removes fine swirls (when applied by machine) and creates gloss the
old-fashioned way, by burnishing the surface to a mirror-like finish.
Menzerna designed this polish
to be applied with a dual-action (Porter Cable 7424) polisher or a circular
polisher but it can be applied by hand. For best results, always work in a
shaded area, out of direct sunlight.

Terry or Microfiber applicator pad with water or any quick-detail spray (Eagle
