I told a couple friends I would do their cars so I need something that will be able to get the majority of scratches out of older and uncared for paint. Which of the polishes should I go with? I've heard good things about the Powergloss, but does it work well with a PC too?

Default Try this...........

Step 1 - Menzerna PO106FF Polish using the White pads (Polish)

Step 2 - Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze using the Black pads (Glaze)

Step 3 - Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket using the Red pads (Seal)
in just that order.

Default 2 passes of SSR2.5 and a yellow pad wont get rid of the majority of scratches

I figure theres no need to hold back

Default My current method:

With the Adam's foam pads on the PC (orange-green-white-grey, is hardest to softest).

For older paint ('97 Truck, '95 Civic):
Menzerna IP on the Green Pad.
Menzerna 085 with the White Pad.
Menzerna FMJ with the grey pad.

For newer paint ('06 Civic):
Menzerna 085 with the white
Menzerna FMJ with the gray.

I'm not sure what I"m gonna do to my '01.5 S4 yet...

I chose these products based on conversations with Phil, and a desire for light cutting power, but nothing super harsh. I'm not aiming for the be all end all depth, but about 95% of it.
