Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the primary purpose of Menzerna Super Finish Plus 3800?
Its primary purpose is to create a perfect mirror finish by removing polishing marks, micro-scratches, and holograms, especially on dark-colored paints.
Is this polish suitable for all car colors?
Yes, it is suitable for all car colors, but it is particularly effective and recommended for dark-colored paints where imperfections are most visible.
Can I use this polish with a rotary polisher?
While designed for orbital polishers and hand application, it can be used with a rotary polisher, but requires more care and skill to avoid introducing new defects due to its fine abrasive nature.
Is it safe to use before painting my car?
Yes, Menzerna Super Finish Plus 3800 is silicone-free, making it safe for use in environments where subsequent paint application or correction is planned.
What pad should I use with this polish?
For optimal results with machine application, the Menzerna green Soft Cut Foam Pad is recommended. It is designed to work effectively with the polish's fine abrasives.
How much polish should I use per section?
For machine application, six small drops for a 50x50cm area is the recommended starting point. Adjust as needed based on pad condition and paint surface.
How long does it take to break down the abrasives?
The abrasives break down as you polish. Continue working the polish until the milky film becomes slightly translucent, indicating the polishing process is complete for that section.
Troubleshooting
Polish is not cutting effectively or removing marks.
Ensure you are using the correct pad (Menzerna green Soft Cut Foam Pad recommended) and that it is clean. Increase machine speed slightly or apply slightly more pressure. Check if the paint surface was adequately pre-cleaned.
Holograms or new swirl marks appear after polishing.
This can occur if too much pressure is applied, the machine speed is too high, or the pad is dirty. Reduce pressure, adjust machine speed, and ensure a clean pad and microfiber towel are used for buffing off.
Polish is drying too quickly on the surface.
Work in smaller sections (e.g., 50x50cm). Reduce the amount of polish applied per section, or if working in warm conditions, consider using a slightly more open-cell pad or a damp applicator pad (sparingly).
Residue is difficult to remove.
Ensure the polish has been worked until it becomes translucent. Use a clean, high-quality microfiber towel for removal. If residue is stubborn, a light mist of Menzerna Control Cleaner can help loosen it.
