106FA VS. 106FF. Has anyone compared the two?
Are there any major differences in between menzerna 106ff and 106fa? I heard that 106FA works faster but have never tried it. I am getting ready to place my next order and want to know which one I should get.

I am impressed with it, and all the other Menzerna products.
I can use it with an orange pad or and finish off really nicely. I use to use SIP then with 106fa or 106ff, but now I can use Power Finish My new combo for serious paint correction is M105 followed up by Power Finish |

the cut is between 106FF and SIP which is about the level of IP, but it finishes better. |

No you can use it on an orange pad and then switch to a black or finessing pad if you leave any marring.
I used it with a rotary and did not leave any marring or holograms |

Remember, just because something doesn't leave holograms on one car doesn't mean it won't on another. For example, finishing with an orange pad will work very, very rarely. I am not saying it won't ever, I am saying that the orange pad has enough mechanical abrasion that no matter how fine the polish you use, the pad itself will leave micromarring behind on anything but hard paint. If you're not seeing it it's possible the polish you're using is filling (as 106ff/fa have been known to do). I've only used PF a few times, so not sure, but it's not improbable. There are a bunch of threads on Autopia where guys have been bitten by Menzerna filling. Before anyone jumps on me, I still use SIP, 106ff, 8rd, fa, pf, FPI and FPII; but it's just good to go into it knowing the ceramiclear stuff (SIP, ff, fa, PF) can fill.
Anyway, back to the OP - there is speculation that FA is formulated for BMWs while FF is formulated for Mercedes. I don't know why that would be or what the difference would even be, but that's what some of the UK guys are saying. I find them to be pretty much identical. |
