No personal experience w/ Menz products, mostly b/c I havent really had the need to use them. If you're looking at alternatives, I can post some pics from others who've used Optimum & poorboys on black w/ great results.

For washing? Or another use?
I personally do not like microfiber for washing. I do not think it releases dirt well at all imo. Especially on heavily soiled panels. For that reason, I prefer to use other tools here

question, (ok i've read 9 pages)
i'm planning on doing some detailing on my own and chose,
orange pad w/ polishing compound: scratch & swirl remover THEN,
white pad w/ carnauba wax.
-are we suppose to have some time gap in between the 2 jobs or we just do polish then wax right away?
-and for simply waxing purposes with white pad+wax, do you recommend using carnauba or regular wax.
-and overall, which one do you prefer using, liquid form wax or paste.
thanks for great infos.

You can move directly from one task to the next. ie: compound/polish/wax. there is no need to wait in between stages. The process takes long enough as is anyway

Both liquid and paste waxes are great to work with. It really comes down to personal preference when it comes to which one you'll use. What color vehicle are you working with?
If you want something more durable, you might consider a sealant. Just another option for you to think about

And fwiw, I dont have an absolute preference on liquid vs paste. There are some pastes that I like over some liquids and vice versa. ie: if i want a durable wax, I'll use collinite 845, a liquid. However, I've been using chemical guys 5050 paste wax on a lot of black vehicles recently, so I might grab that one over another paste wax.

I will try to take some pictures tonight of my dash. It is minor but it doesnt come off with a towel.
What is the easiest way to get rid of minor swirls on my car? Would clay bar work?
