Default Abrasives Chart
Thanks to Craig at Autopia.
Hope this helps you

Latest Chart above
-I edited the original one, as I extensively use menzerna I believe it was a bit under-rated by Craig..As well as some other popular products were added.....

The OG Chart Below

I think a few products are off; I'll put my 2c in when I have some time into it with my corrections .

Great chart! Any ideas where Zaino (AIO, Z2, Z5) products would be on that chart?

If anyone is willing to send more samples I can update this chart further.

Here is my take. Prima Swirl is between Menz IP and SIP but more towards SIPs cut level. Prima Finish is almost exactly like 106FF IME. Hope that helps Jay

Where does XMT 4 sit on the list? Pinnacle has their ASR line too.

Very nice list though!

According to the Auto Geek's, the Menz P0203S is 3 and P085RD is 1.5. Since they are polishes.

John, if you want you can come over sometime so I can show you what each polish would do. I have about 1/2 a trunk left untouched on my scrap trunk. I'll probably be playing with that sometime soon haha. Remember that the chart is subjective. Different pads give each polish a different cut

It was nice meeting you (^ nice guy). I'm going w/ the P0203S like you told me. Going to get the P085RD also since it's a good follow up for darker color car.
