Is it worth my time to apply IP and FP by hand?

ATH · 05-11-2005, 11:03 PM

I'm thinking of doing IP, FP, and then p21s for the summer months on my white M3 - but I don't have a PC right now. Should I hold off on the polish and just do the Klasse twins until I get myself a PC?

Thanks!

you would actually be putting fine scratches into your car.

The Menzerna application guide has instructions for hand application so I doubt they would put that in there if there would be adverse effects.

Here are some articles that can help. Look around that site it will be a great help. Menzerna really developed their polishes for use with a rotary, these polishes have agents that need to break themselves down in order to achieve the best results. You will get OK results by hand but it is reccommended you at least use a PC.
