Meguires or Menzerna?

Hey guys, I have used Menzerna for my first two details (once per year). I really went with the systems because it got good reviews and I really like the PowerLock sealant. It just took forever to do the complete the project (Using the PC random orbital buffer). Also I ended up buying the new FG 400 for my next go since it didn't get all the deep scratches last time.

I hear the Meguires 105 and 205 is a killer system. At this point in my life I can afford a few extra bucks to buys new stuff, if it going to save me some time. From what I have read the Meguires stuff doesn't have to be worked quite as long and does just as good a job if not better.

So my actual questions with Black Friday quickly approaching are will the Meguires do as good a a job as the Menzerna did? Will it do it faster? Can still use the Powerlock for the final protection (I bought the monster bottle of that stuff?

Meg 105 and 205 are not as user friendly as the products you are using. I would stick with what you have. Menz makes unbelievable polishes and the power lock sealant is extremely durable.

Thanks for the input. Guess I am just being lazy and looking for something to do a job quickly that just can't be done quickly .

I bought the FG400 recently so I think I'll do that that this time. Last time I think I did the SI 1500, then the Sf 4000 and finally the powerlock. Guess I can go right from the FG400 to the 4000. Maybe I 'll even try an area with just the SF4000 and see if I can get away with that. Oh, and this time around this is being done on my Black Trailblazer not my SIM - she's stored for the winter :(.
