After the 205 step, I followed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Menzerna-M10\/PO85RD-Polish-P217\/32-oz-S1\/\" target=\"_blank\">Menzerna 85rd<\/a> on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Lake-Country-M7\/Black-Finishing-Pad-P60\/55-inch-S2\/\" target=\"_blank\">black lc pad<\/a> for more gloss and wetness!<\/p>\n<p>Moral of the story: be prepared to tackle any situation with an assortment of products just in case you find yourself in a sticky situation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have a couple of polishes that you&#8217;re very familiar with, and can achieve great results when using them, then why would you need to have similar products?
