    Well, in Indonesia we have tropic climate, the temprature quite hot here. Is it ok with Menzerna with those situation? What about megs #80?

    Well so far I've used 3M UK and Menzerna, I haven't played around too much with Meg' line up.

    But if I was to pick one, me personally I would go with Menzerna. It can act up depending on the climate, I'm in Canada so for me it hardly ever acts up but it can act up. 3M works just as fine but me personally I prefer the 3M UK products over the 3M US products...just me though :shrug:

    As to the differences between them, I would say that the aggressive compounds for 3M, tend to have a longer working time they too dust up but dust is dust, it doesn't bother me :confused:

    Well just my :2cents:

    Menzerna, all the way! Remember, you can always get it from Phil, and I'm sure he can ship it anywhere!

    The whole 3M perfect it 3000 line is very good and fast. I highly recommend. Make sure that you also use their pads with their products.

    I wonder if people from Florida or Hawaii can chime in on what works, I assume very similar humid hot weather.

    I never have Menz act up on me here in Seattle, but outside on the driveway on sunny days or bets are off with any kind of polish.
