Polishing Compounds Since 1888

Polishing Compounds Since 1888

Menzerna's story began in 1888, when Friedrich Menzer founded the company in Pforzheim. Polishing pastes for precious metals were among its first products, and its early customers were mainly in the local watch and jewellery industry. As the range of the Chemische Fabrik Friedrich Menzer grew, customers from other metalworking companies followed.

Under owner and chemist Dr Walter Burkart, scientific methods were introduced into product development and application technology. As polishing became automated, Menzerna says it was one of the first suppliers of liquid polishing compounds in Germany, and products for painted surfaces became an increasingly large share of its sales. In the same period it began operating globally and exporting more than half of its production.

The site later moved to Ötigheim in the district of Rastatt, where production was modernised and the laboratory was equipped with modern measuring and preparation technology. In Menzerna's words, its business with polishes for automotive clear coats grew from humble beginnings into a mainstay of the company, and it develops its polishes for professionals in industry and trade.

Polishes Without Silicones or Fillers

Polishes Without Silicones or Fillers

Menzerna states that its polishes are made from polishing minerals and contain no silicones or fillers, so scratches are removed by smoothing the paint rather than being covered up for a while. The one exception, it says, is its sealants, which need silicones to protect the surface. The range covers every stage, from preparing the surface and cutting to hologram free finishing and sealing.

Menzerna describes Heavy Cut Compound 400 as a polish that removes scratches and creates gloss in a single step, using diminishing abrasives. The Green Line version does the same job without hazardous volatile solvents and is VOC free under DIN EN ISO 11890-2. Medium Cut Polish 2400 is suited to dry, hard and older paints, including classic cars, and to soft sticky paint. Final Finish 3000 is its classic high gloss polish for removing swirls and car wash scratches.

One Step Polish 3-in-1 polishes out sanding marks from 3000 grit, removes smears and swirls and protects the finish, and Menzerna calls it ideal for novice polishers. The pads are built around the same system: the lambswool pad is made for rotary machines and combines high abrasion with low heat build up, the soft cut foam pad works with finishing polishes to remove holograms, and the wax foam pad applies waxes and sealants.
