Sonax Cut & Finish and Sonax Perfect Finish at Autogeek.net

Sonax Cut & Finish and Sonax Perfect Finish at Autogeek.net


While we were at SEMA I had the opportunity to spend some time at the Sonax booth where they had a pretty impressive demonstration of their Cut & Finish and Sonax Perfect Finish products. In fact they gave us a few samples to test out so today I did a little buffing with them using the Makita Rotary Buffer on one of our black hoods we use in our classes.

The products I have are in German but I remember the Sonax Rep telling me these are rotary buffer only products. As we get in the English language versions I'll verify.

Sonax Cut & Finish and Sonax Perfect Finish



I don't remember what I was using last on this hood but I knew it had swirls in one of the test sections and since I'm pretty sure they're very shallow so I chose a LC Flat White Polishing Pad for the Cut & Finish and a LC Flat Blue Finishing Pad for the Perfect Finish.


(The painter's tape is being used to let the camera focus on the surface)


Before



After




The first thing I noticed was they both have a long buffing cycle and smooth buffing action with this set-up. Wipe-off was easy and results looked to be very good.

Re: Sonax Cut & Finish and Sonax Perfect Finish at Autogeek.net

Where would these rate aggressiveness-wise as compared to M105/M205 or Optimum Hyper Compound/Hyper Polish?

Cut and finish = cut: 5/6 and gloss: 5/6

Perfect finish = cut: 4/6 and gloss: 6/6

Mike, porta how do you rate Sonax Perfect finish against similar products, like Menzerna PO203?

Toni, I have never used the new sonax products since they are very expensive and not very common in Sweden. Menzerna is still my no 1 choice.

Considering I've just found out that over here Perfect Finish is twice the price of Menzerna, I'll follow your lead and stick with Menz for now

I already have Megs 105&205 to play with for spring :P

Hate to dig up a old thread but does AG plan on carrying the Cut and Finish or the Perfect Finish ? If they are listed in the store I couldn't find them.
