I made a nice big order to Autogeek earlier in the week, and off course as soon as my package arrived today...Well I had to give it a try.
I used my mom's lexus ls430 as a tester, since the clear on that car is pretty hard. I had previously used XMT #3 on a CCS orange pad on a PC but that took 2-3 hits.
Power Finish is 100% awesome. It cut quickly, and finished to an LSP ready degree. I jeweled the crap out of one panel with PO87mc to see if I could improve on the finish and there was little difference.
Highly recommend this polish!

I just used this stuff last week for the first time. I used it on a 08 imperial blue silverado with severe "lot rot". Took care of it no problem, lsp ready.
I love this stuff!!! :righton:

it has indeed become one of my favs too ... a definite one step polish for most reasonable finishes.

what pad with a rotary would you use for average/ moderate swirled car ? There are just so many Menzernas, not sure what all to get sometimes.

Orange or green LC css pad. Works also with white but I prefere the green over the white pad.

I used an orange pad, albeit the clear was pretty hard on my parents lexus's but I deliberately took one pass to see if it left marring and it did not. I was amazed, I pulled it out into the sun to check. Also, I was using it on my dads black rx400h in the sun and it performed exactly the same.

Make sure to wipe down the paint with IPA and/or give it a alkalie wash, this to make sure to get away all the lubrication oils off the paint.

This has been my "go to" polish for 95% of my 1 steppers since its release. It is absolutely amazing! It corrects well and finishes nicely with LC green and orange.

I've been thinking of getting some of this. I have never detailed a car before but want to be able to maintain my own cars. I've been torn between either Power Finish or SIP & Nano. I don't need the cars to be the best looking but I just want to be able to get rid of most of the swirls. I also don't want to spend my whole day cleaning up one car.

I would go with Power Finish since you can use it to correct with white and orange pads but also to jewel with a less aggressive pad. This flexibility combined with no marring is great for a first timer.

So I could use it with a orange pad then go straight to a LSP?
Thanks for the review!
I got some of the 203 and am wondering if there are any tips for use with a PC? What speed should I use? White pad OK? How long does it need to be worked? Does it dry or turn clear?
Thank you.

I used it on an orange pad and it left no marring at all, and still finished down LSP ready.
Loco: I used it with my PC and would recommend at speed 6 to work it in and decrease it to speed 5 for the last few passes to help it finish down as well as possible. You can use it on an orange pad for good cutting ability, a white pad to get some correction ability or a grey pad as a jeweling step. 203 does it all.
