This was a 2006 Chevy Impala LTZ that was brought to me for some care. This is the first car I've been able to use Sonax perfect finish, and so far it is AMAZING! Great work time, very little product goes a long way and the finish it leaves is awesome.

Looks nice. Those Sonax Profiline products don't seem to be available many places but the people that have used them seem to really like them.
Any particular reason you chose perfect finish instead of nano polish?

Thanks, I chose it just to try a different polish after reading all the reviews and rave about it.
