What's the best, most efficient 1 step?

[Gsrjake]

I'm looking for a 1 step for correction that doesn't leave any defects a usual polish would have to clean up after. I'm trying to speed up my process in detailing. What do you think the best 1 step is that will provide great results?

That would be more pad dependent than product dependent.

Use a pad that is too aggressive then it will leave things that will need to be corrected by a polish.

You can use M105 with a Polishing pad and it will leave a great finish that will look polished good enough usually that you could go straight to a LSP if you wanted to.

Then go to M205 with a finishing pad then LSP.

Something to try anyway. :)

Or you could just go with M66 as an AIO and top it with an LSP if you wanted to.

That's actually a good idea but yeah I needa stay away from MF pads unless it's a two step then. I'm going to try that today thanks for the advice!

Wow another "best" thread. Everything is paint, environment , and experience related. Too many variables for any reasonable answer only guesses.

Yeah, true...

But one thing that isn't a variable is pad dependent and that was what I targeted.

Use the least aggressive pad to get the job done with a product that is known to leave a good finish while being aggressive enough to get it done.

Why add more work that one would really need?

If the pad one is using is too aggressive and leaves behind issues that need to be fixed then what's the point?

Then you have to add a step and take the time to fix the issues that pad caused and or take more time.

You're no help but thanks!

You can try D300 on a LC hydrotech tangerine pad if you need more cut just ease off on the last few passes so you'll finish nicely or Sonax perfect finish or Menz 2500 on the same pad.

Tried S3 gold earlier, great cut and can finish nicely too on a polishing pad, but not too glossy like sonax PF or a menz 2500

Most of my 1steps are done with FG400 and MF pads. For soft paint I use D300 and MF pads. The only thing I can say too is that you can't count on one polish for everything.

I am sure you have your go to product, the one you usually grab 1st. :) :xyxthumbs:

That would be the one that you find works for the majority of situations.

I think you could stick with M105 and M205 for the most part and just change pads as needed depending on what you are doing or need to do.

M205 is likely one of the most versatile products around and can be used from defect correction to polishing to jeweling just by changing pads.

My go to product is FG400 and MF pads.
