    Polishing PPF or Clear Bra With BF One Step and a Waxing pad?

    I am curious to see if I should polish out the clear bra on this Lexus LS 460 with BF One step and the softest pads I have available, the red Lake Country ThinPro 3.5 inch and The 5.5 inch Lake Country Black pads?

    Should I roll with the Pinnacle advanced Finish Polish and a test spot first as this may be the least aggressive combo?

    I also have polishing pads available but I feel that these may be too aggressive.

    The plan is to polish with light pressure.

    This will be my first high end to me car in The Cathedral! I'm so exited! Gotta get after it early tomorrow!

    Both will/should work.

    If you're going to apply any type of coating to the PPF then don't use the AIO.

    You might need to start with a foam "polishing" pad to get enough cut.

    I've had really good luck with both products on PPF and glossy graphics.


    Always test first.

    Okie dokie. I will start with the Lake Country 3.5 inch Flat White Heavy Polishing Foam Pad and BF One Step with a light pressure.

    l'll be using your aggressive wash approach to save time and get the car surgically clean.

    I'll also using your technique of polishing the glass first with the BLACKFIRE Glass Water Spot remover to polish the glass and remove road film and contaminants.

    I plan on topping with the Pinnacle Liquid Souveran as it boasts it works best on light colored cars.

    I also have the BLACKFIRE BlackICE Hybrid Montan Sealant Wax.

    I'm extremely tempted to go with the BlackICE to keep along the lines if chemically synergistic compatibility.

    I use the lake white pad and it works well don't forget to tape at least the corners on the PPF. Product can get under loose corners and edges. Learned that the hard way.
