    Re: Which is better for a final polish?

    Sonax perfect finish is a great choice for the soft paints. If you're going to use a coating, I would suggest against any of the oily polishes and go for something water based. Heat and expansion =some polishing oils in the pores of the paint, meaning improper bond of the coating even after multiple panel wipes. Since you're using gtechniq, have you considered using their nano polish for the final polish?

    well ... lol I am still working on it. I started with detail spray to clean the dust off. Then Iron x over the whole car, I clayed the whole thing.. twice. I decided to use menzerna 2500 medium cut with an orange pad with light pressure and about 3 to 4 passes on speed 4.5 with the Boss 21. That seems to be working out really well. I almost have the whole thing done with that.

    Then I am going to go over it with a very soft pad and the menzerna SF 3500 at a lower speed and probably about 3 passes. Then wipe it down and apply the coatings.

    So far what I have done I can tell that it is looking a lot better. I didnt have a lot of defects on it to start with ..but there were a few marks that the finer polish wouldnt remove .. so I just decided to do a two step deal.

    didnt get to work much on it today as today was kinda rough with stuff .. but I plan to get on it tomorrow for sure.
