Re: Recommend me a new product line to use
Okay after doing some more research I think I'm going to try some Sonax but in the compound section there's several bottles....
(Cut/Gloss Rating from Sonax)
Cut Finish - 5/5
CutMax - 5/3
EX 04-06 - 4/6
ExCut 05-05 - 5/5
Then in polishes there's the following...
Profiline Final - 1/6 Not valid since there's a sealer in the bottle ....
NP 03-06 - 3/6
Perfect Finish - 4/6
Wanting to keep down to at least bare minimum of bottles which compound and which polish? Do you guys recommend? One compound and one polish to finish with the cquartz finish?

Re: Recommend me a new product line to use
What's the condition of the paint you are applying to, I. E. Scratches , hazing, etc? Is it hard/soft? Are you looking to do a 2 step for sure?

Re: Recommend me a new product line to use
First post outlines the cars being used since they are family cars. Both are Lexus and there's one Honda. Black Lexus is pretty severe since he does nothing but go to automatic car washes so it's pretty bad and needs help. The wife's is a deep red metallic with light swirls but there's one area I need to do a scratch repair that will require wet sanding but the rest is great.
I'm used to doing a two or sometimes three step since I normally use Mezerna products. Just wanting to try out new products that work well and Sonax seems like it's worth a try.

I'd go cutmax and the np 3/6 and just adjust pads accordingly. I can't imagine there much those two wouldn't handle.

Re: Recommend me a new product line to use
Sounds good supercarsean. Have you worked with them in the past and if so what pads would you start with normally? I have LC ccs pads and normally start with a white pad to see the results and don't usually need to go to a orange or yellow and for final step a black pad.

I have used the cutmax before. And while I can argue with starting soft and working backwards, my suspicion is you'd probably land at LC orange, which is exactly what I ended up using. If you've used Fg400 it'll likely be similar pad choice. Good luck, make sure to report back!

Re: Recommend me a new product line to use
Nothing but good things to say about cut and finish! Easy wipe off, long work time, little to no dusting, and it finishes really well. I've used it as a one step on black honda paint with no hazing, even using an orange lake country pad. It's diminishing abrasive if I'm not mistaken so make sure to work it long enough to allow it to break down and refine the finish. Only nitpick is that is doesn't have quite enough bite if you're working on hard german paint (ex: audi) that's really hammered.

Sonax Perfect Finish does not contain any wax or sealant. It is a medium cut polish and a very good one at that.

The Griots Boss line. Really impressive and easy to work with.

Re: Recommend me a new product line to use
I am a big fan of Blackfire One Step. I've used it on my silver Lexus and my wife's black Taurus that was unbelievably scratched, I was amazed at the end result. So amazed, I saw no reason to try anything else.
