Re: Microfiber DA pads vs Foam
Thanks Mike! I will give the Sonax polish a shot! I wonder if my hex logic pads are why my accord god some swirls in the paint after i polished.
My TW compound is about 7 monhts old, but im not married to it in any way. What polish would you reccomend with the Sonax ultimate cute?
I also plan to do a true ceramic coating probably the Gyeon 1, or something similar.

Re: Microfiber DA pads vs Foam
I'd suggest the Griots Fast Finishing MF pads. They aren't overly aggressive but work faster than foam. If it's hazy finish with a Griots Yellow polishing pad and a finishing polish.

3D One is pad dependent. This is my go to for one step. Very seldom I have to follow that with a finer polish like Reflect. By seeking out the sweet spot between pads and 3D One, I generally exceed my expectation of around 65%-70% correction for a one step. 65%-70% correction might not sound like a lot here but the general public can't tell the difference between that and 100%.

The simple answer would be Sonax Perfect Finish. Many reviews have indicated Gyeon One is tacky to work with in the past.
Germany is world famous for compounds and polishes. Carpro is well regarded has well. Lots of options.
Personally, i've used cutmax and perfect finish. They work and relatively quickly.

Great and frustrating!
I know i want to get rid of the swirls and then ceramic coat. I suppose ill be using the Sonax compound and polish, Im also throwing all my hex logic pads in the trash. ( usually buy new pads for a full detail anyway).
Ill pick up some new foam pads, (maybe lake country?) and a Meguairs microfiber cutting pads. Jury is out on what coating. (open to suggestions there)

Re: Microfiber DA pads vs Foam
Carpro Cquartz UK3.0 is one of the most popular coatings around. Its very robust and it performs very well with no topcoat.
IGL poly looks interesting too. It comes in a kit with IGL premier - in canada - which is an excellent maintenance product.
I think Mike done a review last year sometime....for IGL poly.
