Sonax Perfect Finish vs PF2500

[The Critic]

My daily driver is a Toyota with the Winter Grey Metallic Paint. I just ordered some Menzerna Power Finish, but after reading a few more reviews, I am thinking that I should exchange it for some Sonax Perfect Finish. My goal is to get to 70-80% correction and also remove the slight haze that was left by Meguiars D151.

My question to y’all is: is there anything that Menzerna Power Finish can do, that Sonax Perfect Finish cannot do? In other words, is there any reason to have both products on hand?

As an alternative, I suppose that I can keep the Power Finish and add Menzerna SF4000 to my inventory… and use SF4000 to further refine the finish.

Thanks in advance.

If it's only haze your trying to remove, Perfect Finish will be fine. Perfect Finish is great for light washing swirls and final polishing. Power Finish 2500 is a good 1 step for light colors. Dark colors may require another step with SF4000/SF4500.

Wow, this could not have come at a better time.

I have PF2500 and am planning on ordering SPF next week to try it out since everyone is raving about it.

From what I understand, SPF excels at finishing on softer paints where other polishes might leave some marring behind. SPF is supposed to cut more than M205 (so I would assume it is similar in cut to PF2500) but finish down better on those more finicky paints (bmw jet black, porsche black, nissan black, and what not).

*Again, I have no experience with SPF, that is just what I have picked up from reading and contacting certain people.

SPF is a superior polish. 2500 was on top for a very long time.

Meaning SPF is better than 2500 in your opinion?

EDIT: misread the first time... duh... I get it

Zach, on well maintained cars, SPF is a must have as it will do the job using only one polish. I have the whole Menzerna line and even on well maintained cars, I sometimes will have to do a two step to get the results I'm after. SPF has become my go to polish.

Fine fine fine... I'll buy it

Have a black GT-R coming up that I was hoping to try it out on since those are supposed to have finicky paint. Upon initial inspection the car was in pretty good shape - only minor surface defects.

Try it with a white Rupes pad. Amazing.

One thing I definitely don't need is more pads... I just stick to my MF Cutting pads and LC Flat Pad collection and have never felt like I am needing something else.
