    Yep, like I said. Just see the threads I've linked above.

    However, don't expect it to cut defects on harder paints.

    My tip for you to determine if it would be used as 1-step is:

    - test the white pad, speed 5, pressure on the head of the polisher to engage abrasives, slow arm speed. 4-6 passes, releasing the pressure on last 2 passes to finish it down.

    If this time you feel you would need more speed (like 6), even more arm pressure and even slower arm speed, more than 6 passes, it'll be better for you to step up the product because the task is 'overkilling' to SF4000 to handle.

    I say this because being it a finishing polish, you may use it with less pressure and slightly higher arm speed, and even less passes for finishing purposes.

    Product is that versatile, but you have to be specific: using to correct fine defects, you should use a 'correction technique', whetter for finishing purposes, you should use a 'finishing technique'.

    When you're using it on speed 5, firm pressure and slow arm speed, you're actually taking it to the 'edge' of it's performance, on a correction attempt.

    If doing this won't correct like expected, you should give up SF4000 this time and step up to a more 'abrasive' polish.

    Of course, the above is not a rule and can present exceptions, please, feel free to ask if you need more guidance on this.

    Kind Regards.

    I bought sf4000 instead of sf4500 and I'm glad I did because I have pretty hard clear but it works really well.
