    Thanks
    I'm curious about these gold pads also. I've seen other posts from Mike where he's used them on some of his makeovers.
    I think they are the LC #78-42550 which is a gold 5.5" CCS pad, not sure why AG doesn't offer them.

    Good question, this is the first and only car I've buffed out using these new products so I really need to use the product more before I could draw any correlations or similarities. I would say that when using the Fine Abrasive Paste that a little bit goes a long ways.

    Both products have long buffing cycles and easy wipe-off and these are two characteristics that are important. Results are phenomenal also...

    I don't think so but I'm not privy to their formulas and if they share technology between brand lines. This would be a good question to take to the SONAX website and get an official answers.

    I can find it in the warehouse but I cannot find it on the AG store. Here's the part number,

    LC-64-4455-130mm


    If you call Customer Care they can probably get them for you.

    Good question. When we do these projects we usually have a mix of new guys and seasoned pros and we're all working at the same time trying to get a "step" finished. This doesn't always make for best case scenarios as far as product usage goes.

    One thing for sure, these are very nice pads for use with a rotary buffer for final polishing or jeweling...

    This is very interesting to me. I have been under the impression (both from reading and from firsthand experience) that rotary induced holograms are created by the circular action of the rotary in conjunction with the technique being used. I am curious to know how an abrasive polish can overcome this?

    Am I reading more into this than I should be??

    I would say that the personality types that hang out discussing car detailing on a car detailing forums are personality types that tend and trend to reading more into everything... (me included)





    Here's what the SONAX website states,

    SONAX ProfiLine Nano polish NanoPro

    Fine nano polishing agents gently return the shine to new and slightly weathered paintwork. Quickly and easily gives a perfect high gloss to paintwork treated with SONAX Abrasive Polish, or SONAX Nano Abrasive Polish & Finish. And with SONAX Nano Polish, even scratch resistant paints can be polished, professionally and hologram free. Contains no wax or silicone. Medium abrasive effect (cut).


    One thing for sure, there is a lot of really good abrasive technology being introduced to the paint polishing world and that's a benefit to everyone.

    Since there does not appear to be any holograms in the subject vehicle and, provided it can be demonstrated that the polish can do that consistently on different paint systems, that would make this somewhat of a "revolutionary" product....in my opinion.

    Agreed.


    Technology in the detailing and body shop industry is improving faster than I've ever seen. The only way to keep up with it is to be hanging out on a forum because this is where the information is shared first and fastest.

    Very intrigued by the Sonax compound/polish/sealant products. Mike, did you decide to work these products with rotary buffers due to the notoriously hard clear coat?
