    Re: Sonax Perfect Finish...

    I have tried it a few times and the results were ok for me. Nothing super amazing. Honestly I need to use it more to be totally honest with myself about it tho. This post is making me want to try it more.
    I still reach for Menzerna power Finish(whatever the number is now) for a one stepper or super finish (3500) as a finishing polish. Menzernas can be a bit oily to remove but the proper MF or a quick spray of Meg’s glass cleaner takes care of that for me.

    I ended up following up with Shine Supply Slick Back Primer Polish as it was on my personal car that I ended up coating with Gtechniq CSL and Exo V3.

    Thanks man!

    Looks great!

    Yeah, 2500 is still one of my favorites in the "bag of tricks".

    Ever since I saw it struggled finishing in a comparo test by Todd Helme(way back), that left a bad taste in my mouth. :

    Re: Sonax Perfect Finish...

    It’s funny I just one stepped my Honda yesterday with Perfect Finish and a Rupes yellow pad! There was definitely a curve to getting it to give me the results I wanted but once I got the process down with speed 4.5 and medium pressure on the first couple passes it surpassed my expectations!

    Awesome! How were you using it when you didn’t get the results you wanted? Just curious.

    Speed 6 and too much pressure! Once I altered my process it worked like a charm!

    I recall that. That was also a few formulation changes ago.
