While i have used polishes before i only have some poorboys SSR1 stuff that i don't actually find very good and only used to clean the windscreen.
I have a DA and have a CG Hex Logic Green and Red pads, im looking for a polish to use over the whole car to remove the small swirls and scratches. So far Scholl S30+ is top of my list and it should work well with the green pad.
S20 seems to get a lot of love, but would that be too much cut.
anytime I recommend a one step polish it simply has to be sonax 04-06 for me personally, such a nice polish to work with and delivers fantastic results IMO
Shine supply flat top. Extreme fast, pleasure to use. No oily or something like this. Cut 1500 or even more and finish lsp. Find right bad(I use mequiars microfiber and carpro orange/blue)
Gone with the Sonax 04-06. Thanks for the suggestions.
Caved and got a few extra pads as well, to go with the Green and Red Quantum pads ive got an Orange and Blue. So option with the Orange for extra cut for the Sonax polish, and the blue to add a bit of bite to the lime prime i like to use, usually with the red pad.
just ordered 04 06 myself along with Orange Hex Logic pad and White Hex Logic pad as my new car is bright red and covered in swirls, will try and get some 50/50's posted in here once used
Guys...I have caved in and bought the Sonax PF, with the car being white it doesn't merit a full 3 stager.
I plan to use this with a DAS6 Pro...will the Sonax be ok on a meg's MF pad?
Sorry to hijack this thread but I'm considering these one step products - can anyone provide me any feedback as to how they cut and finish and which u think is the best?
Koch Chemie F5.01
Sonax Perfect Finish
Sonax 0406
I'll be using a flex XFE and med lake country orange HDO pads[emoji106]

Also not after 100% defect removal - I understand the percentage of correction will vary depending on the paint[emoji106]. Many of the cars that come to me mainly have swirls / holograms caused by bad washing procedures more than anything. I find most people don't want to pay for a lengthy 2 stage correction process.
It sounds like you know what you are doing and by what your saying your doing this as a living.
It's hard to say which is the go to product because there are to many things to list, but just recently I have been using F5 and found it to be ticking all my boxes when it comes to that sweet spot for correcting paint or for using it as single stage detail.
I've used PF and EX 04-06 lots of times and they have never let me down especially when am dealing with soft to medium paints, but on hard paint and depending on what pad you use F5 has plenty of cut and finishes nicely.
But I would still keep the other two for other scenarios
Many thanks for the input - I might go for the 04-06 as priority then when I come across a car with harder paint I’ll invest in the Koch f5 maybe.
I don’t do it for a living as such but I’m getting more and more requests to correct & protect cars recently but have been doing this for quite a few years now.
Just out of interest, how do you find that Koch f5 finishes down compared to 0406?
