Expert Notes

Perfect Finish is the last polishing step. After sanding to P2000 grit or finer, or after a heavier compound, its extremely fine but hard abrasives take out the remaining marks and Sonax says it leaves an optimal gloss without holograms or buffing marks.

Technique matters as much as the polish. Keep the pad flat, use medium to light pressure and work in several short steps with a little fresh polish rather than one long cycle. Sonax checks the result under a hologram lamp after wiping the panel, and it is silicone free, so it is safe to use in a paint shop.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Refinished paintwork
  • Sanded paint repairs
  • Factory paintwork
  • Clear coat
  • Painted bumpers

Caution: Do not use it on hot surfaces, never polish completely dry and never use different polishes on one pad.

How To Use

Prepare

  1. Wash and dry the paint and mask the trim.
  2. If needed, sand with P2000 grit or finer, or pre-polish with a heavier compound.
  3. Fit a medium or soft foam pad to a variable-speed rotary polisher.

Polish

  1. Apply a small amount of polish to the pad.
  2. Polish with the pad flat and medium to light pressure.
  3. Never polish completely dry: work in several short steps, adding small amounts of polish.
  4. Wipe off the residue with a soft microfibre cloth and light pressure.
  5. Check the result under a hologram lamp after a panel wipe.

Top Tip: Several short passes with a little fresh polish beat one long cycle, Sonax says, and never let the pad run dry.

The Brand

Sonax

SONAX is a German car care maker based in Neuburg an der Donau, making car care products since 1950. After the Second World War, Franz Hoffmann began making care products under the Sona name, used mainly for household silver polishes; for the car care line an X, standing for wax, was added, and SONAX was born. Today SONAX GmbH is the German market leader for car care, sold in 110 countries, and it treats Made in Germany as a promise to its customers, private and professional alike, as well as the motorsport industry.

At The Drivers HQ we stock SONAX online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop, across its two main lines: XTREME for enthusiasts and PROFILINE for professional detailing. Popular choices include CutMax, Perfect Finish, XTREME Ceramic Active Shampoo, XTREME Spray+Seal and the PROFILINE Leather Cleaner.

Choosing a SONAX PROFILINE polish

SONAX rates its PROFILINE polishes for cut and degree of gloss, and gives the finest sanding marks each one removes, so you can match the polish to the paint.

  • CutMax (cut 6, gloss 4) is a highly abrasive polish for rotary machines, for heavily weathered, scratched or sanded paint. It removes sanding marks of P1000 and finer, and its Low Dust Technology keeps dust down.
  • Ultimate Cut (cut 6+, gloss 3) removes marks of up to P1000 even faster at high polishing speeds, for fresh paintwork or very large surfaces such as motorhomes and boats. It is silicone-free.
  • Cut+Finish (cut 5, gloss 5) is a single-stage polish that removes P1500 sanding marks, nibs and spray mist with a high gloss and easy wipe-off. It is silicone-free and low dusting.
  • Perfect Finish is the finishing polish: it removes marks of up to P2000 grit and leaves a high gloss without holograms or buffing marks. It is silicone-free and can be used on an orbital machine when only a finish is needed.

On heavily marked paint, cut with CutMax or Ultimate Cut and then refine with Perfect Finish; if one stage is enough, use Cut+Finish. Use a separate pad for each polish, clean the pads regularly and keep off hot panels. For pads and machines, see our polishing pads and polishing machines.
