When you prime a fresh pad, soak it right across the face — only then do the abrasives and the pad actually work together. From the second section on, 3 to 5 pea-sized drops per 40\u0026times;40 cm panel is enough. Flood half the pad again on the second section and you end up with a layer of leftover compound residue that visibly drags the gloss down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCold paint. Soak the pad. Work it to translucent.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Heavy Cut H9.02 only goes on cold, dry, contamination-free paint. Leftover contamination acts like grit and cuts fresh scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore every polishing round, the paint needs degreasing — best with an IPA cleaner from the prep range, to kill off any wax residue first. For machine choice, the maker sets a clear order: a rotary at medium speed for maximum cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 generation of the Heavy Cut pads now also lets you run them on dual-action polishers (DA polishers) — gloss stays comparable, the cutting time per panel goes up by about 20 percent. On the fresh pad you lay down an even film when you prime, spread it with finger pressure while the machine is off, then start at speed 1 to 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking a crosshatch pattern with moderate pressure, you take a panel of 40 by 40 centimetres until the compound goes translucent. That is the point where the abrasives have fully broken down and the aluminium oxide has hit its finest grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore that point the grit still cuts too hard and leaves a rough microsurface; past that point the pad runs dry and throws holograms. Two to three section passes per panel is the standard — on heavier defects, shrink the panel rather than stretch the working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou wipe the residue off with a clean, edgeless microfibre cloth — don't rub, wipe. Between panels, check the pad for saturation: if it is caked and shiny, loosen it up with a pad-cleaning brush; if it is smeared, swap it instead of fighting on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-heavy-cut-h9-02-grobe-schleifpolitur_anwendung.jpg?v=1776554761\" alt=\"Detailing1 applying Koch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 with a rotary on clear coat\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCut rating 9.0 clears P1200. Down to primer it won't.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 is a correction compound, not a repair. Anything that sits within the thickness of the clear coat — swirls from automatic car washes, buffer trails, sanding marks after wet-sanding down to P1200, water-spot etching, light bird-dropping etching, UV dulling — comes back in one to three passes. Anything that already reaches into the colour coat or primer won't be fixed by any polish on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA paint thickness gauge is a must for serious work at cut rating 9. Modern OEM clear coats run between 40 and 60 microns, and a single H9.02 pass takes off 1 to 3 microns depending on pad and pressure. Work with no gauge and correct three times, and on jet-black clear coat you'll be down to the colour coat faster than you'd think — and then neither a finishing polish nor a sealant saves you, only a respray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest limits: bitumen, tar and silicone stains don't react chemically with the aluminium oxide — for those you need a tar remover before you polish. Very soft Japanese clear coats (Toyota white, a few Mazda reds) can tip into the hologram phase fast with the lambswool pad, so here you're better off starting straight with the Foam Pad Red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor fine correction of medium scratches the H9.02 is overkill — that's where the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-fine-cut-f601-schleifpolitur-fein\"\u003eFine Cut F6.01\u003c\/a\u003e is the right tool.

For the occasional polisher it's overkill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's aimed at keen home detailers with a rotary or DA polisher, semi-pro reconditioners with a regular fleet workload, and shops prepping used cars for resale. If you refresh your new car once a year, you're a lot better off with a finer polish like the F6.01 or an all-rounder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn cost, the 250 ml bottle is already the standard size for home use: at 2 to 3 millilitres per panel it lasts for around 100 to 125 panels, or roughly three to four full corrections — that works out to a material cost of about 14 to 17 cents per panel, priming the pad included. The 1-litre bottle pays off from the tenth correction job a year, and the 5-litre canister is the bulk size for outfits running flat out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn day-to-day Detailing1 work the H9.02 never stands alone — it's step 1 in a two- to three-stage polishing system. The typical Koch-Chemie workflow: H9.02 on the Heavy Cut Pad Red for the coarse correction, Fine Cut F6.01 on the Fine Cut Foam Pad Yellow to even out the sanding structure, Micro Cut M3.02 to clear the holograms. Skip step 3 and you accept visible micro-sanding marks on dark paint. Over 87 percent of our H9.02 buyers add the F6.01 to the same basket — exactly for this reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut the biggest lever for a clean result is neither the polish nor the pad — it's the state of the paint before the first drop. Clean prep — clay bar, IPA wipedown, taping off the trim — saves a full polishing pass on average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe best H9.02 tip from our bench, though, only comes at the end: after polishing, wipe the paint down with IPA again before you seal. The leftover oils from the pad are otherwise enough to cut the lifespan of a ceramic coating by 30 to 40 percent — and you only notice three months later. Keep pads damp after the session in a bucket of warm water and pad cleaner, don't let them dry out — that halves their service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/d1_koch-chemie-heavy-cut-h9-02-grobe-schleifpolitur_lineup.jpg?v=1776554776\" alt=\"Koch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 250ml 1000ml 5 litre line-up Detailing1\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":48495549710671,"sku":"D1-KCX-458001","price":62.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250ml","offer_id":48495549677903,"sku":"D1-KCX-458250","price":17.66,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-heavy-cut-h9-02-grobe-schleifpolitur.jpg?v=1710775571"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-heavy-quick-cut-b9-01-starke-schleifpolitur","title":"Heavy Quick Cut \"B9.01\" Heavy Cutting Compound","description":"\u003ch2\u003eKnock out deep scratches and heavy oxidation in one step — with the Koch-Chemie Heavy Quick Cut \"B9.01\" Heavy Cutting Compound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Koch-Chemie Heavy Quick Cut \"B9.01\" is a powerful cutting compound with cut grade 9.0 for machine correction of deep scratches, heavy oxidation and coarse sanding marks from P1500 grit upward — silicone-oil-free, suitable for all paint types and built to be the first stage in Koch-Chemie's multi-step polishing process.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut grade 9.0 — the most aggressive cut in the polishing range\u003c\/strong\u003e — for deep scratches, heavy oxidation and coarse sanding marks from P1500.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone-oil-free, plays nice with every coating\u003c\/strong\u003e — no silicone fillers that mask paint defects instead of correcting them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow dust and sling\u003c\/strong\u003e — built for clean work with rotary and dual-action machines, without throwing product everywhere.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do you actually need a heavy cut compound for — and when is it the right call?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Koch-Chemie polishing system, the \u003cstrong\u003eHeavy Quick Cut B9.01\u003c\/strong\u003e is the heaviest hitter in the lineup. With a cut grade of 9.0, it's built for paint that finer compounds like the Fine Cut F6.01 or the Lack-Polish range simply won't cut deep enough on. Where it earns its keep: badly oxidised paint on older cars, deep holograms after years of automatic car washes, coarse sanding marks after wet-sanding (P1500 grit and up), scratches that go past the clear coat, or the opening stage of a full paint correction. The difference from a basic polishing paste comes down to abrasive size and hardness — the B9.01 actually removes material instead of just filling defects.

Rotaries build more heat and friction through their combined spin-and-travel motion — which fires up the B9.01's abrasives more effectively. You can run the B9.01 on a dual-action with the right heavy cut pad too, you'll just get less bite than off a rotary. Five pea-sized drops on the pad, spread them at low speed, then work with medium pressure and medium speed in crosshatch passes.

If you want to correct light to medium scratches in one step and pull a high-gloss finish at the same time, grab the purple P2.03.

What that means in practice is easy to picture with the cut rating of 2.0. That figure sits well below cutting compounds like the Koch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 (cut rating 9.0), but noticeably above a pure finishing polish with no bite at all. The abrasives in the P2.03 are fine enough to mechanically level out hazing, holograms and fine scratches down to a certain depth — yet they remove so little material that delicate paints, clear coats and even scratch-resistant systems can be worked without a second thought. What surprises a lot of people day-to-day: the P2.03 doesn't dry out while you work it, and it spreads happily even at moderate temperatures without the polish flashing off on the surface. The gloss rating of 9.3 is one of the highest finish values in the Koch-Chemie line-up — for a sense of what that means: the Micro Cut M2.02 also hits high gloss, but it's geared purely toward hologram and swirl correction with no protective component. The P2.03 adds the bonus of built-in protection, which makes it the more efficient pick in a lot of detailing workflows. Important for dark paint: on black or deeply pigmented clears, holograms and hazing show up the most — and this is exactly where the P2.03 plays to its strengths, because the high gloss rating brings out the depth and colour saturation of these paints beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the Lack-Polish violett the right way — workflow, pads and machines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the P2.03 touches the surface, give the car a thorough wash and — depending on the state of the paint — decontaminate it with a clay bar. Fallout, tar residue and brake dust left on the paint would get dragged in during polishing and could cut in deep scratches. Give the P2.03 a good shake before you use it. Never work the paint in direct sun or on hot surfaces — that goes for the P2.03 and any polish, full stop. For the best cut, Koch-Chemie recommends a rotary at medium speed; the cleanest finish with no machine marks comes off a dual-action polisher. In the two-stage Koch-Chemie system the P2.03 is typically the final polishing step: step 1 handles the heavy correction (Heavy Cut H9.02 or Fine Cut F6.01), step 2 the abrasive gloss polish with the P2.03 or, alternatively, the Micro Cut M2.02. If you want to lay down a protective layer afterwards, you can apply the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-ceramic-allround-c0-02-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eCeramic Allround C0.02 ceramic sealant\u003c\/a\u003e — the protective wax content of the P2.03 won't get in the way as long as you wipe the panel down with IPA first.

The typical jobs: a car that's spent years parked outside with a clear coat gone slightly matt from UV; a used car carrying holograms from car-wash visits; a brand-new car showing its first swirl marks after the first run through winter. In every one of those cases the P2.03 has enough correction depth to bring the surface back to a high gloss without needing an upstream heavy-cut step. The same goes for motorbikes, vans and motorhomes: wherever there's painted bodywork, the P2.03 can go to work — by machine or with a hand applicator for small areas and tight spots. For pro detailers the P2.03 is especially worth a look when no ceramic coating follows the job and the polish's wax film is enough to serve as short-term protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e The pad decides the character of the P2.03.

For visible weathering and heavier hazing, grab the hard \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-polierpad-micro-cut-hard-foam-pad-violett-2024\"\u003eMicro Cut Hard Foam Pad Violett\u003c\/a\u003e, which lifts the cut of the P2.03 noticeably without you swapping the polish itself. Only ever drop five pea-sized blobs on the pad — the P2.03 goes a long way, and too much polish makes it harder to work out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eP2.03 compared: when to reach for Micro Cut M2.02 or Fine Cut F6.01 instead?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Koch-Chemie line-up has three polishes that look like they do similar jobs at first glance, but in the detail they have clearly different strengths. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-micro-cut-m2-02-hochglanz-antihologramm-politur\"\u003eMicro Cut M2.02\u003c\/a\u003e is the pure anti-hologram and high-gloss polish with no protective content — the right call when a ceramic or polymer coating follows the polish, because no wax residue messes with the bonding surface. If you want to seal straight after polishing, you take the M2.02 and wipe the panel down with IPA. The P2.03, on the other hand, is the better shout when the paint needs to stay looking good for a few weeks or months with no sealant — the built-in wax content protects and shines at the same time. The Fine Cut F6.01 sits a step up in abrasiveness: cut rating 6.0 for medium scratches and oxidation. If you've got deeper defects the P2.03 can't fully correct on its own, you start with the F6.01 and finish with the P2.03 — that's the classic two-stage Koch-Chemie system. If you've already knocked out the correction work before the P2.03 with a hard \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-polierpad-heavy-cut-foam-pad-rot-2024\"\u003eHeavy Cut Foam Pad Rot\u003c\/a\u003e and a stronger polish, the P2.03 gets you to that perfect finish. The competition — say Menzerna Super Finish SF 3800 or Rupes UNO Protect — also offers gloss polishes with a protective component, though often without the same flexibility from pad choice. Koch-Chemie's colour system makes the pad pairing especially practical: violet pad = P2.03, no risk of mixing them up under time pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Koch-Chemie Lack-Polish violett P2.03 the right choice for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P2.03 is the perfect pick for ambitious hobby detailers and professional reconditioners after a product that brings correction and high gloss together in a single bottle. If you're working a car with light to moderate weathering and don't necessarily want to lay down a sealant afterwards, the P2.03 is the most efficient finishing step in your workflow. For pros prepping cars day in, day out who want to trim their working time, the built-in protection regularly saves a separate sealing step. If, on the other hand, you run nothing but ceramic coatings and always IPA-wipe after polishing, you're better off with the pure \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-micro-cut-m2-02-hochglanz-antihologramm-politur\"\u003eMicro Cut M2.02\u003c\/a\u003e — because there's no wax residue in play.

Those who want to refresh already well-maintained paint or remove fine water spots and dull films after winter care don't need a strong abrasive product—but a fine polish that works gently and protects at the same time. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Polish+Wax 3\u003c\/strong\u003e is exactly that: a light combination polish that removes fine scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation haze from the clear coat and, in a single step, seals it with Hybrid NetProtection Technology. The result is a mirror-like high gloss with depth—without overstressing the paint. As the finest representative of the XTREME Polish+Wax series, it is the logical choice for the final polishing stage in a multi-step workflow or as a stand-alone product for vehicles in good paint condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does \"fine polishing effect\" concretely mean? Clear coat has a limited thickness—between 30 and 60 micrometers for most vehicles. Every polish removes a bit of it. An aggressive abrasive polish can remove 5–10 micrometers in a single polishing pass, while a fine polish removes less than 1–2 micrometers. This makes a significant difference for the longevity of the paint: with the right polish of the right strength, the clear coat can be regularly maintained for many years without the thickness becoming problematic. This is the true added value of a well-graded polish selection—and the Polish+Wax 3 precisely fills the important niche of gentle, regularly usable fine polish with integrated sealant, which is missing from many vehicle owners' assortments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight polishing action for gentle paint correction.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Polish+Wax 3 is formulated with fine polishing abrasives that effectively remove superficial scratches and micro-scratches from the clear coat without cutting deeper into the paint than necessary.

Especially on dark paints, the difference from an untreated or only waxed surface is clearly visible—the paint appears fresh, intense, and three-dimensional.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e It is best to apply Polish+Wax 3 by machine with a soft finishing pad — low to medium speed, low pressure. This ensures the polishing effect is evenly applied without stressing the clear coat. If polishing by hand: work in small sections (30 × 30 cm), using crosshatch movements, applying the product with medium pressure. After flashing off (surface becoming slightly dull), buff off — then the full shine will emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHybrid NetProtection Technology — the sealing formula behind Polish+Wax 3\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHybrid NetProtection Technology (NPT) is the technological core of the entire XTREME Polish+Wax series. Behind the name lies a sealing approach that links organic and inorganic protective components—similar to a chemical network that is built directly on the clear coat. Inorganic components like silicon-based compounds are hard, UV-resistant, and protect against mechanical influences such as dirt and water. Organic components like waxes or polymers are flexible, adhere well to the paint, and provide the typical shine and soft feel. The combination of both systems creates a protective layer that is neither too rigid nor too soft—it adapts to temperature fluctuations, adheres permanently, and encourages water to bead off. For users, this means: one product, two functions. There is no need for separate waxing or sealing after polishing. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Polish+Wax 3\u003c\/strong\u003e completes both steps in one operation and delivers a result that can compete with a separately applied sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo what makes Polish+Wax 3 different from other one-step products? The key lies in the quality of the polishing abrasives. Cheap combination polishes often rely on coarse abrasive compounds that quickly deliver visible results but also put more stress on the paint. The fine polishing abrasives in Polish+Wax 3 are sized to effectively remove dull films, watermarks, and swirls without penetrating deeper clear coat layers. This protects the material sustainably and allows the product to be used regularly without fear of long-term thinning of the clear coat—a decisive advantage over stronger abrasive polishes in continuous use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother advantage: the product is easy to control. Where aggressive polishes can quickly lead to burn-throughs on edges or raised areas, the fine formulation is forgiving—even for less experienced users, the risk of over-polishing is low. The NPT sealant, which is built up during the polishing process, requires no curing time like ceramic products and no separately applied layer—it is created directly during polishing and is immediately active after buffing. This significantly simplifies the entire care process and makes Polish+Wax 3 a reliable all-rounder for regular paint care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying XTREME Polish+Wax 3 — Step-by-step to a high-gloss result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore polishing, always ensure a thorough wash: remove dirt, road film, and loose particles from the paint—preferably after a two-bucket wash or foam wash, so that no abrasive particles remain on the paint. If you want to achieve the maximum result, perform an iron decontamination step before polishing to remove embedded iron particles. The actual polishing with Polish+Wax 3 then takes place on clean, dry paint. The product can be applied both by machine and by hand: with a polishing machine (dual action or rotary polisher) and a soft finishing pad, consistent results can be achieved on large surfaces; by hand, it is suitable for smaller corrections or for owners without a machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended procedure: Drip a small amount of product onto the pad, spread it at low speed, and then work it in evenly at medium speed. Do not apply the product in direct sunlight or on hot paint—the bonding will occur too quickly, making buffing more difficult. After working it in, allow it to flash off briefly (until the surface becomes slightly dull) and then buff it off with a clean microfiber cloth. The result is immediately visible: a uniformly shiny paint without residues. Polish+Wax 3 is also suitable for beginners in paint care—the light color of the product and its easy dosing make it simple to apply the right amount and avoid over-application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor working on trim strips, mirrors, or tight areas, we recommend a smaller polishing pad or hand application with a folded microfiber cloth. This allows for an even result even in hard-to-reach areas, without getting product on rubber seals or plastic parts. If you plan several passes—for example, on a vehicle that has not been maintained for a long time—you should check the result in the right light (darkroom lamp or daylight) after each pass before applying the next layer. This avoids unnecessary repetitions and saves time and material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of application — when Polish+Wax 3 is the best choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe XTREME Polish+Wax 3 is ideal for vehicles whose paint is generally in good condition but would benefit from a refresh. Typical situations: after the winter break, when residual dirt and water spots are baked into the clear coat; after a polishing cycle with a stronger polish, as a final fine-tuning step; or after a drive through sand or fine dust that has left fine swirls on the paint. For heavier scratches or deeper oxidation damage—visible grooves, sanding marks, full-surface dullness—it reaches its limits. In this case, a stronger abrasive polish would be the correct first step, followed by Polish+Wax 3 as a finisher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt works particularly well on dark paint colors such as black, dark blue, or graphite metallic—here, the sensitivity to fine scratches and haze is highest, and at the same time, the visual effect of a successful polish is most impressive. It can be used just as effectively on light paints, but the visible difference before and after is naturally somewhat less pronounced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also suitable for vehicles with clear coat sealant or paint protection film, provided the sealant is not already too thick or too hard—in this case, it should be checked before polishing whether the protective layer is still intact. After polishing with Polish+Wax 3, further sealing is optional, as NPT technology already builds up a protective layer. If you still wish to apply an additional sealant, you can immediately apply a compatible sealant or ceramic coating—the degreased and prepared paint surface after polishing offers ideal conditions for this. Regular care with the fine polish in spring and autumn protects the paint from the strongest stress periods of the year—after the road salt winter and before the UV-intensive summer season—and keeps it in a condition that requires hardly any corrective measures in the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolish+Wax 3 in comparison — how it fits into the SONAX XTREME Polish series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe XTREME Polish+Wax line is sorted by cut level: The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-xtreme-polish-wax-2-politur\"\u003eXTREME Polish+Wax 2\u003c\/a\u003e offers a medium polishing effect—ideal for dull films, but also for lighter scratches and moderate oxidation. The Polish+Wax 3 is the finer variant: it corrects less aggressively, which makes it predestined for the final polishing step or for already well-maintained paints. Both share the Hybrid NPT sealant, but differ in polishing grade. Those who want a clean, soft finish after an intensive correction with Polish+Wax 2 or a professional abrasive polish will complete the workflow with Polish+Wax 3—and have thus completed polishing and sealing in one step. This two-stage approach—first medium correction, then fine finishing and sealing—is a proven workflow in professional paint detailing and can also be achieved with XTREME products without having to switch to the professional machine polishing line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlternatively, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-polish-all-in-one-politur\"\u003eXTREME Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\"\u003c\/a\u003e is available as a modern ceramic variant—it combines light polishing abrasion with a ceramic sealant that creates an even harder and more durable protective layer than NPT technology. If you are looking for maximum sealant durability and want to polish and seal with one product, the Ceramic Polish takes you one step further. For regular, simpler refreshment without much effort, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-xtreme-brilliantwax-1-politur-wachsversiegelung\"\u003eXTREME BrilliantWax 1\u003c\/a\u003e is an alternative: a light hand wax polish for quick deep gloss between maintenance intervals. The Polish+Wax 3 positions itself between these products—more corrective power than BrilliantWax, more accessibility than ceramic systems. For the systematic detailer who chooses different care products depending on the paint condition, it is the natural first choice for the status \"paint maintained, minor optimizations desired\"—before deciding whether a more intensive correction is really necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePurchase Recommendation — Who benefits from SONAX Polish+Wax 3\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Polish+Wax 3\u003c\/strong\u003e is the right product for anyone who wants to keep their paintwork in top condition regularly without having to resort to an aggressive abrasive every time. It is particularly suitable for paint care beginners looking for a forgiving product, and for experienced detailers who use it as a finishing step in a staged polishing workflow. The combination of genuine polishing correction and integrated long-term sealant makes it one of the most versatile products in the XTREME range. The 500 ml bottle is sufficient for several complete vehicle treatments, making it a good value for money. Those who attach particular importance to sustainable paint protection and want to think one step further can combine Polish+Wax 3 as a correction step with a final ceramic sealant for maximum long-term effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur conclusion: If you are looking for a universal paint care product that works quickly, easily, and with visible results—and also seals—the Polish+Wax 3 is an excellent choice. It is not a tool for intensive paint correction of deep damage, but for everything that comes after or is needed in between, it has the right format: friendly and forgiving in application, consistent and even in results, and good value. It is particularly recommended for vehicles with well-maintained, but no longer quite fresh paint—i.e., the broad middle ground of the German vehicle fleet with registration years between three and ten years. In this class, often not much is missing for a top result, and the fine polishing effect of Polish+Wax 3 is sufficient to fully exploit this potential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":49160876949839,"sku":"D1-SNX-0202200","price":16.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Sonax-XTREME-Polish-Wax-3-9.png?v=1721514206"},{"product_id":"sonax-xtreme-polish-wax-2-politur","title":"XTREME Polish+Wax 2 Polish","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEliminate fine scratches and build up lasting deep shine with SONAX XTREME Polish+Wax 2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does SONAX XTREME Polish+Wax 2 do?

This saves time and ensures that the freshly polished surface is sealed immediately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMirror-like deep shine with intensive color refreshment.\u003c\/strong\u003e The extremely fine abrasive particles in Polish+Wax 2 are designed for new and regularly maintained paints – they smooth the clear coat surface without unnecessarily removing paint material. The result is an evenly reflective surface with deep color saturation, especially on dark paint colors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHybrid NetProtection Technology – a seal that bonds with the paint.\u003c\/strong\u003e NPT technology links inorganic and organic protective components to form a stable network on the paint surface. This network is more weather-resistant than simple wax layers and provides long-term protection against UV radiation, acid rain, and organic deposits such as insect residue and bird droppings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protect plastic and rubber parts before polishing with XTREME Plastic Gel Exterior – polish residues in crevices and on rubber seals are difficult to remove and leave white marks. Apply the polish to dry paint, spread it thinly, and immediately work it in with a medium-hard microfiber cloth – do not let it dry. For machine application with a polishing pad set, Polish+Wax 2 provides particularly even results because the machine heat activates the NPT cross-linking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHybrid NetProtection Technology – how polishing and sealing chemically work in one step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHybrid NetProtection Technology is the chemical core of Polish+Wax 2 and explains why the product does more than a simple \"polish with wax content.\" Conventional combination polishes use wax as a sealing component – this works, but wax layers are comparatively short-lived and sensitive to alkaline cleaners and UV radiation. Hybrid NPT technology takes a different approach: It combines inorganic protective components (similar to those used in mineral sealants) with organic polymers to form a hybrid network. This hybrid structure bonds more strongly with the clear coat surface than pure wax and is simultaneously more flexible than purely inorganic sealants, which break more quickly under mechanical stress. The result is a protective layer that combines the advantages of both material categories: the chemical resistance of inorganic compounds and the mechanical flexibility of organic polymers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe abrasive particles in Polish+Wax 2 are designed for a medium cut grade – they remove fine scratches of depth class 1 to 2 (wash scratches, brush marks, slight holograms) without penetrating deep into the clear coat. This is an important difference from more aggressive polishes used on heavily weathered or deeply damaged paint: A gentle cut grade protects the clear coat from excessive material removal and extends the paint's lifespan. For new vehicles and regularly maintained paints, the medium polishing effect of Polish+Wax 2 is the right entry into paint care – those who treat their paint twice a year with it will keep it in new condition permanently, without depleting the clear coat layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA common misconception: Combination polishes are less effective than separate polishing and sealing steps. This is not generally true. For heavily neglected paints with deep scratches and an oxidized surface, a multi-stage detailing process with aggressive pre-polish, cleaning polish, and separate sealant is advisable. For all other cases – new paints, regular maintenance polishing, seasonal refreshment – a combination polish is the more efficient solution. It saves time, reduces the number of products needed, and delivers completely sufficient results for everyday use. Polish+Wax 2 ideally closes this gap between \"not polishing at all\" and \"professional multi-step detailing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Polish+Wax 2 correctly – step-by-step to a deep shine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Polish+Wax 2\u003c\/strong\u003e must begin with a thorough vehicle wash. Dirt, grit, and brake dust on the paint would act as abrasives during polishing, creating deep scratches that would be significantly worse than the original condition. After washing, completely dry the vehicle – polishes work much better on dry paint and adhere more evenly. Before polishing, protect plastic and rubber areas with masking tape or XTREME Plastic Gel to prevent polish residues from getting into crevices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply the polish to a SONAX application sponge or a polishing ball and spread it on the paint in even, overlapping movements. The correct technique is crucial for the result: linear back-and-forth or slightly cross-hatching paths are better than circular movements, which can create holograms. Apply the polish thinly and evenly – too much product makes wiping more difficult and does not improve the result. Divide the paint into manageable sections: hood, roof, trunk lid, and each side. Immediately wipe off with a medium-hard, clean microfiber cloth after spreading, before the polish dries. Dry polish residues are difficult to remove and can create streaks. For the best result, it is recommended to polish the treated area again with a second, fresh microfiber cloth after wiping – this second wipe removes the last residues and brings out the full high gloss that the NPT sealant makes possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake in hand application is too much pressure during buffing. Polishes do not require heavy pressure – the chemical action of the abrasive particles is sufficient to smooth fine scratches. Too much pressure generates heat, which breaks down the abrasive particles too quickly and causes the sealing components to cure too early before they have spread evenly on the paint. Light, even pressure with calm, overlapping movements is the recipe for consistent results. When working outdoors, be aware of direct sunlight: If the paint surface is hot (above approx. 30°C), the polish should be applied in the shade or after cooling, as heat significantly shortens the working time and can lead to dry spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolish+Wax 2 is expressly suitable for machine application. An eccentric polisher with a medium-hard polishing pad provides more even results than hand application, as the machine ensures constant pressure distribution and consistent speed. Important: Prime the pad completely with polish before starting so that the first pass does not create a dry friction pattern. After machine application, polish to a high gloss with a fresh microfiber cloth. The water beading effect of the NPT sealant is visible after the first application – at the latest after the first rain, the typical lotus effect will appear on the freshly treated paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication areas – when Polish+Wax 2 is the best choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolish+Wax 2 was developed for a clearly defined range of applications and delivers excellent results there: new vehicles (0–3 years) with fine everyday scratches, regularly maintained vehicles that need a seasonal refresh (spring care after winter, autumn care before the salt season), and paint surfaces with slight UV-induced haze. In this application area, the medium polishing effect is just right: It completely eliminates existing defects and leaves no unnecessary damage to the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimitations of Polish+Wax 2: For deep scratches, severe oxidation, orange peel, or heavy holograms, a stronger pre-polish is needed. XTREME Polish+Wax 3 has a stronger cut grade and is the right choice for more heavily worn paints – but it also requires more control over the polishing agent, as too much abrasion can damage the clear coat. For entry into active paint care, Polish+Wax 2 is therefore the more recommendable choice, as it is less likely to cause damage with incorrect technique. \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-brilliantwax-1-politur-wachsversiegel\"\u003eXTREME BrilliantWax 1\u003c\/a\u003e is not a polishing-wax product in the true sense, but a polish with wax sealant for very light defects and gentle surface care – it has less cutting power than Polish+Wax 2, but due to its increased wax content, it offers a particularly soft, warm gloss note that is preferred especially on classic cars and rare vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to products from other manufacturers, Polish+Wax 2 is one of the most complete solutions on the market in its price segment because it polishes and seals without compromise in one step. Many entry-level combination polishes sacrifice either polishing performance or sealing performance – Polish+Wax 2 maintains both at a professional level. \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-polish-wax-3-politur\"\u003eXTREME Polish+Wax 3\u003c\/a\u003e is the stronger alternative for pronounced defects and can be used as a preliminary step before Polish+Wax 2. The combination of both products – first Polish+Wax 3 for defect removal, then Polish+Wax 2 for fine finishing and final sealing – is a professional two-step workflow that delivers excellent results even on heavily neglected paints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying recommendation – for whom Polish+Wax 2 is the right choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Polish+Wax 2\u003c\/strong\u003e is the right choice for anyone who wants to take paint care into their own hands and has a vehicle with slightly to moderately worn paint. It is simple enough for beginners who have no experience with polishes, and precise enough for experienced detailers looking for a quick and reliable maintenance polishing step. The 500 ml container is sufficient for several complete vehicle treatments and offers very good value for money for the quality offered – both the polishing performance and the sealing performance of the Hybrid NPT are at a significantly higher level than comparable combination polishes in the supermarket segment. The noticeable difference becomes apparent at the latest after the first rain: the water beading effect of the NPT sealant is immediately visible even to laypeople and is a reliable sign that the sealant has been applied correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor seasonal paint care, we recommend Polish+Wax 2 twice a year – in spring to remove salt residues and winter-related micro-scratches, and in autumn to prepare the paint for the demanding winter season. This regular routine keeps the paint permanently in a condition that prevents most fine defects from occurring in the first place, because the sealant acts as a protective buffer between the paint and environmental influences. Those who maintain this maintenance rhythm and use a quick detailer for short-term refreshment between polishing sessions will have permanently cared for paint without much effort. Regular care is not only aesthetically sensible but also protects the vehicle's value in the long term – well-maintained paint ages significantly slower and protects the body from corrosion risks due to penetrating moisture. At Detailing1, you will find the polish together with the suitable accessories – application sponges, microfiber cloths, and polishing pad sets for machine application – for the complete polishing workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":49160877343055,"sku":"D1-SNX-02072000","price":16.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/Sonax-XTREME-Polish-Wax-2-0.png?v=1721514375"},{"product_id":"carpro-ceriglass-polis-cleaner-glaspolitur","title":"\"CeriGlass\" Polish \u0026 Cleaner glass polish","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarPro CeriGlass Polish \u0026amp; Cleaner glass polish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarPro CeriGlass\u003c\/strong\u003e is a seriously modern take on glass restoration that blends ceramic abrasives, cerium oxide and nanotech ingredients.

Apply the product to a slightly moistened foam pad — a dry pad leads to uneven application and increased product consumption. Allow the product to soften briefly before polishing it off: For machine application, an exposure time of 30 seconds is sufficient before the second polishing pass for polishing begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolish-Wax Technology in BrilliantWax 1 — how abrasive and sealing components work together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA combi-polish like BrilliantWax 1 contains two functional components: abrasives and wax sealant. The abrasives are fine enough to mechanically remove superficial dullness and micro-scratches in the clear coat without deeply affecting the paint structure. After polishing off, the wax component remains as a thin, protective film on the surface, deepening the gloss and protecting the paint surface from water, dust, and light dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main difference to pure polishes lies in the finishing phase: After a pure polish, the paint is bare and unprotected — a separate sealant must follow before the vehicle is exposed to weather or moisture. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-brilliantwax-1-politur-wachsversiegelung\"\u003eXTREME BrilliantWax 1\u003c\/a\u003e includes this step in the same product application. This is not a compromise on sealing quality, as long as the frequency of application remains moderate and a high-performance sealant with a long service life is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWax-based sealants have the advantage that they are very easy to apply and polish off, create a warm, natural shine, and harmonize with practically all paints and colors. Synthetic waxes, as used in BrilliantWax 1, combine the classic advantages of natural wax with improved temperature resistance and more uniform layer formation. The result is a surface that shimmers silkily, reliably repels water, and allows dust and light dirt to adhere less — all properties that facilitate the next wash and keep the paint in better condition between care intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wax component in BrilliantWax 1 is designed for short to medium service lives. Depending on exposure, vehicle use, and weather conditions, the protective effect lasts several weeks to a few months — longer for garaged or lightly used vehicles. For vehicle owners who regularly treat their vehicle with BrilliantWax 1 — for example, quarterly — continuous protection is built up, keeping the paint in good condition in the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn important technical point concerns silicone freedom. For workshop vehicles or vehicles that are to be painted afterwards, it is important not to use silicone-containing care products that impair paint adhesion during rework. The user should check the product data sheet if BrilliantWax 1 is used before a planned painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe optimal application temperature is between 10 and 30 degrees Celsius. Below 10 degrees, the viscosity of the product increases, which makes polishing difficult; above 30 degrees, the wax layer dries too quickly, which can lead to stubborn streaks. Those who polish on hot summer days should place the vehicle in the shade beforehand and ensure a cool surface. Polishing in the garage with closed doors or early in the morning before the heat of the day delivers reproducibly better, more consistent results than working directly in the midday sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication of BrilliantWax 1 — Step-by-Step Workflow for Optimal Results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore polishing, a thorough wash is mandatory: Loose dirt particles on the paint surface act as an abrasive during polishing and create scratches instead of removing them. After washing, an optional clay treatment or iron remover treatment can free the surface from embedded contaminants that would prevent a clean polishing result. This preparation is the difference between a good and an excellent polishing result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEspecially after the winter season, thorough decontamination is recommended: Brake dust, road salt, and tar splashes penetrate deeply into the paint surface and cannot be completely removed by washing alone. An iron remover chemically dissolves metallic deposits, a clay treatment mechanically removes embedded particles. Only on such a prepared surface does BrilliantWax 1 unleash its full polishing effect — the abrasive particles grip evenly without embedded particles that would create scratches, and the wax adheres cleanly to the freshly polished clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApply BrilliantWax 1 in small quantities to a polishing pad or applicator sponge. Work on a limited area — one panel at a time — until the product has dried slightly and can be polished off. The correct amount can be recognized: Too much product leads to difficult polishability and wasted product without additional effect; too little product dries too quickly and can leave wiping residues. As a guide: For a single panel such as a hood or driver's door, about a hazelnut-sized amount on the pad is sufficient. Those who dose sparingly save product and simultaneously achieve better results because the pad distributes the product more evenly over the surface without oversaturating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen polishing, check the paint against the light: A uniform, streak-free surface without product residues is the goal. Turn cloths regularly to use a fresh cloth surface for polishing. Microfiber cloths with a medium pile structure are best suited for polishing off polish and wax products, as they absorb residues well without leaving scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor machine application, an eccentric polishing machine with 8 to 15 mm stroke is recommended. For the polishing phase, a foam pad with medium hardness is suitable; for polishing off, switch to a soft finishing pad or a microfiber pad. The speed should be moderate during application — too high speeds generate heat that causes the wax to burn before polishing. When polishing off, the speed can be increased slightly to remove the last residues and finalize the shine. Larger vehicles can be worked on efficiently panel by panel, without the areas worked on first drying too much in the meantime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of Use and Limitations — For Which Paint Conditions BrilliantWax 1 is Suitable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrilliantWax 1 is designed for paints with light maintenance needs: Fine micro-scratches from normal driving, slight oxidation, or a loss of gloss due to weathering can be effectively removed by the product. For deep scratches that reach into the base coat, or for heavily oxidized paints with pronounced hazing, the abrasive power of BrilliantWax 1 is not sufficient — here, heavier polishes from the PROFILINE range or special abrasive polishes are necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rule of thumb for assessing whether BrilliantWax 1 is sufficient: If the nail glides over a scratch and does not get caught, the scratch is only in the clear coat — these are precisely the scratches that a mild care polish like BrilliantWax 1 can remove. If the nail gets caught, the scratch goes deeper, and a stronger abrasive polish or even an additional paint treatment would be necessary. This simple test saves time and avoids unnecessary paint removal by overly aggressive products for scratches that cannot be removed with a mild polish anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor new vehicles or freshly prepared paints, BrilliantWax 1 is the ideal maintenance polish: regularly used, it keeps the paint's high gloss at a high level and prevents the formation of deeper oxidation layers that would later have to be corrected with more aggressive means. The principle of prevention — regular gentle care instead of infrequent intensive correction — preserves the clear coat thickness in the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who wants to keep their vehicle paint in top condition permanently benefits from a clearly defined care calendar: Spring and autumn are the classic times for a polishing treatment with BrilliantWax 1. In spring, the residues of the winter season — salt, fine dust, initial pollen deposits — are removed, and the paint is protected for the UV-intensive summer period. In autumn, the surface is prepared for the demanding winter season, when road salt and cold put a particular strain on the paint surface.

Since the product contains both abrasive particles and ceramic binders, too high a machine speed is counterproductive — the ceramic particles can deposit uncontrollably if overheated. Recommended speed: 3,500–4,500 RPM. Let the product dry briefly after polishing (finger test method: a slightly hazy veil that feels dry) before buffing it off with a clean microfiber cloth — then the protective layer will show its full effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSi-Carbon Technology in All-in-One Polish — How Correction and Protection Work Simultaneously\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional wax polishes had not fully solved the challenge of combining abrasive particles and protective waxes in one formula — either the correction performance or the protective effect suffered. Modern all-in-one products with ceramic technology rely on graded particle sizes and new binders that enable a sequential effect: First, the abrasive particles correct, then the ceramic binders deposit a protective layer during the drying process. This phase separation in the formula is the key difference from older AIO products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe basic principle of an all-in-one polish is the combination of two inherently opposing requirements: abrasive particles for removal and protective agents for sealing. The technological balance between both components determines how well an AIO product performs in practice. Too many abrasive particles interfere with protective layer formation; too many protective agents reduce cutting power and correction performance. \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\"\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a precisely matched proportion of particles for light to medium paint corrections, combined with Si-Carbon compounds that deposit as a thin protective layer on the clear coat during the drying process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSi-Carbon technology is the umbrella term for organic-silicon-based compounds that provide a similar protective effect to pure ceramic coatings but are easier to apply. They exhibit hydrophobic properties — water beads off instead of sheeting — and form a barrier against light contamination such as road dust, bird droppings, and insect residues, making them easier to remove during the next wash. The durability of such an Si-Carbon layer from an AIO product, depending on care intensity and environmental exposure, is several months — less durable than a dedicated ceramic coating, but a significant gain in protection compared to a pure polish without any sealing component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe abrasive particles in Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" are calibrated to remove swirls, fine holograms, and light-reflecting micro-scratches on normal clear coat surfaces without affecting deeper layers of the clear coat. It is not an aggressive cutting product — for deep scratches, oxidation, or severely damaged paint, a dedicated correction product is necessary. The XTREME Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" is the tool for so-called \"maintenance correction\" — the regular light refresh that keeps a vehicle in good paint condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" — Step-by-Step by Hand and Machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore an all-in-one polish can unleash its full potential, the paint surface must be in a clean initial state. Many users skip the decontamination phase and find that the polishing result is uneven or the expected correction performance is lacking. Iron particles, tar spots, and bonded contamination form a layer on the paint that stresses the pad and clogs the abrasive particles in the product. A thorough decontamination step is the prerequisite for a good AIO result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe paint surface should be thoroughly washed, decontaminated, and dry before application. Dirt, rust film, or embedded particles on the surface would act like abrasives and cause uncontrolled removal. Pre-treatment with an iron remover and possibly a clay bar product brings the surface to its optimal initial state. Application can begin on a dry, clean surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor hand application: Apply a small amount of product to a soft applicator sponge — a pea-sized amount is sufficient for an A4-sized area. Work in circular motions with medium pressure until the product is evenly distributed. For machine application with a DA orbital polisher: Distribute product on the pad, spread it over the area at a low speed, then increase the speed to 3,500–4,500 RPM and work in overlapping passes. Two to three passes allow the cutting action to work; then reduce the speed and do a final distribution pass. Let the product dry briefly on the panel (finger test method), then wipe off with a clean, soft microfiber cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a complete panel pass — distribute, polish, let dry briefly, wipe off — it is advisable to inspect the surface with a detailing light or in direct sunlight. Remaining areas with holograms or product residues can be re-worked immediately. Early detection of imperfections is particularly important with an AIO product because the dried protective agent is more difficult to correct after final curing (24–48 hours).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn important note on quantity: All-in-one products with a protective crystal component tend to leave a streaky pattern if too much product is applied, which is difficult to wipe off completely. Less product and several thin layers achieve a better result than a single thick application. If resistance is still felt when wiping, the product has not fully dried — wait briefly, then polish again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAll-in-One Results in Practice — Gloss, Protection, and Limitations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter applying XTREME Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\", a dark paint color clearly shows the effect: Swirls and holograms are visibly reduced or gone, and the paint reflects more evenly and deeply. At the same time, a significant increase in hydrophobicity is noticeable — water beads off in small spheres, and rainwater runs off the slope of the roof without sheeting. This water beading effect is an immediate, visually measurable indicator of the Si-Carbon layer's effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA frequently asked question concerns its use on dark vs. light paint colors. XTREME Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" is suitable for all paint colors, but the correction effect is most visible on dark colors (black, dark blue, dark grey) because swirls and holograms reflect more strongly on these surfaces. On light colors like white or silver, the protective effect is just as present, but the optical improvement after polishing is less dramatic. This does not mean that light vehicles do not benefit — the protective effect and improved gloss level are measurable on all colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe product's limitations are clearly in the degree of paint damage: XTREME Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" is not a deep correction product. Scratches that can be felt with a fingernail, deep holograms after rotary polishing, or pronounced oxidation damage exceed the capacity of an AIO product. Here, a two-phase workflow of correction (with a cutting product) and protection (with a dedicated sealant or the ceramic polish as a second step) is the correct approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application temperature influences the formation of the protective layer. Working in a garage or in the shade at temperatures between 15 and 25 °C is ideal. In direct sunlight, the product dries too quickly before the Si-Carbon compounds can deposit evenly — the result is streaking. If you don't have a garage, you should place the vehicle in the shade for at least 30 minutes before application and wait until the surface has cooled down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe durability of the protective layer from Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" depends on vehicle use, care frequency, and environmental exposure. Under normal conditions — regular hand washing, occasional rain, no aggressive cleaning with alkaline shampoos — the layer typically lasts three to six months. If you want longer durability and stronger protection, you can apply a layer of SONAX Ceramic Sealant after XTREME Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" — the AIO provides correction, and the sealant provides lasting protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComparison with other polishes — when All-in-One is enough and when it is not\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a direct comparison with specialized polishes like \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-np-03-06-hochglanz-politur-finish\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE NP \"03-06\"\u003c\/a\u003e, the XTREME Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" is the more accessible product: The NP \"03-06\" is a pure finish polish without protective agents, which produces maximum gloss on professional orbital or rotary machines — but leaves no sealant. The Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" is weaker in correction performance but delivers a complete result in one step. For professional detailing, where correction, finishing, and sealing are performed separately, the NP \"03-06\" is the stronger choice. For regular vehicle care and maintenance polishing, the AIO is the more efficient solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-polish-wax-3-politur\"\u003eSONAX XTREME Polish+Wax 3\u003c\/a\u003e, the Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" differs by its modern ceramic protection component instead of a classic wax component. Wax-based polishes provide a warm paint gloss with good water repellency but are more temperature-sensitive and less chemical-resistant than Si-Carbon protective layers. If you prefer contemporary ceramic protection instead of a Carnauba finish, the Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" is the right choice. If you appreciate a deep, warm Carnauba gloss, choose the Polish+Wax range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you regularly wash your vehicle with a coating-compatible shampoo — such as SONAX XTREME Ceramic ActiveShampoo — you significantly extend the life of the Si-Carbon protective layer. Alkaline cleaners or aggressive wheel cleaners that get on the paint can prematurely break down the hydrophobicity of the protective layer. The product combination of Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" and Ceramic ActiveShampoo is a coordinated care cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn important difference from classic one-step polishes without protective agents lies in the cleaning behavior after application. On vehicles with ceramic or Si-Carbon protection, dirt adheres less and is easier to remove during the next wash. This reduces washing pressure and friction on the paint, which indirectly reduces the occurrence of swirls for the next polishing step. The Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" thus creates a positive spiral: correction plus protection, fewer new scratches, less effort for the next use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor users who already have a dedicated ceramic coating on their vehicle, the Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" can be used as a refreshing polish during the protective layer's lifespan. The abrasive particles are mild enough not to completely remove the sealing layer, while the Si-Carbon components can regenerate the hydrophobicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom the Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" is the right choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX XTREME Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is the ideal product for vehicle owners who want to keep a good used vehicle in top condition regularly, without going through a multi-stage detailing workflow. Anyone who polishes twice a year benefits from a product that reduces swirls, increases gloss, and builds a protective layer in one step. For professional detailers, the AIO offers a practical application for vehicle intake: Slightly damaged new vehicles or used cars in good condition can be prepared quickly with the Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" before a ceramic coating is applied as a protective layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe positioning is also evident in the comparison with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-cut-finish-einstufen-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Cut+Finish\u003c\/a\u003e: Cut+Finish is the professional version with more cutting power, higher concentration, and PROFILINE quality standards — for businesses that work on many vehicles with different paint conditions daily. The XTREME Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" is designed for the demanding private user and occasional professional use who seeks a complete result in one step. As a verified SONAX specialist dealer, Detailing1 permanently carries the XTREME Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" in its assortment and recommends it as an entry point into the Ceramic care range. If you are unsure whether the AIO is sufficient for your own vehicle or whether a two-step workflow with separate correction and sealing is necessary, you can get advice from Detailing1 — based on the paint condition and desired protection duration, the right product combination can always be found. A practical starting point is the fingernail test: If the nail slides over a scratch without getting caught, the Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" can correct it. If the nail catches, a dedicated cutting product is needed. This simple decision rule helps to choose the right product for the respective vehicle, without extensive light inspection. Regular care with the XTREME Ceramic Polish \"All-in-One\" every two to four months keeps a well-maintained vehicle permanently in a condition that comes close to professional detailing — with minimal time expenditure and a product that does not require a separate sealing step.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":49345418592591,"sku":"D1-SNX-247200","price":17.48,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-xtreme-ceramic-polish-all-in-one-politur_500ml.png?v=1721579808"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-metalpolish-metallpolitur","title":"PROFILINE MetalPolish Metal Polish (Medium-Cut)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBring tarnished metal surfaces to a high shine — with SONAX PROFILINE MetalPolish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does SONAX PROFILINE MetalPolish do?

Apply the MetalPolish to a clean, soft cotton cloth or polishing pad and work in circular, overlapping motions in small areas. Do not apply too thinly — the paste should remain visibly on the surface until it hardens and becomes slightly cloudy. Then polish with a clean cloth and check the result. A second pass may be necessary for heavily tarnished areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMetal polish with medium abrasive power — how the medium cut works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe action of a metal polish is based on controlled micro-abrasive processes: fine abrasive grains in the polishing paste remove the uppermost layer of oxidation, tarnish, and micro-scratches, while simultaneously smoothing the underlying metal surface. The finer the grit, the higher the achievable shine, but the longer the working time for heavily damaged surfaces. The medium abrasive power of \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MetalPolish\u003c\/strong\u003e is a conscious compromise: strong enough to remove even significant tarnish and medium oxidation layers in one step, fine enough to produce a high-gloss finish directly, without the need for a separate finishing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe abrasive minerals in the formula are selected to work gently on metal surfaces and not cause excessive material removal. This is particularly important for thinly plated chrome or coated aluminum: overly aggressive abrasives can penetrate protective layers and expose the underlying base material, accelerating corrosion. The medium abrasion of MetalPolish keeps this risk at a controlled level and is matched to the typical thickness of chrome and aluminum coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA conceptual difference to paint polishes such as \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish\u003c\/a\u003e is important: paint polishes are formulated for organic polymer layers (clear coat), while metal polishes are for inorganic metal surfaces. The abrasive grains are chosen differently, and the carrier paste is adapted to the specific adhesion and heat conduction of metal. These products are not interchangeable — a paint polish on metal will not produce optimal results, and a metal polish on clear coat can cause scratches depending on the abrasive hardness. Therefore, use MetalPolish exclusively on bare, non-painted metal surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter polishing — when the applied product has become cloudy and has been polished off with a cloth — MetalPolish leaves no bothersome oil film or residue. The metal remains fresh, shiny, and grippy after polishing. Optional post-sealing with a metal protection product or wax film can extend the re-tarnish period and is particularly recommended for chrome attachments in outdoor areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying metal polish correctly — step-by-step for maximum shine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MetalPolish\u003c\/strong\u003e works both by hand and with a rotating machine. By hand: Apply a hazelnut-sized amount of polish to a clean cotton cloth, a polishing cloth, or a soft polishing block. Spread over the metal surface with circular or linear movements — not too fast, but with even pressure in small sections of approx. 20×20 cm. Allow the polish to dry slightly and appear milky-cloudy (typically 30–60 seconds at room temperature), then polish with a clean, dry cotton cloth. The result is immediately visible: the cloudy residues contain the dissolved oxide and removed dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a machine (rotary or orbital polisher): Choose a suitable pad depending on the machine — a medium-hard polishing pad or a cotton polishing pad is recommended for MetalPolish. Select a low speed (rotary: approx. 1000–1500 rpm, orbital: level 3–4), move evenly over the surface. Machine polishing on metal saves considerable time and produces more even results than hand polishing due to the mechanical pressure, but requires a little more practice to avoid overheating on edges and corners. After machine polishing, polish off as with hand application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA second pass may be necessary on heavily tarnished or deeply oxidized surfaces. Important: After each pass, check with a clean cloth whether the desired result has been achieved before applying further polishing passes — excessive polishing unnecessarily removes material without further improving the result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMetal polish application areas — where MetalPolish works best\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetalPolish shows its strength wherever polished metal surfaces have become dull and unsightly due to environmental influences. In the automotive sector: chrome attachments, aluminum wheel rims, stainless steel sills, exhaust tips and systems (always apply to cold parts!), motorcycle exhaust manifolds, aluminum engine covers, and motorsport applications made of polished aluminum or titanium. The results are particularly noticeable on exhaust systems that develop typical tarnish colors due to heat — blue, golden brown, purple. These can often be completely or largely removed with a metal polish, restoring the exhaust to its original metal finish. For titanium components (racing, high-performance exhaust), the tarnish colors are often considered an aesthetic feature — here, before polishing, it should be considered whether the original finish is actually desired or whether the tarnish colors should deliberately be preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to aluminum wheels, an important distinction must be made: bare, uncoated aluminum wheels (rare, but common in vintage car and motorsport sectors) can be treated directly with metal polish. Standard new and used car wheels, however, are covered with a clear coat or anodized — these should not be treated with metal polish, as the abrasion attacks the clear coat. The correct approach for painted wheels is a paint polish, not a metal polish. If in doubt: Test a tiny area in an inconspicuous spot before treating the entire rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside the automotive sector, MetalPolish is equally powerful: boat fittings and propellers made of brass or stainless steel, stainless steel railings and handrails, polished brass fittings, historical objects made of silver or bronze, kitchen objects made of polished stainless steel. The polish has limitations on painted or anodized metal surfaces — these protective layers should not be mechanically polished. Anodized aluminum wheels or powder-coated components are therefore not suitable application areas for metal polish, regardless of the product used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMetal polish comparison — PROFILINE MetalPolish vs. XTREME MetalPolish and alternatives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX range includes two metal polishes: the PROFILINE version and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-xtreme-metalpolish-metallpolitur\"\u003eSONAX XTREME MetalPolish\u003c\/a\u003e. Both remove tarnish and oxidation on metal surfaces, but differ in package size and positioning. XTREME MetalPolish (150 ml tube) is aimed at hobby detailers and occasional users who prefer a handy package size for smaller jobs and individual applications. PROFILINE MetalPolish (250 ml) is designed for regular users and businesses who polish more frequently and want to keep a slightly larger quantity in stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of content, both products use comparable abrasive minerals for the medium cut — the main difference lies less in the mode of action than in product size and positioning: PROFILINE is the professional line for regular use, XTREME is the consumer pack for home use. Those who work in a business or regularly detail motorcycles, vehicles, or boats will opt for PROFILINE; those who occasionally polish the wheels or exhaust of their vehicle are equally well advised with XTREME MetalPolish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor special applications, it is worth looking at other products in the SONAX PROFILINE range: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-glasspolish-glaspolitur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE GlassPolish\u003c\/a\u003e specializes in glass surfaces — scratches and water spots on windshields or rear windows — and works with cerium oxide abrasive technology on a different material class than MetalPolish. Those who are putting together a comprehensive vehicle detailing kit that covers both paint and metal work will find the right special polish for every material in the SONAX PROFILINE range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying SONAX PROFILINE MetalPolish — Recommendation and Target Group\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE MetalPolish\u003c\/strong\u003e is the choice for anyone who regularly polishes metal surfaces and wants to use a reliable, proven professional product. The 250 ml tube is sufficient for many applications — a single exhaust system, a complete motorcycle, several chrome attachments — and offers maximum flexibility thanks to its medium abrasive power: from occasional exhaust refresh to systematic detailing of an entire vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the polish, a set of high-quality cotton cloths or polishing applicators is recommended for even results when polishing by hand. Important: Do not use microfiber cloths for polishing on brightly polished metal surfaces — microfiber loops can leave fine scratches on high-gloss metal that do not occur with cotton cloths. For machine polishing, cotton polishing pads or medium-soft foam polishing pads are suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want a long-lasting protective layer after polishing that significantly delays re-tarnishing, you should plan a metal sealing step after using MetalPolish: a thin wax film, a metal protection oil, or in some cases a ceramic sealant can extend the durability of the polished condition from a few weeks to several months, especially on exterior attachments exposed to weather. This is particularly worthwhile for elaborately prepared exhaust systems or motorcycle chrome parts where the result should last as long as possible. For hobby detailers who occasionally polish individual metal parts, the PROFILINE MetalPolish in the 250 ml tube is sufficient for many years — the tube is economical and the product has unlimited shelf life with correct storage (cool, dry, sealed).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":53502874386767,"sku":"D1-SNX-02041410","price":17.28,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 250ml set","offer_id":53506187526479,"sku":"D1-SNX-2041410_2","price":34.56,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 250ml set","offer_id":53506187559247,"sku":"D1-SNX-2041410_3","price":51.84,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-metalpolish-metallpolitur.png?v=1730405721"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-actifoam-energy-reinigungsschaum","title":"PROFILINE ActiFoam \"Energy\" Cleaning Foam (Snow Foam)","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eScratch-free pre-wash with SONAX ActiFoam Energy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is SONAX ActiFoam Energy?

Dry paint gives the foam far more grip and noticeably stretches the dwell time. Above 25 °C work panel by panel and don't let the foam dry on, or it leaves residue you'll only have to scrub off later. Warm water (30–40 °C) in the foam lance pushes the cleaning power up a notch — worth it in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFoam lance, pump sprayer or bucket. Three ways, one formula.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSONAX ActiFoam Energy works in three scenarios, each needing a different dilution. The foam lance gives the best result, but pump sprayer and hand wash do the job too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the \u003cstrong\u003efoam lance on the pressure washer\u003c\/strong\u003e you mix 50 to 80 ml of concentrate into one litre of total volume — that's a ratio of 1:10 to 1:20. Less water (1:10) gives denser, drier foam with a longer dwell. More water (1:20) covers bigger areas but runs off vertical panels faster. Start at 1:15 and dial it in from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the \u003cstrong\u003epump sprayer\u003c\/strong\u003e you work with 15 to 25 ml per litre of water — ideal for targeted spots like wheel arches, door shuts or the front end full of bug splatter. As a \u003cstrong\u003ehand-wash shampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e you dissolve 50 to 80 ml in a 10-litre bucket of warm water. That said, ActiFoam Energy lacks the lubricity that shampoos bring for mitt glide. For regular contact washing as your only shampoo, there are better options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn often underrated factor in dosing is water temperature. Warm water (30–40 °C) noticeably boosts the cleaning power of the surfactants — in the foam lance and in the bucket alike. In winter, when you're working with ice-cold tap water, it pays to bump the dose up slightly or warm the water first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou get the best foam quality with an adjustable \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-powerfoamer-schaumzerstauber\"\u003efoam lance\u003c\/a\u003e at 90 to 120 bar.

Tar doesn't react to the surfactant formula — for that you need a dedicated solvent-based tar remover. For fallout on wheels, an acidic iron remover like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger\"\u003eSONAX FelgenBeast\u003c\/a\u003e does the trick. And a snow foam never replaces the contact wash that follows — it makes it safer by pulling most of the loose particles off first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets ActiFoam Energy apart from plain car shampoos in the foam lance is the cleaning power in contactless mode. A shampoo is built as a lubricant for the wash mitt, not as a standalone pre-cleaner. ActiFoam Energy was formulated specifically for use as a snow foam: the phosphate-free recipe loosens even dried-on bug splatter without any mechanical work. The signature energy-drink scent is no accident but a deliberate working companion — a real comfort gain over cleaners with a sharp chemical smell, especially in closed garages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDay-to-day, this workflow has proven itself: lay ActiFoam Energy down over the whole body through the foam lance, bottom to top. Use the dwell time to work the wheels with a dedicated wheel cleaner in parallel. Then rinse everything off with the pressure washer — top to bottom, so the loosened dirt drains away. Only then do you bring in the wash mitt with fresh shampoo water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor prepping used cars or customer vehicles in a detailing business, ActiFoam Energy is a solid first step too: it takes off the coarse dirt, shows you which areas are really problematic, and gives you a clean baseline to judge the paint condition.

ActiFoam Energy is no all-rounder — it's a specialist for the contactless pre-wash, and that's exactly where its strength lies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe concentrate comes in two sizes: a 1-litre bottle to get started and a 5-litre canister for high-volume washers and detailing businesses. The canister gives the better price per litre and covers 60 to 100 pre-washes at a weekly wash rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've been working with a plain all-purpose cleaner in the foam lance before, you'll notice the difference in foam density and cling right away.

Light hitting a flat surface is reflected evenly — this is the physical explanation for the so-called deep gloss and mirror reflection visible after a successful finishing polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe abrasive grade of NP 03-06 is chosen to be optimal for the final polishing stage: fine enough not to create new holograms, but still strong enough to completely eliminate polishing marks from the previous medium corrective polish. This balancing act is typical for finishing polishes — too fine an abrasion does not completely remove polishing marks, while too coarse an abrasion creates holograms that then need to be fixed with another finishing pass. The NP 03-06 is characterized in the product name with \"03-06\", which describes its abrasive position in the SONAX polishing product hierarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother advantage of finishing polish technology is the \"darkening\" effect — on dark paints (black, dark blue, dark gray), a significantly more intense color depth becomes visible after finishing, as the paint surface is so flat and clear that more light penetrates the paint and is reflected there. This effect is less dramatic on light paints but still noticeable: the paint appears fresher, more vibrant, and more even than before. Especially on vehicles with black or dark paint, the finishing polish is the most visible step in the entire detailing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying NP 03-06 Correctly — Pad, Machine, and Technique for Optimal Results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplying the finishing polish requires a completely executed pre-treatment: dirt, rust film, and tar must be removed (decon step), the paint must be prepared by a corrective polish, and the surface must be clean and dry. A finishing polish on an unprepared, heavily scratched surface cannot completely eliminate fine scratches — this step is only worthwhile if the preceding stages have been carried out correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePad selection: For machine application, finishing foam pads (soft, non-abrasive) are suitable as they evenly transfer the fine abrasive particles of the polish to the surface without contributing to abrasion themselves. Hard foam pads or microfiber pads with their own abrasive effect are not ideal for a pure finishing polish — the NP 03-06 is designed for soft finishing pads. For hand application, use a soft, clean applicator cloth — on small areas (headlights, small dent areas), the polish also works well by hand; for large areas, machine application is essential for even results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnique: Apply polish, distribute at the lowest speed, and then run several overlapping passes over the area at medium speed. The final pass is done with slightly reduced speed and light pressure — this final pass levels out the faint cross-marks created by the polishing work. Check the drying time: if the polish dries too quickly (in the sun, on hot paint), it will not work optimally — ideally, polish in the garage or shade. After buffing with a microfiber cloth, immediately check for holograms — any remaining polishing marks are best seen in artificial side light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of Application for NP 03-06 — When Finishing Polish Is the Right Step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NP 03-06 is the final polishing step before any sealant or ceramic coating. It is used when fine polishing marks or holograms are still present after corrective polishing and need to be removed before sealing. Typically, the NP 03-06 is step 3 or 4 in a multi-stage polishing process: after a cutting polish (hard pad + coarse polish) and a corrective polish (medium-hard pad + medium polish), the finishing polish follows as the last abrasive step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicles that do not require extensive paint correction (new paint or paint with very fine swirl marks only visible in oblique light), the NP 03-06 can also be used as the sole polishing stage — a so-called \"one-step finish.\" In this case, a lightly abrasive pad (combination pad) is combined with the finishing polish to both reduce light swirl marks and achieve maximum gloss in one step. This approach saves time but is not sufficient for deeper scratches and stronger holograms — a multi-stage process with appropriate corrective polish is unavoidable here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn sensitive vehicles with a thin clear coat layer (often found on older vehicles after multiple previous owner polishes or on certain manufacturers like Porsche and some BMW models), the finishing polish is particularly valuable because it uses minimal paint removal — the mild abrasion specifically removes polishing marks without unnecessarily thinning the clear coat. Paint thickness measurements before preparation help to estimate how many polishing passes are still sensible without polishing the paint too thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNP 03-06 vs. PerfectFinish — Which Finishing Polish for Which Task?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the SONAX PROFILINE range, there are two finishing polishes for different requirements. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish \"4\/6\"\u003c\/a\u003e is positioned as a more aggressive finishing polish with a slightly higher abrasive grade — it is particularly designed for use after P2000 sandpaper (hence the \"up to P2000\" suffix) and is suitable for situations where a bit more abrasion is needed after sanding to completely remove sanding marks. The NP 03-06, on the other hand, is the finer finishing polish for the final step after the corrective polishing stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePractically speaking: anyone polishing after wet sanding (e.g., after removing a deep dent or a repaint) would choose PerfectFinish as the first polishing step and optionally NP 03-06 for final hologram removal. Anyone who has worked with a corrective polish after normal detailing without sanding only needs the NP 03-06 for the finishing step. For detailers who want to cover both scenarios in practice, combining both polishes makes sense — PerfectFinish for abrasive-intensive detailing, NP 03-06 for pure high-gloss finishing steps after polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding pad compatibility and machine suitability, both finishing polishes are similar — the decision mainly lies in the desired abrasive grade and the preceding preparation stage. For maximum flexibility in professional operations, we recommend having both polishes available, as the exact condition of a customer's vehicle can often only be fully assessed on the lift and under inspection lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying SONAX PROFILINE NP 03-06 — Container Sizes and Cost-Effectiveness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE NP 03-06\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in three container sizes: 250 ml for beginners and occasional users, 1 liter for regular detailers and professional detailing businesses, and 5 liters for businesses with high throughput or for workshops and training.

For very deep sanding marks (P1000 or coarser), we recommend an intermediate step with a medium-abrasive correction stage before using PerfectFinish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbrasive technology of PerfectFinish — what \"up to P2000\" means in paint sanding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe designation \"up to P2000\" in the product description of \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e is an important technical specification: It indicates up to which sandpaper grit the polish can completely remove the sanding marks created by it. P2000 sandpaper has a very fine grit (2000 corresponds to an average particle size of approx. 10 micrometers) and creates correspondingly fine sanding marks. P1500 creates slightly deeper grooves (average particle size approx. 13 micrometers), P1000 even deeper (approx. 18 micrometers).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of these grit sizes creates sanding marks with characteristic depth and width — the polish must be able to level these grooves with its abrasive particles. PerfectFinish contains abrasive particles whose size and hardness are calibrated to effectively level P2000 grooves. For deeper grooves (P1000 and coarser), PerfectFinish would require several passes or would be completely insufficient — here, a more abrasive correction stage is recommended first, which reduces the grooves to the P2000 level, before PerfectFinish is used. This step-by-step principle applies to all polishing and sanding processes: each step processes the grooves of the previous step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"4\/6\" classification in the SONAX product scale positions PerfectFinish as a medium-fine finish polish: more abrasive than a pure high-gloss finish polish, but finer than typical correction stage polishes. This position makes PerfectFinish particularly versatile: it can be used both as the only polishing step after fine wet sanding and as the penultimate step before another high-gloss finish polish like \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-np-03-06-hochglanz-politur-finish\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE NP 03-06\u003c\/a\u003e. Which variant is better depends on the desired result, the vehicle condition, and the available time budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe physical principle behind the transition from sanding to polishing is blending: Each sanding or polishing stage creates a new, finer pattern of grooves that overlays the pattern of the previous stage. If the new pattern is finer than the original refractive index threshold of light, the surface appears optically smooth. PerfectFinish reworks the P2000 grooves with abrasive particles so fine that the surface microstructures remaining after polishing are below the human eye's perception threshold — and the surface appears accordingly glossy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying PerfectFinish correctly — pad selection and technique guidelines for optimal results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of finish polish begins with correct pad selection, which is crucial for the result. For use after wet sanding (P1500–P2000), combination pads with slight intrinsic abrasiveness are recommended, which support the corrective performance of PerfectFinish and enable efficient sanding mark removal in just a few passes. For use as a second finish step after a correction stage, softer finish pads are suitable, which level out any remaining light polishing marks. Pad hardness directly affects effective abrasiveness: a hard pad with a moderately abrasive polish like PerfectFinish can achieve similar overall performance as a soft pad with a more aggressive polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine selection: The rotary polisher offers more cutting power than the orbital machine for processing sanding marks and is the faster option for heavily pronounced P1500 sanding marks. The orbital machine reduces heat generation and is better suited for delicate paints or as a final step for hologram minimization. Many professionals use a combination for PerfectFinish: initial passes with the rotary machine at medium speed for sanding mark removal, then a final pass with the orbital machine at low speed for a hologram-free high gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResult control: Evaluate polishing work under correction light (LED floodlight or daylight at an oblique angle). Remaining sanding marks are visible under this light as parallel line patterns, holograms as random swirl patterns. If P2000 sanding marks are still visible after several passes with PerfectFinish, it indicates either insufficient polishing pressure, too low speed, or an unsuitable pad — a common mistake is switching too early to a pad that is too soft, which does not sufficiently level the sanding marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of application for PerfectFinish — paint correction, spot repair, and repainting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e is indispensable in several professional application scenarios. Paint residues and runs after repainting: Fresh paint layers sometimes develop runs, sags, and orange peel effects that are mechanically removed by sanding and polishing. Wet sanding with P2000 levels the surface, and PerfectFinish brings the high gloss to the finished level — a standard workflow in paint shops and body shops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep individual scratches and stone chip aftertreatment: After spot repair (sanding and partial painting), the repaired area must be polished out and brought to the gloss level of the surrounding area. PerfectFinish is the right tool for this transition area: It removes the sanding marks from the spot repair and creates a gloss that seamlessly blends into the surrounding paint. On small repair areas, PerfectFinish can also be applied by hand with an applicator if the repair area is too small for machine processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneral paint correction for heavily damaged vehicles: For vehicles with deep swirl marks, heavy holograms, or mechanical damage, a multi-stage process is necessary — a coarse correction stage for the main work, then PerfectFinish for the transition to high gloss. In this context, PerfectFinish replaces the separate sanding and finishing combination when the previous stage has already been brought to P1500–P2000 level. For this broad application area, availability in 5 liters is particularly attractive for businesses with high polishing volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfectFinish vs. NP 03-06 — which finish polish for which application\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common question when buying a finish polish from the SONAX PROFILINE range: When PerfectFinish, when \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-np-03-06-hochglanz-politur-finish\"\u003eNP 03-06\u003c\/a\u003e? The answer lies in the pre-treatment: PerfectFinish \"4\/6\" is designed for situations where the surface was sanded before polishing (P1500–P2000 wet sanding) and stronger sanding marks are present. NP 03-06, on the other hand, is the finer finish polish for the last step after a correction polish — when there are no sanding marks, but only fine polishing marks and holograms from the previous polishing stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePractically speaking: If a vehicle comes in for polishing after a repaint or wet sanding, PerfectFinish is the first polishing step. If a vehicle comes in for finishing after a normal abrasive correction stage (polishing without prior sanding), NP 03-06 is the right step. For detailers who want to cover both scenarios, we recommend having both polishes available — the vehicle and its pre-treatment determine which polish is used. In a two-stage combination (PerfectFinish after sanding, then NP 03-06 as the final finish), outstanding results can be achieved on paints that require maximum high gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor beginners who only want to buy one finish polish: NP 03-06 is the safer all-round choice for vehicles without prior sanding. PerfectFinish is indispensable for vehicles with prior wet sanding — it can also be used on vehicles without sanding marks, but requires more passes than NP 03-06 to achieve a hologram-free result. The added value of PerfectFinish therefore lies in its ability to handle sanding marks, not just pure gloss generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying SONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish — container sizes and economical use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in 250 ml, 1 liter, and 5 liter sizes, as well as 2-piece and 3-piece sets. The 250 ml container is suitable for beginners and occasional users, as well as for evaluating the polish before a larger order. The 1-liter container is the most economical standard size for regular detailers and smaller detailing businesses — one liter is sufficient for approximately 30–50 complete vehicle polishes. The 5-liter container is aimed at body shops, paint shops, and detailing businesses with high polishing volumes who use the polish daily and require the lowest price per liter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor businesses that have wet sanding as a regular part of their service offering (e.g., paint correction, polishing out new paint, spot repair), PerfectFinish is an indispensable component of their polishing kit. In combination with NP 03-06 for the final high-gloss finish, Prepare for the panel wipe step, and a sealant, PerfectFinish covers the complete post-sanding workflow.

At the start of the pass the particles are big enough to take down the coarse sanding marks from P1500 paper — a job normally reserved for a dedicated cutting compound. As the pass goes on, the particles break into finer and finer fragments, until they're small enough to polish the surface to a high gloss without leaving fresh micro-scratches behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat progressive break-down is the reason the polish needs a full pass to show what it can do. Stop too early — say after thirty seconds instead of two minutes per section — and you stay stuck in the cutting stage: you get the coarse marks out, but no gloss. The pass is only done once the polish goes clear on the paint and the typical shine shows up. Reading that point takes a little experience, but after the first two or three panels you'll have the feel for it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne common misconception: some users think a 5\/5 polish is more aggressive than a pure cutting compound like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur\"\u003eSONAX CutMax (6\/4)\u003c\/a\u003e. It's the other way around — CutMax has more cut at 6\/4 and can take down coarser defects, such as sanding marks from P1000 paper. Cut+Finish starts at P1500 and reaches the same gloss result you'd otherwise only get with an extra finishing step. If you need to sand coarser, you need CutMax as the first step — Cut+Finish is then the fast one-step solution for lighter to medium sanding work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing a one-step polish properly — machine type, pad choice and technique\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut+Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e is built primarily for rotary polishers. Here's why: a rotary, with its pure rotating action, builds more heat and friction than a dual-action machine — exactly the energy the progressive abrasive break-down needs to run the full spectrum from cut to high gloss. It works on a dual-action machine too, just with reduced cut: the eccentric action builds less heat, so the particles break down slower and the pass takes longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003epad choice\u003c\/strong\u003e drives the result more than anything. On a hard pad (white or orange) Cut+Finish gives you its full cut — ideal for working a panel after wet-sanding. On a medium-hard pad the cut is more moderate, enough for refreshing weathered paint without sanding first. On a soft finishing pad the polish loses too much cut and no longer reaches the performance it was built for — for pure finish polishing there are better-suited products like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PerfectFinish (4\/6)\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the application: drop three or four pea-sized dots of polish onto the pad, spread them at low speed over the panel and then bring it up to working speed. Work in rows with about fifty percent overlap across the whole section until the polish goes clear. A typical section — say half a bonnet — takes two to three minutes on a rotary. Wipe the polish residue off with a clean microfibre cloth and check the result under an LED lamp: if there are still sanding marks visible, repeat the pass with a bit more pressure or a higher speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you polish large areas — bonnet, roof, side panels — getting the pressure right is the key. Hold the machine so the pad sits evenly on the surface and let the weight of the machine do the work. Extra pressure from above does raise the cut, but it also builds more heat and can cause holograms on sensitive paint — exactly what Cut+Finish is meant to avoid. If you still see defects after one pass, a second pass at the same pressure beats a single pass with too much pressure.\n\nAfter polishing, it's worth degreasing with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e to strip the last of the polish residue. Under the Prepare control spray the real result shows up — without polishing oils and fillers that can visually mask defects. That step matters especially if a ceramic coating or paint protection film is going on afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRemoving sanding marks after wet-sanding — the ideal jobs for Cut+Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main job for \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX Cut+Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e is the follow-up after wet-sanding with P1200 to P1500 paper. Day-to-day you'll run into that in a few scenarios:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a \u003cstrong\u003espot-repair follow-up\u003c\/strong\u003e in the bodyshop, blend-ins and touch-up areas get wet-sanded first to level the paint and knock down orange peel. Cut+Finish takes the sanding marks out in one pass and brings the repaired area up to the gloss level of the surrounding original paint — without a second polishing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a \u003cstrong\u003enew-car prep\u003c\/strong\u003e, plenty of vehicles come from the factory with light orange peel and transport scratches. A careful wet-sand with P1500 levels the surface, and Cut+Finish brings the gloss back. Here the silicone-free formula plays an important role: should the new car need a respray inside the warranty period, the silicone-free polish causes no problems with the repaint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a \u003cstrong\u003eclassic-car restoration\u003c\/strong\u003e or the recovery of badly weathered paint, Cut+Finish is enough on its own in many cases, as long as the weathering doesn't run too deep. On original stove-baked paint, which is often softer than modern water-based finishes, Cut+Finish offers enough cut to take down the oxidised layer and enough finish to bring the gloss underneath back out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother scenario that comes up a lot day-to-day: \u003cstrong\u003escratch removal without sanding first.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not every scratch needs the sandpaper. Surface scratches that sit only in the clearcoat and disappear when the surface is wet can be polished out directly with Cut+Finish. The 5\/5 cut is enough to take down the damaged clearcoat layer far enough for the scratch to disappear — and the 5\/5 gloss makes sure the spot doesn't end up looking duller than the surrounding paint afterwards. For this job a medium-hard pad beats the hard pad, so you keep the cut more controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Cut+Finish hits its limits: on sanding marks from P1000 and coarser it doesn't have the cut to take them out fully in one pass. Here CutMax (6\/4) is the better choice as a first step, followed by a finish with PerfectFinish or the NP 03-06. Cut+Finish is no replacement for a dedicated cutting compound on heavy defect removal — it's the one-step solution for the P1200 to P1500 range, where it plays its strength in full. On extremely hard ceramic clearcoats too, like the ones some German premium makers use, Cut+Finish can need more passes than on softer Japanese or Korean paint systems — the abrasives break down slower on the hard substrate, and the polishing process takes correspondingly longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne-step polish comparison — Cut+Finish vs. CutMax vs. PerfectFinish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the SONAX PROFILINE range, Cut+Finish, CutMax and PerfectFinish form a logical gradient that covers different needs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutMax (6\/4)\u003c\/strong\u003e is the pure cutting compound — maximum cut (6\/5), moderate gloss (4\/5). It comes out when coarse defects like P1000 sanding marks, deep scratches or heavy weathering have to be taken down. After CutMax a finishing step is nearly always needed, because the gloss result alone isn't enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfectFinish (4\/6)\u003c\/strong\u003e is the counterpart: moderate cut (4\/5), maximum gloss (6\/5). It's built for the finishing step after a cutting compound and creates the last bit of high gloss needed for concours results and showroom quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSONAX Cut+Finish (5\/5)\u003c\/strong\u003e sits right in the middle and is the all-rounder: it manages the cut of a medium cutting compound and the gloss of a good finishing polish in a single pass. The upside is obvious — time saved, fewer pad changes, less polish residue. The downside: if you have to push to the extremes — heaviest defect removal or that absolute last bit of high gloss — you're better served by the two-step approach of CutMax and PerfectFinish. For an estimated seventy percent of the day-to-day polishing work in workshop and detailing, Cut+Finish is plenty as the only polish you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst polishes from other makers, Cut+Finish positions itself as the workshop-focused solution: the silicone-free formula, the low-dust working and the long open time are properties that make the difference in daily workshop use. Hobby detailers who polish once a year notice these upsides less — for them what counts above all is the end result. In a workshop polishing ten to fifteen vehicles a week, though, these upsides add up to a tangible efficiency gain: less cleanup thanks to no dust, no contamination risk thanks to being silicone-free, less wasted product thanks to the controlled consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying a one-step polish — bottle sizes and recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut+Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in 250 ml and 1000 ml. For getting started or the occasional job on your own car, the 250 ml bottle is enough — that polishes a whole vehicle and leaves you a reserve for touch-ups. For workshops and professional detailers polishing every day, the 1000 ml bottle is the more economical pick: the price per litre drops noticeably and you reorder less often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the optimal workflow we recommend the combination: Cut+Finish as the main polish, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e for result checking and degreasing, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-polymernetshield-lackversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX PolymerNetShield\u003c\/a\u003e as the final sealant. This trio covers the whole process from defect correction to long-term protection — in three steps instead of the five or six a multi-stage process with separate cutting and finishing polishes would need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith several vehicles a day a further upside of Cut+Finish shows up: you only need one product and one set of pads, instead of switching between cutting and finishing polish. That cuts not just the setup time but also the risk of mix-ups — in a workshop where several people polish, a simple one-product system is less error-prone than a three-stage process with different polishes and pad combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA practical note on storage: Cut+Finish can separate slightly when it stands for a while — the abrasives settle at the bottom. Shake the bottle well before every use until the consistency is evenly creamy. Store the product frost-free and sealed, and it keeps its full performance over the whole shelf life. Frozen polish loses its homogeneous consistency and won't work evenly anymore even after it thaws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":53519485403471,"sku":"D1-SNX-2251410","price":18.77,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":53519485436239,"sku":"D1-SNX-2253000","price":55.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 250ml set","offer_id":53519485501775,"sku":"D1-SNX-2251410_2","price":37.54,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 250ml set","offer_id":53519485534543,"sku":"D1-SNX-2251410_3","price":56.31,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53519485567311,"sku":"D1-SNX-2253000_2","price":110.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53519485600079,"sku":"D1-SNX-2253000_3","price":166.35,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-cut-finish-einstufen-politur.png?v=1730642087"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-ultimatecut-schleif-politur","title":"PROFILINE UltimateCut \"6+\/3\" Sanding and Polishing Compound (up to P1000)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProfessionally remove deep scratches and P1000 sanding marks — SONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does SONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut do?

This staged process ensures that any remaining polishing marks from the aggressive first step are completely removed by subsequent stages before the surface is sealed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Only use UltimateCut where the depth of damage truly requires it — too much abrasive power on thin paint layers can remove unnecessary material and endanger the paint. Before using UltimateCut, perform paint thickness measurements to ensure sufficient material for multi-stage processing. Start with a hard, abrasive pad (lambswool pad or hard foam pad) on a rotary polisher at medium speed (3–4). After the UltimateCut step, check the surface for any remaining polishing marks and proceed with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish\u003c\/a\u003e as the next stage.

Change pads between stages — abrasive particles from different stages should not be mixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbrasive technology of UltimateCut — what \"6+\/3\" and \"up to P1000\" mean in the polishing process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe designations \"6+\/3\" and \"up to P1000\" in the product specification for \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut\u003c\/strong\u003e provide important clues about its position and application profile. \"6+\/3\" describes the abrasive rating in the SONAX polishing product hierarchy: Higher numbers indicate more aggressive abrasion. UltimateCut, with \"6+\/3,\" is at the upper end of this scale — the first three digits describe the cutting performance in use; the format is a specific Sonax-internal classification method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"up to P1000\" specification is the most practically relevant: It indicates that UltimateCut is capable of completely leveling sanding marks from P1000 sandpaper. P1000 is a medium-coarse grit (particle size approx. 18 micrometers), typically used as the first sanding grit in wet sanding to remove paint runs, orange peel after repainting, or deep scratches. Sanding marks of this depth are too deep for fine corrective polishes (NP 03-06, PerfectFinish) — they require the abrasive power of UltimateCut to be brought to a level that subsequent stages can further process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe abrasive particles in UltimateCut have a controlled particle size, which enables strong corrective performance without creating uncontrollably deep scratches. Modern compound polishes often use abrasive particles that break down into smaller particles through polishing — this \"diminishing abrasive\" effect means that the polish is very aggressive at the beginning (coarse particles) but becomes milder towards the end of the polishing pass (broken down, smaller particles). This reduces the depth of residual polishing marks and facilitates further processing in the next stage. The UltimateCut formula uses this principle to leave a surface after the correction step that can be further treated with a medium-abrasive polish or directly with PerfectFinish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lubricating properties of the UltimateCut formula play a crucial secondary role: A cut compound must not only be abrasive but also provide sufficient lubrication for the pad so that the mechanical energy of the machine is controlled and converted into abrasion, not heat generation. Formulas that are too dry cut well initially but overheat quickly and can create dry-run marks on the paint if there is insufficient lubrication. UltimateCut is formulated with a balance of abrasive power and lubrication that is suitable for high-performance use over longer polishing passes. On large vehicles (SUVs, vans, heavy sedans), this balance is particularly important, as the entire polishing job takes significantly longer than on a compact vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn important aspect when using high-cut compounds like UltimateCut is heat input: High abrasive power during machine use generates significant heat at the contact point between the pad and the paint. Overheated paint can burn (orange-brown discoloration), soften, or develop cracks due to thermal stress. Therefore: use a rotary polisher at moderate speed, sufficient product on the pad (lubricating effect reduces heat), and regularly check the paint temperature between passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying UltimateCut correctly — machine, pad, and multi-stage process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of the cut compound begins with machine selection: For maximum cutting performance when treating deep scratches and P1000 sanding marks, the rotary polisher (Single Action, SA) is the first choice — it delivers more torque and removal power than a dual-action polisher. For users who only have a dual-action polisher, we recommend a hard foam pad or a hybrid wool pad and several intensive passes — the result is acceptable, but slower than with a rotary machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePad selection: For UltimateCut, hard or medium-hard abrasive pads (lambswool pads, hybrid wool pads, or hard foam pads) are suitable. Soft finishing pads significantly reduce abrasive performance and should not be used for UltimateCut. Before use, clean the pad with a pad washer or cloth to remove old polish residues — particles from a previous polishing stage still in the pad can cause scratches during UltimateCut application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplication sequence: Apply a small amount of UltimateCut to the pad, spread it at low speed, then work with medium to high speed in intensive overlapping passes over the surface. The polish dries relatively quickly — at room temperature and normal humidity, work in sections. After the UltimateCut step: completely remove polish residues with a microfiber cloth, check the surface under a correction light for any remaining sanding marks. If P1000 marks are still visible, repeat the UltimateCut step. If not, proceed to the next polishing stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of application for UltimateCut — when maximum corrective power is needed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eUltimateCut\u003c\/strong\u003e is used in situations where milder polishes are insufficient. Wet sanding after repainting: After painting work in a workshop or body shop, fresh paint often exhibits orange peel, paint runs, or inclusions. These are mechanically leveled by wet sanding with P800–P1000. The deep sanding marks created are a classic task for UltimateCut as the first polishing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeavily damaged old paintwork: Vehicles that have never been polished for years and show severe extensive swirl marks, deep individual scratches from car washes, or oxidation marks require maximum corrective performance to be brought to a presentable gloss level. UltimateCut is the powerful first step that brings the level of damage to a point where corrective polishes can further refine it. Often, for heavily damaged paintwork, the combination of UltimateCut + FS 05-04 + PerfectFinish + NP 03-06 is necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpot repair and color transition areas: For spot painting, the repaired area must be polished out and brought to the gloss level of the surrounding area. Depending on the grit of sandpaper used, UltimateCut may be necessary as the first polishing step. In transition and blending areas, a gentler approach is needed to avoid removing too much material from the surrounding paint area, which is already in good condition — here, UltimateCut should be used precisely on the repair spot, not on the transition area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVehicles with very thick clear coat layers (factory paints from the early 2000s or certain classic car repaints) can tolerate intensive multiple treatments with UltimateCut without entering risky paint thickness areas. Modern vehicles with thinner clear coat layers (especially from Asian and some German manufacturers with special paints) require more careful dosing of abrasive energy — one or two machine passes, then paint thickness measurement, before proceeding further. This controlled approach is not a sign of over-caution, but rather a professional standard for sustainable paint correction that does not compromise the vehicle for future detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUltimateCut in the polishing pyramid — position and combination strategies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX PROFILINE polishing line offers a complete abrasive hierarchy for every degree of damage.

This polishing pyramid allows for the step-by-step treatment of any degree of damage to a flawless high-gloss finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailers and detailing businesses that use the complete PROFILINE polishing system, a clear decision logic emerges: Scratch depth determines the entry point into the pyramid. Damage deeper than P1000 → UltimateCut as a start. Damage between P1500 and P2000 → PerfectFinish as a start. Only fine swirl marks → NP 03-06 or OS 02-06 as a single stage. This systematic approach based on the degree of damage is a professional standard that saves time and prevents over-processing of the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to third-party cut compounds, UltimateCut as a PROFILINE product offers the advantage of system compatibility: It is coordinated with the subsequent PROFILINE polishing stages and leaves a surface after the correction step that can be optimally processed with these products. The use of cut compounds from different manufacturers in combination with PROFILINE finish polishes is possible, but the coordination of particle sizes is then not guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying SONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut — containers and recommended use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in 250 ml, 1 liter, and 5 liter sizes, as well as 2-pack and 3-pack sets. The 250 ml container is suitable for beginners and occasional users, the 1-liter container for regular professional use, and the 5-liter container for body shops and high-throughput polishing operations. Approximately 20–50 ml are needed per complete vehicle paint correction with UltimateCut, depending on the paint condition and vehicle size — the 1-liter container is therefore sufficient for 20–50 complete detailing jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimateCut should be in the toolkit of every body shop and detailer who offers paint correction after wet sanding or heavy swirl removal as a service. It is not an everyday product for regular maintenance detailing, but rather a specialized tool for cases where truly maximum corrective performance is needed. The investment in UltimateCut pays off through significantly reduced processing times for difficult paintwork — which directly translates into the economic efficiency of paint correction services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, SONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut is the strongest corrective tool in the PROFILINE polishing range for all situations where milder polishes are insufficient.

The catch: not every polish is built for the dual-action motion. Plenty of polishes that work brilliantly on the rotary only deliver a fraction of their power on a DA, because the lower heat slows the abrasive breakdown. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 04-06\u003c\/strong\u003e was developed specifically for this machine type: its abrasive blend breaks down reliably even at the lower friction energy of a dual-action machine, and with a cut of 4\/5 and a gloss of 6\/5 it gets you a result on the DA that's almost identical to a two-step process of cutting and finishing polish on the rotary. If you work with a dual-action machine and want to correct light to medium paint defects, the EX 04-06 is the obvious pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for the dual-action motion.\u003c\/strong\u003e The formulation of the EX 04-06 is tuned to the specific kinematics of dual-action machines. The abrasive particles break down at lower temperature and lower pressure than with classic rotary polishes — meaning you get the full power on the DA without having to lean in. That behaviour makes the EX 04-06 especially beginner-friendly: even without years of polishing experience, moderate pressure and a mid-range speed get you a professional result.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHologram-free high gloss.\u003c\/strong\u003e The gloss level of 6\/5 — the top mark in the SONAX system — means the polish leaves a finish that's free of holograms, swirls and buffer marks.

In bodyshops that polish and paint side by side, that's a must — silicone residue on neighbouring vehicles or shop surfaces can cause craters during a respray. Being silicone-free also makes the EX 04-06 a first choice for prep ahead of a ceramic coating, where an absolutely silicone-free surface gives the best bonding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Run the EX 04-06 with a medium foam pad (orange in the SONAX colour system) at speed 4 to 5 on the dual-action machine. Drop three pea-sized dabs onto the pad, spread them at low speed and then work with moderate pressure in slow, overlapping passes. The key to a perfect result: slow machine movement. Move the machine about two to three centimetres per second across the surface — noticeably slower than most beginners do it by instinct. That's the only way the abrasives get enough contact time to fully cut out the defects and bring up the high gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFinishing polish for dual-action machines — why the EX range is formulated differently from rotary polishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 04-06\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs to the EX range, which SONAX developed specifically for dual-action machines. The technical background: a dual-action machine moves the pad on a circular orbit with a simultaneous rotation — this double motion generates less friction energy per unit of area than the pure rotation of a rotary machine. Polishes built for the rotary need that higher energy to break their abrasives down fully. On a dual-action machine they only break down partway — the result is coarse leftover particles that leave micro-marring and holograms instead of bringing up gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EX range solves this with an adapted particle size and binder matrix. The abrasives are smaller and break down at lower energy input — perfect for the dual-action motion. The flip side: on a rotary the abrasive breaks down too fast, and the polish loses its cut before the defects are fully removed. So the EX 04-06 is no replacement for rotary polishes like the CutMax or Cut+Finish — it's their counterpart for a different class of machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDay-to-day, the difference shows up most on hard European clear coats, which are tougher to work with the dual-action machine than soft Japanese paints. On these clears the EX 04-06 gives enough working time and cut to keep performing consistently even after several polishing passes — something cheaper DA polishes often can't manage, because their formulation is spent after the first pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne practical angle: plenty of detailers own both a dual-action and a rotary machine and switch depending on the panel. On big, flat areas like the bonnet and roof the rotary is more efficient, while on edges, body lines and curved sections the dual-action machine gives you more safety margin. In that mixed workflow the EX 04-06 is the finishing product for all the dual-action sections — while a polish like the Cut+Finish or PerfectFinish handles the rotary sections. If you want to stick with a single machine and prefer the dual-action, the EX range gives you a complete system that asks for no compromise on performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use a dual-action polish properly — speed, pressure and machine movement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the \u003cstrong\u003eEX 04-06\u003c\/strong\u003e on the dual-action machine follows a clear scheme: a medium to soft polishing pad, a mid-range speed (step 4 to 5 on most machines), moderate pressure and slow machine movement. That combination is the key to a hologram-free result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrop three pea-sized dabs of polish onto the pad and spread them at the lowest speed across the panel. Then step up to working speed and polish in slow, overlapping passes across the whole section. Slow here means: two to three centimetres per second. Most beginners move the machine too fast — the pad glides over the surface without enough time to cut the defects out. A slower movement increases the contact time per unit of area and uses the abrasive fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003epressure\u003c\/strong\u003e should be moderate — just enough that the pad sits evenly on the surface. Unlike the rotary, where more pressure means more cut, the dual-action machine reacts to excess pressure in reverse: the dual-action motion gets choked, the pad spins slower, and the cut drops instead of climbing. If you notice the machine bogging down under pressure, you're leaning in too hard — back off and let the machine do the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake: too much polish on the pad. Three pea-sized dabs are enough for a section of about fifty by fifty centimetres — more product dilutes the cut and stretches the working time without improving the result. If the polish is still sitting milky-thick on the surface after the pass, you've either laid on too much or moved the machine too fast. Cut the amount on the next section and move the machine slower — the result picks up straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn temperature: the dual-action machine generates less heat than a rotary, but on dark paint in summer sun the surface temperature can still get problematic. Work in a shaded spot or garage and check the temperature now and then with the back of your hand. Ideal ambient temperatures are between fifteen and twenty-five degrees Celsius at moderate humidity, to keep working conditions optimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the polishing pass, wipe the residue off with a clean, soft microfibre cloth and check the result under an LED inspection lamp. On dark paint it's worth an extra check under direct sunlight — some holograms and swirls only show up under natural light, because the LED lamp hits at a different angle. Once you're happy with the result, comes the degreasing with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e — only then do you see the actual result without polishing oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrecting light to medium paint defects — the ideal use cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 04-06\u003c\/strong\u003e isn't built for heavy defect correction — for that there's the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-ex-05-05-schleif-politur-heavy-cut\"\u003eEX 05-05 with cut 5\/5\u003c\/a\u003e. The strength of the EX 04-06 sits in a different area: correcting light to medium defects in a single pass while producing the best possible finish at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common use case is the \u003cstrong\u003esingle-stage polish on near-new paint\u003c\/strong\u003e. Vehicles one to three years old typically show wash marring, light swirls and a general dullness in the clear coat. The EX 04-06 removes these surface defects in one pass and leaves a high gloss that sits above factory-new level. For detailers who regularly work on lease returns or young used cars, that's the typical job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother scenario: \u003cstrong\u003efinishing after a cutting stage\u003c\/strong\u003e. When the paint has first been worked with a cutting polish (the EX 05-05, say, or the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur\"\u003eCutMax\u003c\/a\u003e), the EX 04-06 removes the leftover micro-marring and holograms in the second step and brings the paint to a high gloss. This two-step process — cutting polish plus finishing polish — is the gold standard in professional paint correction and gets you the best results on demanding dark paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EX 04-06 is also ideal for \u003cstrong\u003eprep ahead of a coating\u003c\/strong\u003e. Before a ceramic coating or paint protection film goes on, the paint has to be in the best possible condition — any defect locked in under the coating stays visible for its entire service life. The EX 04-06 gives you exactly the surface a coating needs: defect-free, hologram-free and free of silicone residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne scenario that often gets underrated: \u003cstrong\u003eworking on vehicles with part-wrapped sections\u003c\/strong\u003e. When a vehicle has both painted and wrapped panels, the polish must not get onto the film — polishing residue can settle into the film texture and is hard to get out of there. The controlled way the dual-action machine works, combined with the EX 04-06, minimises the risk of splatter and lets you work precisely right up to the film edge. For these situations the dual-action machine clearly beats the rotary, because it slings off less product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDual-action polish comparison — EX 04-06 vs. EX 05-05 vs. NP 03-06\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX PROFILINE range offers three finishing polishes to choose from, differing in cut and gloss:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e is the more aggressive sibling: cut 5\/5, gloss 5\/5. It comes in when the defects are too deep for the EX 04-06 — things like P1500 sanding marks, heavier weathering or scratches that go beyond the typical wash marring. The gloss level of 5\/5 is good, but not at the level of the EX 04-06 — for the highest finishing standards, a pass with the EX 04-06 follows the EX 05-05.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-np-03-06-hochglanz-politur-finish\"\u003eNP 03-06\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is the gentlest option: cut 3\/5, gloss 6\/5. It's meant for paint that barely shows any defects and just needs that final polishing touch — after a thorough cutting stage, say, or on new cars that only need a light refresh. The lower cut also makes it the safest pick on extremely thin clear coats or historic paint, where every bit of material removal should be kept to a minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEX 04-06\u003c\/strong\u003e is the all-rounder between these extremes: enough cut for typical everyday defects, maximum gloss for a professional finish. For most single-stage polishes on the dual-action machine it's the best choice — versatile enough for day-to-day work, strong enough on the finishing side for demanding dark paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy the EX 04-06 — bottle sizes and workflow recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 04-06\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in 250 ml and 1000 ml. The 250 ml bottle is enough for several complete vehicle polishes — product use on the dual-action machine is moderate, because the polish works efficiently and needs few reloads. The 1000 ml bottle is the standard size for shops and keen private users who polish regularly. With the value combo you save on top of buying single — especially for detailers who run the EX 04-06 as their standard finishing polish, the stock pack pays off fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the optimal workflow on the dual-action machine we recommend: on light defects, the EX 04-06 as a single-step solution on a medium pad. On medium defects, first the EX 05-05 on a hard pad, then the EX 04-06 on a soft pad for the finish. After that, degrease with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e and, if needed, seal with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-polymernetshield-lackversiegelung\"\u003ePolymerNetShield\u003c\/a\u003e or a CeramicCoating of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA note on storage: the EX 04-06 tends to separate slightly when left standing for a while. Shake the bottle thoroughly before every use, until the consistency is evenly creamy. Store the product frost-free and sealed — frozen polish loses its abrasive structure and won't go on evenly after that, and should be thrown away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor beginners stuck between the EX 04-06 and a rotary polish, the recommendation is clear: if you've got no machine-polishing experience yet, start with the dual-action machine and the EX 04-06. The combination is far more forgiving than a rotary with an aggressive cutting polish. You can learn the technique calmly, without fear of burn-throughs or holograms. The result might not quite reach what an experienced polisher gets on the rotary — but it'll be solid, safe and more than enough for the vast majority of needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":53520265773391,"sku":"D1-SNX-2421410","price":14.06,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":53520265806159,"sku":"D1-SNX-2423000","price":33.15,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 250ml set","offer_id":53520265871695,"sku":"D1-SNX-2421410_2","price":28.12,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 250ml set","offer_id":53520265904463,"sku":"D1-SNX-2421410_3","price":42.18,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53520265937231,"sku":"D1-SNX-2423000_2","price":64.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53520265969999,"sku":"D1-SNX-2423000_3","price":95.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-ex-04-06-hochglanz-politur.png?v=1730648016"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-ex-05-05-schleif-politur-heavy-cut","title":"PROFILINE EX \"05-05\" Cutting Compound (Heavy-Cut)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRemove deep scratches on the dual-action polisher with the SONAX EX 05-05 cutting compound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat can the SONAX EX 05-05 do?

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e breaks with that limitation. Paired with a HybridwollPad, this cutting compound gets you results on the dual-action that used to be reserved for the rotary: sanding marks up to P1500 disappear in a single pass, deep scratches and etching are pulled out reliably, and the 5\/5 gloss rating leaves a finish that often needs no extra polishing step.

The EX 05-05 covers the range from P1500 down to light P1200 marks — and in that range it gives you a result on the dual-action that makes switching to the rotary unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who rarely uses their dual-action for heavy-cut, an important note: the performance of the EX 05-05 depends a lot on the quality of the dual-action. Cheap entry-level DAs with a short throw (8 mm) and a weak motor hit their limits fast on heavy defects. Machines with a long throw (15 to 21 mm) like the common pro models deliver far more friction energy and tap the EX 05-05's potential better. If you're planning to do heavy-cut work on the dual-action regularly, the investment in a long-throw machine pays off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the EX 05-05 the right way — pad choice, speed and technique\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e shows its full strength paired with the HybridwollPad. For less aggressive jobs — say on near-new paint with only light scratches — a hard foam pad (orange) works too, giving slightly less cut at slightly higher gloss. On a soft finishing pad the compound loses too much cutting power — for pure finish-polishing the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-ex-04-06-hochglanz-politur\"\u003eEX 04-06\u003c\/a\u003e is the better call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePut three to four pea-sized dots on the pad and spread the compound over the panel at a low speed. Step up to speed 5 to 6 and work in slow, overlapping passes across the section. A typical section — about half a fender — takes three to four minutes on the dual-action. By the end of the pass the compound should sit clear and thin on the surface — the sign that the abrasives have fully broken down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emachine handling\u003c\/strong\u003e on the EX 05-05 differs from a finishing polish: with heavy-cut you can apply a bit more pressure than when finish-polishing, but only ever enough that the dual-action motion doesn't come to a stop. The moment you feel the machine stalling or vibrating, take the pressure off straight away. A stalling pad creates localised heat that can cause thermal damage on sensitive paints — showing up as light discolouration or dullness that even re-polishing can no longer fully correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you work on \u003cstrong\u003eedges and raised lines\u003c\/strong\u003e, take extra care: the clearcoat there is often only half as thick as on the flats. Drop the pressure clearly in these areas and rather run one extra pass with little pressure than a single pass with too much cut. A coating thickness gauge before you start gives you certainty about the room you've got to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the pass, wipe the residue off with a clean microfibre cloth and check under LED light. If defects are still visible, repeat the pass on the same section. With the EX 05-05, two to three passes per panel on hard European paints are nothing unusual — on softer Japanese or Korean paints a single pass is often enough. Match your expectations to the paint type and plan in enough time, instead of giving up after one pass when the result isn't right yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDegrease the polished surface afterwards with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e to see the true result. Polishing oils can visually mask leftover defects — under Prepare it becomes clear whether all the scratches have really gone or whether another pass is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeavy-cut on the dual-action — typical use cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main field for the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e is defect correction on paints that are too sensitive for the rotary, or where you prefer the safety of the dual-action. Day-to-day, that comes down to a few scenarios:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're \u003cstrong\u003edetailing dark paints\u003c\/strong\u003e (black, dark blue, dark grey), the dual-action is the safer call, because it throws fewer holograms than the rotary. On these demanding colours the EX 05-05 delivers enough cut to remove scratches and swirls, and the 5\/5 gloss rating keeps the rework to a minimum. On black paint a short finishing pass with the EX 04-06 often makes sense, to pull out that last bit of deep gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003ecars with a thin clearcoat layer\u003c\/strong\u003e — measured with a coating thickness gauge — the dual-action gives you more control over material removal. The EX 05-05 removes defects efficiently, but more controlled than a rotary polish, because the dual-action motion takes off less per unit of time. That gives you the chance to check progress after every pass and stop in time, before the clearcoat gets too thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003escratch removal in hard-to-reach spots\u003c\/strong\u003e — door-handle recesses, swage lines, transitions between panels — the compact dual-action with a small pad (75 mm or 125 mm) is a better fit than the big rotary. The EX 05-05 works on all common pad sizes and adapts flexibly to the panel geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne more scenario that pro detailers value: \u003cstrong\u003ecorrecting transport damage and car-wash scratches\u003c\/strong\u003e on new vehicles. Plenty of new cars arrive at the dealer with fine to medium scratches — caused by film removal, transport securing or careless cleaning out on the lot. The EX 05-05 removes these defects on the safe dual-action, without putting the thin factory paint at risk. Combined with a final ceramic coating, the car ends up better protected than it was in delivery condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCutting compound comparison — EX 05-05 vs. CutMax vs. Cut+Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe three key cutting compounds in the SONAX PROFILINE range cover different machine types and demands:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur\"\u003eCutMax (6\/4)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is the cutting compound for the rotary — maximum cut (6\/5), moderate gloss (4\/5), optimised for the high friction energy of the rotary. It's the first choice for heavy defects from P1000 up on the rotary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-cut-finish-einstufen-politur\"\u003eCut+Finish (5\/5)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is the one-step solution for the rotary — same cut value as the EX 05-05, but with a high-gloss finish at the same time. It covers the range from P1500 up and combines cutting and finishing in a single pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEX 05-05 (5\/5)\u003c\/strong\u003e is the counterpart to the Cut+Finish for the dual-action: same performance values, but a formula optimised for the kinematics of the DA. If you own a dual-action and want to do heavy defect correction, you reach for the EX 05-05. If you've got a rotary, you take the Cut+Finish or CutMax. A universal polish that works equally well on both machine types doesn't exist — the physical demands of the two motions are too different. That's why SONAX deliberately developed separate product lines for rotary and dual-action with the PROFILINE range, rather than offering compromise products that don't show their full strength on either machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying the EX 05-05 — sizes and recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in 250 ml and 1000 ml. For the occasional job detailing your own car, the 250 ml bottle is enough — a full defect correction uses between 50 and 100 ml depending on the size of the car and how bad the defects are. The 1000 ml bottle is the more economical option for detailing businesses and keen enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the optimal workflow for the dual-action, the EX 05-05 is the first step (heavy-cut), followed by the EX 04-06 as the finishing step and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e for degreasing and checking the result. This two-step process on the dual-action gets you results that come close to a three-step process on the rotary — at clearly lower risk of holograms and burn-through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone with both EX-series polishes on the shelf — the EX 05-05 for heavy-cut and the EX 04-06 for finish — is set up for every dual-action job. The two products complement each other perfectly: the EX 05-05 removes the heavy defects, the EX 04-06 pulls out the last bit of gloss. Together they replace a three-product system (cutting paste, cutting compound, finishing polish) of the kind that's standard with the rotary — fewer products, fewer pad changes, fewer things to get wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor economical use: the product consumption of the EX 05-05 on heavy-cut work runs a bit higher than on a finishing polish, because you need more passes per panel. For a full defect correction on the dual-action, count on around 80 to 120 ml per car — depending on the size of the car and how bad the defects are. The 250 ml bottle does two to three cars that way, the 1000 ml bottle eight to twelve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne tip for pad care: the HybridwollPad should be cleaned thoroughly after every car — polish residue in the wool fibres hardens and reduces cutting power on the next job. Rinse the pad out under warm water after the work and let it dry fully before you use it again. You can tell a worn-out HybridwollPad by the wool fibres being flattened and no longer springing back — that's when it's time for a new pad. Rather invest in a fresh pad than in an extra polishing pass: the cut of a new pad is noticeably higher than that of a worn one, and the result more even. Professional outfits change the HybridwollPad after five to eight cars at the latest — beyond that the wool structure is so compacted that the cut drops off noticeably and you're no longer getting the full efficiency out of the EX 05-05.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":53520446619983,"sku":"D1-SNX-2451410","price":15.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":53520446652751,"sku":"D1-SNX-2453000","price":35.58,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 250ml set","offer_id":53520446685519,"sku":"D1-SNX-2451410_2","price":31.58,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 250ml set","offer_id":53520446718287,"sku":"D1-SNX-2451410_3","price":47.37,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53520446751055,"sku":"D1-SNX-2453000_2","price":71.16,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53520446783823,"sku":"D1-SNX-2453000_3","price":106.74,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-ex-05-05-schleif-politur-heavy-cut.png?v=1730649133"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur","title":"PROFILINE CutMax \"6\/4\" cutting compound (down to P1000)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRemove deep scratches and sanding marks with the SONAX CutMax cutting compound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does the SONAX CutMax do?

With a cut rating of 6 on the SONAX scale, it's the most aggressive polish in the PROFILINE range — built for jobs where you need maximum material removal: deep scratches, P1000 sanding marks, orange peel, paint fog and badly weathered paintwork. Despite that heavy cut, the CutMax works almost dust-free thanks to Low Dust Technology and leaves a gloss level of 4\/5, which in most cases only needs a quick finishing step after it. For body shops and pro detailers, the CutMax is the tool of choice when efficiency on defect removal beats everything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum cut for heavy defects.\u003c\/strong\u003e The abrasive blend in the CutMax is built for fast, deep cutting. It pulls out sanding marks from P1000 in a single pass — a range lighter polishes simply can't reach. Baked-on bug splatter, deep scratches and years of neglected weathering get cut away just as effectively. That cut saves real time in the bay, because you need fewer passes than with milder products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Dust Technology for clean work.\u003c\/strong\u003e With a lot of polishes, heavy cut also means heavy dust — a problem that settles into panel gaps, seals and across the whole workspace and needs serious cleanup. The CutMax solves that with its dedicated Low Dust formula: the compound stays on the pad and on the surface through the whole process instead of dusting off. That saves you the cleanup and keeps polishing dust out of freshly painted areas — a critical point in body shops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood gloss despite the heavy cut.\u003c\/strong\u003e A gloss level of 4\/5 is remarkable for a cutting compound this aggressive.

Start at 1000 rpm to spread the compound out, then take it up to 1500–1800 rpm for the actual cutting. Work in rows with 50 percent overlap and lay down even, moderate pressure — the abrasives need friction, not heavy pressure. After each pass, check with an LED light whether the defects are fully gone before you move to the finishing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCut 6\/4 — how the CutMax can take heavy paint defects out in one pass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e hits its high cut through a mix of specially sized abrasive particles and a formula that keeps the cut steady across the whole pass. Unlike basic cutting compounds, whose cut drops off noticeably after the first thirty seconds because the abrasives break down too fast, the CutMax holds its cutting power through the entire work cycle. In practice that means: one pass of two to three minutes per section is enough to fully remove even deep sanding marks — instead of the three or four passes you'd need with a weaker polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gloss level of 4\/5 shows the CutMax isn't a pure cutting paste but a cutting compound with controlled particle breakdown. The abrasives start out aggressive and break down into finer particles over the pass, which already take care of part of the finish. The result is a surface that's noticeably smoother and glossier than after a pure cutting paste — but not yet at the level of a dedicated finishing polish. For shops that need to get to a presentable result fast after wet sanding, that in-between stage is often already enough when concours quality isn't on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne important difference to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-cut-finish-einstufen-politur\"\u003eSONAX Cut+Finish (5\/5)\u003c\/a\u003e: the CutMax has the higher cut and comes in where the Cut+Finish doesn't pull enough material anymore — so with P1000 sanding marks, deep scratches and heavy weathering. The Cut+Finish is the one-step solution from P1500, the CutMax is the heavy hammer for everything below that. In a lot of shops both products sit side by side: the Cut+Finish for most of the day-to-day work, the CutMax for the heavy cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing a cutting compound right — machine, pad and technique for maximum cut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e shows its full potential on the rotary machine. The pure rotation builds more friction and heat than a dual-action machine — exactly the energy a cutting compound at this level needs to deliver maximum cut. It works on a dual-action machine too, but with a clearly reduced cut: you need more passes and more time for the same result. If you regularly tackle heavy correction, the rotary is the right investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003epad choice\u003c\/strong\u003e heavily shapes the result. For maximum cut, go for a hard foam pad (white in the SONAX colour system) or a lambswool pad. The lambswool pad gives the highest cut of all pad types but also leaves the roughest surface — ideal for the first pass on heavy defects, followed by a foam pad for the refinement. A medium pad reduces the cut and suits paints that need less correction, or sensitive areas like edges and creases, where too aggressive a cut could burn through the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor application, put three to four pea-sized dots on the pad and spread the compound across the panel at low speed. Then take it up to working speed and polish in rows with fifty percent overlap. Work in sections of around forty by forty centimetres — small enough to stay in control, big enough to make efficient progress. Listen to the machine: a steady hum tells you the pad is working cleanly on the surface. A rattle or vibration points to too much pressure or a clogged pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the cutting pass, wipe the compound residue off with a clean microfibre cloth and check the result under an LED light. If the defects are fully gone, the finishing step follows. If marks are still showing, repeat the pass — better a second controlled pass than a single one with too much pressure that can cause holograms or heat spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common beginner mistake working with the CutMax: too much product on the pad. A cutting compound needs less product than a finishing polish, because the cut comes from the abrasives, not from the volume of paste. Three to four small dots are enough for a section of forty by forty centimetres. Too much product thins out the cutting action, drags out the pass and makes wiping harder. In pro shops, experienced polishers sometimes work with even less product — they make up for the smaller amount with precise machine control that gets the most out of the abrasive that's there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne important note on \u003cstrong\u003eheat control\u003c\/strong\u003e: the rotary builds serious heat when you work with a cutting compound. On dark paints the surface temperature can climb past seventy degrees in a few seconds — a temperature that can damage the clear coat. Check the temperature regularly by running the back of your hand over the surface. When it gets uncomfortably warm, let the section cool briefly before you carry on. On edges, creases and raised lines the heat build-up is especially critical, because the paint layer there is thinner than on flat panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrecting heavy paint defects — the ideal use cases for the CutMax\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main job for the \u003cstrong\u003eCutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e is defect correction after wet sanding with P1000 to P1200 grit. In the body shop that's the most common use: after a blend-in or spot repair, the transition between new and old paint gets wet sanded, and the CutMax then takes the sanding marks out in a single pass. The compound being silicone-free is key here — in a shop environment where paint goes on every day, there can be no silicone risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003ereconditioning badly neglected vehicles\u003c\/strong\u003e the CutMax shows its strength too. Paints that have been exposed to sun, bird droppings, tree sap and industrial fallout for years build up an oxidised layer that lighter polishes can't get through. The CutMax cuts that layer away efficiently and exposes the undamaged paint underneath. The result is often striking: colours that looked dull and faded show the full depth and brilliance of the original paint again after correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003enew-car reconditioning\u003c\/strong\u003e the CutMax comes into play too, when the factory paint shows heavy orange peel. A wet sand with P1000 levels the surface, and the CutMax brings the gloss back. This job takes experience, because the clear coat on new vehicles is often thinner than on older paint systems — a paint thickness reading before sanding is a must, so you don't break through the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003epartial PPF wraps\u003c\/strong\u003e on front ends the CutMax sometimes comes in indirectly: the paint under the film gets polished before the wrap to clear up any defects that would show through the clear film. The CutMax removes scratches and swirls fast and effectively, and the finishing polish after it leaves a flawlessly smooth base for the film to bond to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the CutMax hits its limits: on scratches that reach down into the base coat or the primer, no polish helps — here you need to respray the affected spot. The CutMax also can't replace clear coat that's already peeling over a large area. In cases like that it's better to be honest with the customer about the limits of polishing than to promise a result you can't reach. Honest communication builds the customer's trust over the long run far more than a cosmetic compromise that shows again after a few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCutting compound comparison — CutMax vs. UltimateCut vs. EX 05-05\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the SONAX PROFILINE range there are three products in play for heavy defect removal: CutMax, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-ultimatecut-schleif-politur\"\u003eUltimateCut\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-ex-05-05-schleif-politur-heavy-cut\"\u003eEX 05-05\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eUltimateCut (6+\/3)\u003c\/strong\u003e has the highest cut in the whole range — even higher than the CutMax. It's reserved for the most extreme cases: the worst weathering, P800 sanding marks, massive orange peel. The gloss level of 3\/5 shows that after the UltimateCut a finishing step is definitely needed — often even a two-step finish.

It's the alternative for anyone who doesn't get the result they want with the Cut+Finish — for example on particularly hard ceramic clear coats, where the EX series has traditionally been strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCutMax (6\/4)\u003c\/strong\u003e sits between these extremes: more cut than the EX 05-05, but a clearly better gloss than the UltimateCut. For the bulk of heavy defect-correction work — wet sanding from P1000, deep scratches, heavy weathering — the CutMax is the optimal choice, because it gets the defect removal done in one step and keeps the finishing step after it short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying the CutMax — bottle sizes and workflow recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in 250 ml, 1000 ml and 5 litres. The 250 ml bottle is enough for several complete vehicle corrections and is the ideal entry point for private users and smaller outfits. The 1000 ml bottle is the standard size for shops with regular polishing demand. The 5-litre container is aimed at high-throughput businesses — the per-litre price is lowest here, and the wide opening makes it easier to dispense with a dosing bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best polishing workflow we recommend the combination: CutMax as the cutting compound on the rotary, followed by the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PerfectFinish\u003c\/a\u003e as the finishing step on the dual-action machine, and finally \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e for degreasing and result check. This three-step combo covers the whole defect-correction process — from heavy cutting to a finish that's ready to seal. Anyone who wants to lay down a long-term sealant afterwards already has the perfect base with Prepare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn shelf life and storage: like all cutting compounds, the CutMax can separate slightly if it sits for a while. Shake the bottle thoroughly before every use until the consistency is homogeneous and creamy again. Store the product frost-free and sealed — frozen compound loses its abrasive structure and is useless after that. Stored properly, the CutMax keeps its full performance over the whole shelf life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA closing practical note on the \u003cstrong\u003ecost-effective use\u003c\/strong\u003e in the shop: the CutMax has a higher per-litre price than consumer polishes from the DIY store, but the product consumption per vehicle is much lower. The concentrated formula means you get by with three to four dots per section — a 250 ml bottle lasts for several complete vehicle corrections. Measured by result per euro spent, the CutMax is therefore more economical than cheaper alternatives that need double or triple the product and still take more passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":53520611148111,"sku":"D1-SNX-2461410","price":17.36,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":53520611180879,"sku":"D1-SNX-2463000","price":52.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":53520611213647,"sku":"D1-SNX-2465000","price":229.43,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 250ml set","offer_id":53520611246415,"sku":"D1-SNX-2461410_2","price":34.72,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 250ml set","offer_id":53520611279183,"sku":"D1-SNX-2461410_3","price":52.08,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53520611311951,"sku":"D1-SNX-2463000_2","price":105.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1 Liter Set","offer_id":53520611344719,"sku":"D1-SNX-2463000_3","price":158.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur.png?v=1730650207"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-os-02-06-hochglanz-politur-versiegelung-one-step","title":"PROFILINE OS \"02-06\" High Gloss Polish with Sealant (One-Step)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHigh Gloss and Sealant in One Step — SONAX PROFILINE OS 02-06\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does SONAX PROFILINE OS 02-06 do?

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE OS 02-06\u003c\/strong\u003e was developed for precisely these scenarios: a professional one-step polish that, in a single step, evens out light polishing marks and swirl marks while simultaneously building up a protective sealant layer.

Three steps are reduced to one – without compromising the gloss result on suitable vehicles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine abrasion for light swirl marks and polishing marks.\u003c\/strong\u003e The abrasiveness of the OS 02-06 is positioned in the middle of the SONAX product scale with “02-06”: fine enough for final polishing steps and one-step applications, yet effective enough to remove light to medium swirl marks.

For vehicles treated only with the OS 02-06, this step is not necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne-Step Polish Technology — Correction and Sealant Combined in One Formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technical uniqueness of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE OS 02-06\u003c\/strong\u003e lies in combining two normally incompatible functions in one formula: abrasive polishing and protective layer build-up. For a pure correction polish, it is important that the formula contains no waxy or polymeric components that would get between the abrasive particles and the paint surface and reduce the polishing effect. For a pure sealant, on the other hand, no abrasion should be present that would immediately destroy the freshly applied protective layer. The OS 02-06 resolves this contradiction through specifically matched particle sizes and an optimized formulation approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finely ground abrasive particles of the OS 02-06 are dimensioned to exert their corrective action during the active polishing phase (when the pad is guided over the surface with pressure and speed). When the polish is buffed out (less pressure, lower speed), the remaining polymer components of the formula lay down a uniform film on the cleaned surface. This sequential principle – first abrasion, then protective layer formation – enables the combination of both functions in one product without them interfering with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sealing component of the OS 02-06 is designed as short-term protection that lasts for several months but is not comparable to a full polymer or ceramic coating. For vehicles that are regularly detailed (every 3–6 months) and where durable protection via ceramic coating is not the goal, this level of protection is sufficient. For vehicles where maximum sealant durability is the goal, the two-step approach (OS 02-06 or \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-np-03-06-hochglanz-politur-finish\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE NP 03-06\u003c\/a\u003e for polishing, then panel wipe and dedicated sealant) remains the first choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying OS 02-06 Correctly — Pad Selection, Machine, and Workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptimal application of the one-step polish begins with pad selection: For the OS 02-06, combination pads or slightly abrasive foam pads are recommended, as they effectively support the correction component and evenly distribute the sealing component. Pure finishing pads (very soft pads without inherent abrasion) significantly reduce the corrective performance of the OS 02-06 – if the focus is on swirl removal, a combination pad is the better choice. Very hard or abrasive pads, on the other hand, increase corrective performance but can over-work the sealing polymer and produce an uneven result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine guidance: Begin one-step polishing at medium speed (4–5 on an eccentric polisher) and normal polishing pressure. First, spread the polish on the pad, then guide it over the surface with overlapping passes – typically 2–3 passes for complete swirl removal. For the final pass, reduce speed and pressure to finally and evenly polish the sealing polymer into the paint surface. The wipe-off step with a clean microfiber towel should occur when the polish on the paint transitions to a whitish-matte phase – this is the optimal time to wipe off the sealing component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant for results control: After polishing, check the area under angled artificial light for remaining swirl marks. The OS 02-06 completely removes light swirl marks and significantly reduces medium swirl marks – deep scratches and heavy holograms will remain visible with a one-step polish and require a multi-stage process with a more aggressive correction step. One-step polish is not a substitute for multi-stage correction on heavily damaged paints, but rather the right tool for paints where the degree of damage does not require deeper correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication Areas of OS 02-06 — When One-Step Polish is the Right Choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE OS 02-06\u003c\/strong\u003e optimally covers several typical detailing scenarios in professional detailing operations. New vehicle preparation: New vehicles arrive with manufacturing-related transport protection residues and fine holograms from factory polishing, but without deeper swirl marks or scratches. The OS 02-06 removes these fine surface imperfections in one step and leaves the paint ready for sealing – an economical and time-efficient solution for new vehicle preparation before delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance preparation and regular care: Vehicles that are detailed every few months and have only accumulated light, everyday swirl marks benefit from the one-step efficiency of the OS 02-06. Instead of polishing the surface first, then degreasing, and then sealing, everything is done in one pass. For businesses with high vehicle throughput, this means significant time savings per vehicle – with consistently good results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDealer preparation and stock vehicles: Used car dealerships and lease returns with manageable paint damage (everyday scratches, light swirls from washing) are a classic application area. The OS 02-06 enables quick, qualitatively convincing preparation that makes the vehicle significantly more attractive for sale, without requiring the time investment of a full multi-stage preparation. The sealing polymer in the OS 02-06 also protects the paint from environmental influences during storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOS 02-06 in Comparison — One-Step vs. Multi-Stage Polish and OS 04-05\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the SONAX PROFILINE range, there are two one-step polishes for different requirements.

The OS 04-05 does not contain an integrated sealing component and is positioned as a pure correction product that subsequently requires a separate sealing step. The choice between the two depends on the extent of paint damage: light swirls and maintenance detailing → OS 02-06; medium to heavier swirls → OS 04-05 followed by a separate sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to multi-stage polishing (heavy correction stage + finishing polish + panel wipe + sealant), the one-step polish naturally falls short on heavily damaged paints: it cannot remove deep scratches that require a heavy polishing stage, and the integrated sealant protection is not as durable as a dedicated ceramic coating. For vehicles with this level of damage, we recommend the multi-stage process with the NP 03-06 as the finishing polish. The advantage of the OS 02-06 lies in time savings and efficiency for low to medium-low damage levels – used on the right vehicle, it delivers a professional result that impresses customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailers who want to cover both scenarios, we recommend the OS 02-06 as the standard one-step for the majority of incoming vehicles (which are in normal condition) and the OS 04-05 as a reserve for more heavily damaged paints. This two-tier polishing workflow, based on the degree of damage, is a professional approach that maximizes both result quality and operational efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePurchasing SONAX PROFILINE OS 02-06 — Sizes and Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE OS 02-06\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in 250 ml and 1 liter sizes, as well as in 2-pack and 3-pack sets. The 250 ml container is ideal for beginners who want to get to know the product, or for use on small areas (individual panels, hood, roof). The 1-liter container is the most economical choice for regular users and professional businesses – approximately 15–25 ml are needed per vehicle application, depending on pad size and vehicle size, so one liter is sufficient for approximately 40–65 complete vehicle applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OS 02-06 is particularly recommended for businesses that offer high-quality, time-efficient detailing as a standard service and want to rely on a product that combines correction and protection.

Lay the GlassPolish onto the damp pane with a sponge or applicator cloth and work it in with circular motions — a slightly damp surface spreads the cerium oxide more evenly than dry glass does. For stubborn wiper marks, work with a polishing machine and a foam pad — polishing by hand is plenty for light spots and water marks, but for deeper scratches a machine gives you a hand. After polishing, rinse the area with clean water and buff it off with a clean microfibre cloth — the result shows up straight away in how clear the glass reads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCerium oxide technology: how the glass polish regenerates glass surfaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCerium oxide (CeO₂) is a rare-earth metal oxide that has been used in glass optics and glass processing as an abrasive and polishing agent for precision glass for decades. What makes it so well suited to glass comes down to a chemical-mechanical dual action: on one hand, cerium oxide has a specific hardness (Mohs scale ~6) that is ideal for glass (Mohs ~5–6) — hard enough for abrasion, but not so hard that it lays down fresh deep scratches. On the other, cerium oxide reacts chemically with the silicon dioxide of the glass surface and forms temporary cerium-silicate compounds during polishing that boost the polishing effect on a molecular level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat dual action explains why cerium oxide polishes treat glass surfaces far more effectively than purely mechanical abrasives: the chemical activity etches the silicon-dioxide surface of the glass on a microscopic level, which together with the mechanical abrasion creates a \"reflow\" effect — tiny scratches aren't just sanded away, the glass matrix flows slightly and fills the finest cracks. That's why, after a cerium oxide polish, scratches look gone that were really only \"rounded off\" or filled in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE GlassPolish\u003c\/strong\u003e uses this principle in a formulation tuned for vehicle work: the cerium oxide particles are suspended in a suitable carrier liquid that ensures even spread and enough lubrication. That keeps excess friction heat down during polishing and protects the pane from uneven removal. At the same time, the formula is built so it rinses off residue-free after polishing — no whitish cerium oxide film stays on the pane that could hurt optical clarity once you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the glass polish the right way — from prep to result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with the glass polish follows a clear workflow that breaks down into prep, polishing and finishing. Prep matters especially with glass polishing: any speck of dirt on the pane that gets between the applicator and the glass during polishing makes fresh scratches — a mistake that gives you exactly the opposite of what you wanted. Wash the pane thoroughly with glass cleaner, rinse with clean water and dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Mask off the edge seals and paint around the pane with masking tape — cerium oxide on paint leaves streaks that are hard to get off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolishing by hand: put GlassPolish on a sponge or applicator cloth, lay it onto the damp glass and work it in with circular motions. Medium pressure, even movement — don't let it dry, top up with a damp cloth or a little water if you need to. The visible sign it's working: the abrasive film clears up as you go and runs less — that tells you the cerium oxide particles are working the surface. After 3–5 minutes of polishing, take the product off with a damp microfibre cloth and check the result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolishing by machine: for more stubborn wiper marks or deeper scratches, reach for a polishing machine with a foam pad. Low speed (setting 2–3), light pressure — glass is more sensitive than paint and reacts faster to excess friction heat. Work in sections (max. 30×30 cm), don't dwell too long on one spot. After each pass, check the result in the light — look through the pane against the light to spot any leftover scratches and streaks. Depending on how deep the scratches run, a second pass may be needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlass polish use cases — typical glass problems and how to fix them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE GlassPolish\u003c\/strong\u003e tackles a range of typical glass problems that show up on vehicles in everyday use. Wiper marks are the most common job: wiper blades dragging sand particles along make fine scratch marks in the windscreen glass — you'll spot them as light scatter in rain and low sun. These scratches are usually very fine and respond well to one or two passes of the cerium oxide polish. One thing to watch: after the glass polish, check the wiper rubber for damage and replace it if needed, since old wiper rubbers will just start the wiper-marking all over again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStubborn water spots and limescale deposits on the glass are the second most common job. Limescale from hard water that has dried onto the pane can first be loosened chemically with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-waterspot-remover-wasserfleckenentferner-kalkentferner\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Waterspot Remover\u003c\/a\u003e — in stubborn cases, where the limescale has already attacked the glass surface, the GlassPolish follows as the mechanical step to polish out the remaining haze in the glass. This combined approach (chemical first, then mechanical) is far more effective on heavy limescale damage than mechanical polishing alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxidation film on glass (a yellowish or dull layer that absorbs light) builds up from UV exposure and chemical reactions on the glass surface — especially on vehicles that sit in the sun for long stretches or run in industrial settings. Normal glass cleaners won't shift this film, but it responds well to the cerium oxide polish. After treatment, the glass reads noticeably clearer and scatters far less light in low sun and at night — a direct safety gain for the driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlassPolish compared — when chemical, when mechanical, when both?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn glass refinishing there are different product strategies you should pick by problem type and intensity. Purely chemical approaches (like the SONAX PROFILINE Waterspot Remover) are ideal for mineral deposits and light limescale, without removing any of the glass surface mechanically — that method is fast and risk-free, but it does nothing against mechanical scratches. The GlassPolish, as a chemical-mechanical product, is the right call when there are scratches or streaks alongside the spots that need mechanical work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst wet-sanding paper (e.g. P2000 or P3000 wet polish for glass), the GlassPolish has a clear edge: the cerium oxide formula is less aggressive and leaves a finer surface after treatment that doesn't need a follow-up fine polish. Wet-sanding paper removes deeper scratches more efficiently, but leaves sanding marks that then have to be levelled out with a cerium oxide polish. For typical vehicle glass problems (wiper marks, limescale, light oxidation) the GlassPolish is the most direct and gentlest solution — without needing a multi-step sanding process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a finishing step after the glass polish, a glass sealant is worth it — it protects the polished surface and adds water repellency through a lotus effect — the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-glass-scheibenversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating \"CC\" Glass\u003c\/a\u003e gives you long-term protection here, and the hydrophobic properties improve wiper performance and visibility in rain while cutting future water spots right down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy SONAX PROFILINE GlassPolish — sizes and use in a professional workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE GlassPolish\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in 250 ml (single bottle) and as a 2x 250 ml set.

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE HeadlightPolish\u003c\/strong\u003e is the pro headlight polish for mechanically reconditioning these headlight surfaces: abrasive enough to pull off yellowing and oxidation, fine enough to leave a clear, scratch-free finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrips yellowing and UV oxidation off polycarbonate surfaces.\u003c\/strong\u003e Polycarbonate, the material modern car headlights are made of, is light and impact-resistant but UV-sensitive: without an intact UV protective layer the surface oxidises into a yellowy, cloudy, matte film that scatters light instead of letting it through.

After polishing, always lay down a UV protective sealant — without protection the headlights yellow again within 6–18 months.

Chemically, the oxidation layer on yellowed headlights is a photodegradation layer — UV light breaks the polymer chain bonds in the polycarbonate and forms carbonyl groups, which cause the yellow discolouration. That layer sits on the top micrometres of the polycarbonate and can be cut off by abrasion without touching the material underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe abrasive particles in the HeadlightPolish are tuned for polycarbonate surfaces: polycarbonate is noticeably softer than tempered glass or car paint and reacts faster to abrasion. Particles that are too coarse would cut deep marks into the clear material that hurt light transmission just as much as the original yellowing. The HeadlightPolish uses finely ground abrasive particles that take the layer off in a controlled way and leave a polished, clear surface. The result depends on how far the yellowing and oxidation have gone: lightly yellowed headlights come fully clear with a single polish, heavily yellowed or deeply eroded headlights need several passes or a wet-sanding step first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn important point in headlight reconditioning is understanding the layer structure: new headlights have a factory-applied UV protective layer (hardcoating) that shields the polycarbonate from UV light. Over time that protective layer breaks down, and the unprotected polycarbonate starts to oxidise. The HeadlightPolish removes the oxidation layer, but not the underlying problem: the freshly polished polycarbonate has no UV protection after the polish, and without a new protective layer it will yellow again. That's why the combo of HeadlightPolish (the polish) and a UV-resistant sealant is the complete reconditioning concept for headlights that stay clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clarity and light transmission of a freshly reconditioned headlight can make the difference in TÜV-relevant terms: headlights that have lost more than 50% of their light transmission to extreme yellowing can be flagged as defects at a roadworthiness inspection. A professional headlight reconditioning doesn't just bring back the look — it also has practical relevance for vehicle safety and registration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the HeadlightPolish right — hand polishing and machine work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplying the headlight polish starts with prep: wash and dry the headlight thoroughly to get rid of grit and coarse dirt particles that would scratch during polishing. Mask off the adjacent paint with painter's tape, since the HeadlightPolish abrades clear coat too — and that's a pain to fix afterwards. Check the headlight for scratches and how deep any cracks run: surface scratches polish out, but deep cracks or internal headlight damage can't be fixed by polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy hand: lay the HeadlightPolish onto an applicator or a soft microfibre cloth. Work even circular motions with medium pressure across the whole headlight face — dwell time matters less here than the mechanical action from pressure and movement. By hand you'll need several passes to get the same result you'd get from one machine pass. The hand method works especially well on smaller headlights or for spot work (single blemishes or local oxidation patches) where a machine is less precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy machine: run a small pad (65–80 mm) on a dual-action or rotary polisher (speed 3–4) with even, light pressure across the headlight face. The curved geometry of most headlights calls for a flexible pad that follows the shape, and controlled pad guidance to avoid uneven edge pressure. After the machine pass, buff off with a clean microfibre cloth and check the result in raking light for any leftover sanding marks or haze. Do a second pass if needed, especially on heavily yellowed headlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the HeadlightPolish earns its keep — when headlight reconditioning makes sense\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA professional headlight reconditioning with the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE HeadlightPolish\u003c\/strong\u003e pays off in plenty of situations. The most common case is sprucing up the look of cars five years and older that have lost their appeal to UV yellowing. In the used-car trade, headlight reconditioning is one of the most cost-effective upgrades going: a professional job takes 20–30 minutes per car, uses little material and lifts the look of the car a lot — an effort that pays for itself fast in the asking price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of a full detail, headlight reconditioning is a quality signal: a car with clear, freshly reconditioned headlights next to high-gloss paint reads as overall coherence and craftsmanship. Plenty of customers value it when a detailer looks after this detail too, and take it as a marker for the quality of the whole job. Offering headlight reconditioning as an add-on service is, for that reason, a worthwhile addition to a detailer's line-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn fleet and commercial vehicles, headlight reconditioning matters for safety: van fleets that run a lot at night or in poor visibility benefit from maximum headlight brightness.
