When first priming a fresh pad, saturate the entire pad — only then will the abrasive particles and pad truly work together. From the second section, 3 to 5 pea-sized drops per 40×40 cm panel are sufficient. If you flood half the pad again in the second section, you will end up with a layer of superfluous abrasive residue that noticeably reduces the gloss level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCold paint. Saturate pad. Until translucent.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeavy Cut H9.02 should only be used on cold, dry, and contamination-free paint. Residual contamination acts as an abrasive and creates new scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore each polishing round, the paint should be degreased, preferably with an IPA cleaner from the Prep segment, to eliminate wax residues beforehand. The manufacturer gives clear priority for machine selection: rotary polisher at medium speed for maximum abrasion performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 generation of Heavy Cut pads now also allows use with eccentric polishers (DA polishers) — the gloss level remains comparable, but the abrasion time per panel increases by approximately 20 percent. On a fresh pad, apply an even film when priming, spread it with finger pressure when the machine is off, and then start at level 1 to 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing a cross-hatch pattern with moderate pressure, work a 40 by 40 centimeter panel until the polish becomes translucent. This is the point at which the abrasive particles have completely disintegrated and the aluminum oxide has reached its maximum fineness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore this point, the grit removes too much and leaves a rough microstructure; after this point, the pad works dry and creates holograms. Two to three section passes per panel are standard; for more severe defects, it's better to reduce the panel size than to extend the working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemove residues with a clean, edgeless microfiber cloth — don't rub, just wipe. Between panels, check the pad for saturation: if it's sticky and shiny, loosen it with a pad-cleaning brush; if it's caked, change 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 Application Koch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 Rotary Polisher Clear Coat\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbrasive grade 9.0 removes P1200. Not deep enough for primer.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 is a correction polish, not a repair. Anything within the clear coat thickness — swirls from car washes, roller marks, sanding marks after wet sanding up to P1200, water spot etching, light bird dropping etching, UV matting — can be corrected in one to three passes. Anything that already reaches into the paint layer or primer cannot be repaired with any polish in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA paint thickness gauge is mandatory for serious work with abrasive grade 9. Modern OEM clear coats are between 40 and 60 micrometers; a single H9.02 pass removes 1 to 3 micrometers, depending on the pad and pressure. Those who work without measurement and correct three times can quickly hit the paint layer on jet-black clear coats sooner than expected — and then neither finish polish nor sealant will help, only a repaint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest limits: Bitumen, tar, or silicone stains do not react chemically with aluminum oxide — for that, you need a tar remover before polishing. Very soft Japanese clear coats (Toyota White, some Mazda Red tones) can quickly tip into the hologram phase with the lamb's wool pad; here, it's better to start directly with the Foam Pad Red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor fine correction of medium scratches, the H9.02 is oversized — for that, 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 is oversized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe target group includes ambitious private detailers with rotary or DA polishers, semi-commercial detailers with regular fleet contracts, and workshops that recondition used vehicles for resale. Anyone who refreshes their new car once a year will do much better with a finer polish like the F6.01 or an all-round polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEconomically, the 250 ml bottle is already the standard container for private use: at 2 to 3 milliliters consumption per panel, it lasts for about 100 to 125 panels or approximately three to four complete corrections — this corresponds to a material cost of about 14 to 17 cents per panel, including initial priming of the pad. The 1-liter bottle pays off from the tenth correction job per year, the 5-liter canister is a workshop container for businesses with continuous utilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Detailing1 practice, the H9.02 never stands alone — it is step 1 in a two-to-three-stage polishing system. The typical Koch-Chemie workflow: H9.02 on Heavy Cut Pad Red for coarse correction, Fine Cut F6.01 on Fine Cut Foam Pad Yellow for leveling the abrasive structure, Micro Cut M3.02 for hologram removal. Those who skip step 3 accept visible micro-sanding patterns on dark paints. Over 87 percent of our H9.02 buyers order the F6.01 in the same shopping cart — precisely for this reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the strongest lever for a clean result is neither the polish nor the pad, but the paint condition before the first drop. Clean preparation — clay bar, IPA wipedown, masking off trim — saves an average of one complete polishing pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut the best H9.02 tip from the workshop comes at the end: after polishing, wipe the paint again with IPA before sealing. Otherwise, the remaining oils from the pad are enough to shorten the durability of a ceramic coating by 30 to 40 percent — and you'll only notice that three months later. After the session, store pads damp in a bucket with warm water and pad cleaner, do not let them dry — that halves their lifespan.\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 Liter Lineup Detailing1\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","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\" Strong abrasive polish","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRemove deep scratches and heavy oxidation in one step - with Koch-Chemie Heavy Quick Cut \"B9.01\" Heavy Abrasive Polish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003eKoch-Chemie Heavy Quick Cut \"B9.01\" is a powerful abrasive polish with an abrasive rating of 9.0 for machine correction of deep scratches, heavy oxidation, and coarse sanding marks from P1500 grit - silicone-oil-free, suitable for all types of paint, and designed as the first stage in the multi-step Koch-Chemie polishing process.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive rating 9.0 maximum abrasive effect in the polish portfolio\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, compatible with all coatings\u003c\/strong\u003e — no silicone-containing fillers that mask paint defects instead of correcting them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow dust and splatter development\u003c\/strong\u003e — developed for clean work with rotary and orbital polishers without excessive contamination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a Heavy Cut Polish needed for - and when is it the right choice?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Koch-Chemie polishing system, the \u003cstrong\u003eHeavy Quick Cut B9.01\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most aggressive tool in the polish arsenal. With an abrasive rating of 9.0, it is designed for paint conditions where finer polishes like Fine Cut F6.01 or the Lack-Polish range simply don't cut deep enough. Typical application situations: heavily oxidized paint on old vehicles, deep holograms after several years of car wash visits, coarse sanding marks after wet sanding (from P1500 grit), scratches that extend beyond the clear coat layer, or as a first step in complete paint correction. The difference to simple polishing pastes lies in the abrasive particle size and hardness - the B9.01 actually removes material instead of just filling defects.

Rotary machines generate more heat and friction through the combined rotating and oscillating motion - which activates the abrasive particles of the B9.01 more effectively. The B9.01 can also be used with an orbital polisher and a corresponding Heavy Cut Pad, although the abrasive effect is less than with a rotary machine. Apply five pea-sized drops to the pad, spread at low speed, then work in a cross-hatch pattern with medium pressure and medium speed.

With an abrasive grade of 2.0 and a gloss grade of 9.3, the P2.03 as a paint polish steps in where classic finish products reach their limits, without moving into the category of coarse abrasive polishes.

What this means in practice can be well illustrated by an abrasive grade of 2.0. This value is significantly lower than that of abrasive polishes like Koch-Chemie Heavy Cut H9.02 (abrasive grade 9.0), but noticeably higher than a pure finish polish without abrasive properties. The abrasives in P2.03 are fine enough to mechanically smooth polishing haze, holograms, and fine scratches up to a certain depth — yet they remove so little material that sensitive paintwork, clear coats, and even scratch-resistant systems can be safely treated. What surprises many in practice: The P2.03 does not dry out during application and can be easily processed even at moderate temperatures, without the polish bonding to the surface. The gloss grade of 9.3 is one of the highest finish values in the Koch-Chemie portfolio — for an idea of what that means: The Micro Cut M2.02 also achieves high gloss but is designed for pure hologram and swirl correction without a preservation component. The P2.03 offers the added benefit of integrated preservation, making it a more efficient choice in many detailing workflows. Important for dark paints: On black or deeply colored clear coats, holograms and polishing haze are most noticeable — and this is exactly where the P2.03 plays to its strengths, because the high gloss level optimally enhances the depth and color saturation of these paints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrect Use of the Paint Polish Violet — Workflow, Pads, and Polishing Machines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore applying the P2.03, the vehicle should be thoroughly washed and — depending on the paint condition — decontaminated with a clay bar. Rail dust, tar residue, and brake dust on the paint would be worked in during polishing and could cause deep scratches. Shake the P2.03 well before use. Never treat the paint in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces — neither with P2.03 nor with other polishes in general. For optimal cutting, Koch-Chemie recommends using a rotary polisher at medium speed; the best possible finish without machine marks is achieved with an eccentric polisher. In the two-step Koch-Chemie system, the P2.03 is typically the final polishing step: Step 1 handles coarse correction (Heavy Cut H9.02 or Fine Cut F6.01), Step 2 handles abrasive gloss polishing with P2.03 or alternatively with Micro Cut M2.02. If you want to build a protective layer afterward, you can apply the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-ceramic-allround-c0-02-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eCeramic Allround C0.02 ceramic coating\u003c\/a\u003e — the preserving wax components of P2.03 will not interfere if the surface is first wiped with IPA.

Typical use cases: a vehicle that has stood outdoors for years and whose clear coat appears slightly dull due to UV exposure; a used car with holograms from car wash visits; a new car with initial swirl marks after the first winter. In all these cases, the correction depth of the P2.03 is sufficient to bring the surface back to high gloss without requiring a preceding heavy-cut step. The same applies to motorcycles, commercial vehicles, and motorhomes: wherever painted surfaces are present, the P2.03 can be used — both by machine and with a hand polishing sponge for small areas or hard-to-reach spots. For professional detailers, the P2.03 is particularly interesting if no ceramic coating follows the preparation and the wax protective film of the polish is sufficient for short-term protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e The pad determines the character of the P2.03.

Always apply only five pea-sized drops to the pad — the P2.03 is economical, and too much polish makes buffing difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eP2.03 in Comparison: When is Micro Cut M2.02 or Fine Cut F6.01 Better?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the Koch-Chemie portfolio, there are three polishes that, at first glance, perform similar tasks but have distinctly different strengths in detail. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-micro-cut-m2-02-hochglanz-antihologramm-politur\"\u003eMicro Cut M2.02\u003c\/a\u003e is a pure anti-hologram and high-gloss polish without any preserving components — the right choice if a ceramic or polymer coating is to follow the polishing, as no wax residues will affect the adhesion. If you want to seal directly after polishing, use the M2.02 and wipe the surface with IPA. The P2.03, on the other hand, is the better choice if the paint should remain beautiful for several weeks or months after preparation without a sealant — the integrated wax content protects and shines. The Fine Cut F6.01 is one step higher in abrasiveness: abrasive grade 6.0 for medium scratches and oxidations. If you have deeper defects that the P2.03 alone cannot fully correct, start with the F6.01 and finish with the P2.03 — this is the classic two-step Koch-Chemie system. If the correction work has already been done 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 Red\u003c\/a\u003e and a stronger polish, the P2.03 will deliver the perfect finish. Competitors — such as Menzerna Super Finish SF 3800 or Rupes UNO Protect — also offer gloss polishes with preserving components, but often without the same flexibility through pad choice. Koch-Chemie's color system makes pad assignment particularly practical: violet pad = P2.03, no risk of confusion under time pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Koch-Chemie Paint Polish Violet P2.03 the Right Choice For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P2.03 is the perfect choice for ambitious hobby detailers and professional detailers looking for a product that combines correction and high gloss in a single bottle. If you are preparing a vehicle with light to moderate weathering and do not necessarily want to apply a sealant afterward, the P2.03 is the most efficient final step in your workflow. For professionals who detail vehicles daily and want to optimize working time, the integrated preservation regularly saves a separate sealing step. Those who exclusively rely on ceramic coatings and always wipe down with IPA after polishing are 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 no wax residues are involved.

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.

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?

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.

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 \u0026 Cleaner Glass Polish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarPro CeriGlass\u003c\/strong\u003e is a state-of-the-art glass restoration solution that uses a blend of ceramic abrasives, cerium oxide, and nanotechnology 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\"\u003ePre-Wash Without Scratch Risk 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 provides significantly more adhesion for the foam and noticeably extends the dwell time. At temperatures above 25 °C, work in sections and do not let the foam dry, otherwise it will leave residues that you will have to scrub off anyway. Warm water (30–40 °C) in the foam lance also enhances the cleaning effect — worth the difference in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFoam Lance, Pump Sprayer, or Bucket.

The foam lance delivers the best results, but pump sprayers and hand washing also work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the \u003cstrong\u003efoam lance on a high-pressure cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e, mix 50 to 80 ml of concentrate per liter of total volume — this corresponds to a ratio of 1:10 to 1:20. Less water (1:10) results in denser, drier foam with longer adhesion. More water (1:20) covers larger areas but runs off vertical surfaces more quickly. Start at 1:15 and adjust as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a \u003cstrong\u003epump sprayer\u003c\/strong\u003e, you work with 15 to 25 ml per liter of water — ideal for targeted areas such as wheel arches, door jambs, or the front section with insect residue. As a \u003cstrong\u003ehand wash shampoo\u003c\/strong\u003e, dissolve 50 to 80 ml in a 10-liter bucket of warm water. However, ActiFoam Energy lacks the superfatting agents that shampoos contain for wash mitt glide. For regular contact washing as a standalone shampoo, there are better options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn often underestimated factor in dosing is water temperature. Warm water (30–40 °C) noticeably enhances the cleaning action of the surfactants — both in the foam lance and in the bucket. In winter, when working with ice-cold tap water, it's worth slightly increasing the dosage or warming the water beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe best foam quality is achieved with an adjustable \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-powerfoamer-schaumzerstauber\"\u003efoam lance\u003c\/a\u003e at 90 to 120 bar.

For rust on rims, an acid-based iron particle remover like \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-felgenbeast-felgenreiniger\"\u003eSONAX FelgenBeast\u003c\/a\u003e helps. And a snow foam fundamentally does not replace subsequent contact washing — it makes it safer by removing most of the loose particles beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes ActiFoam Energy from simple car shampoos in the foam lance is its cleaning power in contactless operation. A shampoo is designed as a lubricant for the wash mitt, not as a standalone pre-cleaner. ActiFoam Energy was specifically formulated for use as a snow foam: the phosphate-free formula also dissolves dried insect residue without mechanical action. The typical energy drink scent is not a coincidence, but deliberately chosen as a working companion — a noticeable comfort gain compared to cleaners with biting chemical odors, especially in enclosed garages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, the following workflow has proven effective: apply ActiFoam Energy over the entire bodywork with a foam lance, from bottom to top. Use the dwell time to simultaneously treat the rims with a dedicated rim cleaner. Then rinse everything with a high-pressure cleaner — from top to bottom, so that dissolved dirt runs off. Only then apply the wash mitt with fresh shampoo water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEven when detailing used cars or customer vehicles in a detailing shop, ActiFoam Energy is a good first step: it removes coarse dirt, shows you which areas are truly problematic, and provides a clean initial view for further assessment of the paint condition.

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 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.

Apply three to four pea-sized dots to the pad, spread the polish at low speed, and work in passes with about 50 percent overlap.

At the beginning of the polishing process, the particles are large enough to remove coarse sanding marks from P1500 sandpaper—a task normally reserved for a dedicated abrasive polish. As the polishing pass continues, the particles break down into increasingly finer fragments, which are ultimately so small that they polish the surface to a high gloss without leaving new micro-scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis progressive abrasion is why the polish needs a complete pass to unleash its full potential. If you stop too early—for example, after thirty seconds instead of two minutes per section—you'll remain in the abrasive stage, and while the coarse marks will be removed, you won't achieve high gloss. The polishing pass is only complete when the polish on the paint becomes clear and the typical gloss is visible. Recognizing this point requires a little experience—but after the first two to three polished components, you'll quickly get a feel for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common misunderstanding: Some users believe that a 5\/5 polish is more aggressive than a pure abrasive polish like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur\"\u003eSONAX CutMax (6\/4)\u003c\/a\u003e. The opposite is true—the CutMax with 6\/4 has higher abrasive performance and can remove coarser defects, such as sanding marks from P1000 paper. The Cut+Finish starts at P1500 and achieves the same gloss result there that would otherwise only be achieved with an additional finishing step. If you need to sand more coarsely, you'll need the CutMax as a first step—the Cut+Finish is then the quick one-step solution for lighter to medium sanding jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying one-step polish correctly — machine type, pad selection, and technique\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCut+Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e is primarily developed for rotary polishers. The reason: A rotary polisher generates more heat and friction through its purely rotating movement than an orbital polisher—precisely the energy that the progressive breakdown of abrasives needs to go through the full spectrum from cut to high gloss. The polish also works on an orbital polisher, but with reduced abrasive performance: The eccentric movement generates less heat, so the particles break down more slowly and the polishing pass takes longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003epad selection\u003c\/strong\u003e largely determines the result. On a hard pad (white or orange), the Cut+Finish unleashes its full abrasive performance—ideal for post-wet-sanding. On a medium-hard pad, the abrasive performance is more moderate, which is sufficient for restoring weathered paint without prior sanding. On a soft finishing pad, the polish loses too much cut and no longer achieves the performance for which it was designed—for pure finish polishing, there are more suitable products like \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 application: Apply three to four pea-sized dots of polish to the pad, spread it on the component at low speed, then increase to working speed. Work in passes with about fifty percent overlap across the entire section until the polish becomes clear. A typical section—such as half a hood—takes two to three minutes on a rotary polisher. Wipe off the polish residue with a clean microfiber cloth and check the result under an LED lamp: If sanding marks are still visible, repeat the pass with a little more pressure or higher speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen polishing large areas—hood, roof, side panels—correct pressure distribution is crucial. Hold the machine so that the pad rests evenly on the surface, and let the weight of the machine do the work. Additional pressure from above increases the cut, but also generates more heat and can cause holograms on sensitive paints—precisely what Cut+Finish actually avoids. If you still see defects after one pass, a second pass with the same pressure is more effective than a single pass with excessive pressure.\n\nAfter polishing, degreasing with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e is recommended to completely remove polish residues. Under the Prepare control spray, the actual result becomes visible—without polishing oils and fillers that can optically camouflage defects. This step is particularly important if a ceramic coating or paint protection film is to be applied afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRemoving sanding marks after wet sanding — the ideal use cases for Cut+Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main application area for \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX Cut+Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e is post-processing after wet sanding with P1200 to P1500 sandpaper. In practice, you'll encounter this in several scenarios:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003espot repair post-processing\u003c\/strong\u003e in the paint shop, partial repaints and touch-ups are first wet-sanded to level the paint and reduce orange peel. Cut+Finish removes the sanding marks in one pass and brings the repaired area to the gloss level of the surrounding original paint—without the need for a second polishing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003enew car detailing\u003c\/strong\u003e, many vehicles show slight orange peel and transport scratches from the factory. Careful wet sanding with P1500 smooths the surface, and Cut+Finish restores the high gloss. Here, silicone-free is important: Should the new car require repainting within the warranty period, the silicone-free polish will not cause problems during repainting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003eclassic car detailing\u003c\/strong\u003e or restoring heavily weathered paint, Cut+Finish is often sufficient as the only polishing compound if the weathering is not too deep. On original baked enamel paints, which are often softer than modern water-based paints, Cut+Finish offers enough cut to remove the oxidized layer and enough finish to bring out the underlying gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother common scenario in practice: \u003cstrong\u003eScratch removal without prior sanding.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not every scratch requires reaching for sandpaper. Superficial scratches that are only in the clear coat and disappear when wet can be directly polished out with Cut+Finish. The abrasive performance of 5\/5 is sufficient to abrade the damaged clear coat layer enough for the scratch to disappear—and the high gloss of 5\/5 ensures that the spot doesn't appear duller than the surrounding paint afterwards. For this application, a medium-hard polishing pad is recommended instead of a hard pad to control the cut more precisely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Cut+Finish reaches its limits: For sanding marks from P1000 and coarser, it lacks the abrasive performance for complete removal in one pass. Here, CutMax (6\/4) is the better choice as a first step, followed by a finish with PerfectFinish or NP 03-06. Cut+Finish is not a substitute for a dedicated abrasive polish for heavy defect removal—it is the one-step solution for the P1200 to P1500 range, where it fully plays to its strengths. Also, on extremely hard ceramic clear coats, such as those used by some German premium manufacturers, Cut+Finish may require more passes than on softer Japanese or Korean paint systems—the abrasives break down more slowly 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 gradation that covers different requirements:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutMax (6\/4)\u003c\/strong\u003e is the pure abrasive polish—maximum cut (6\/5), moderate gloss (4\/5). It is used when coarse defects such as sanding marks from P1000, deep scratches, or heavy weathering need to be removed. After CutMax, a finishing step is almost always necessary because the gloss result alone is not sufficient.\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 is designed for the finishing step after an abrasive polish and produces the last quantum 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 achieves the cut of a medium abrasive polish and the gloss of a good finishing polish in one pass. The advantage is obvious—time saving, fewer pad changes, less polish residue. The disadvantage: If you need to reach extreme values—heaviest defect removal or absolute ultimate high gloss—you're better off with the two-step process of CutMax and PerfectFinish. For an estimated seventy percent of everyday polishing jobs in workshops and detailing, Cut+Finish is completely sufficient as the sole polishing compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to polishes from other manufacturers, Cut+Finish positions itself as the workshop-oriented solution: The silicone-free, low-dust processing, and long open time are characteristics that make a difference in daily workshop operations. Hobby detailers who only polish once a year will notice these advantages less—for them, the end result is what counts most. In a workshop that polishes ten to fifteen vehicles a week, however, these advantages add up to a noticeable increase in efficiency: less cleaning effort due to dust-free operation, no contamination risk due to silicone-free, less product waste due to controlled consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying one-step polish — container sizes and recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCut+Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in 250 ml and 1000 ml. For beginners or occasional use on your own vehicle, the 250 ml bottle is sufficient—it will polish a complete vehicle and leave some in reserve for touch-ups. For workshops and professional detailers who polish daily, the 1000 ml bottle is the more economical choice: The price per liter drops significantly, and you'll need to reorder less frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor an 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 control 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 entire process from defect correction to long-term protection—in three steps instead of five or six that a multi-step process with separate abrasive and finishing polishes would require.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith multiple vehicles per day, another advantage of Cut+Finish becomes apparent: You only need one product and one set of pads, instead of switching between abrasive and finishing polishes. This not only reduces setup time but also the risk of confusion—in a workshop where several employees are polishing, a simple one-product system is less prone to errors than a three-step process with different polishes and pad combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA practical note on storage: Cut+Finish can slightly separate during prolonged storage—the abrasives settle at the bottom. Shake the bottle thoroughly before each use until the consistency is evenly creamy. Store the product frost-free and sealed, and it will maintain its full performance throughout its shelf life. Frozen polish loses its homogeneous consistency and cannot be processed evenly even after thawing.\u003c\/p\u003e","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.

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.

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.

The problem: Not every polish is optimized for dual action movement. Many polishes that work excellently on a rotary machine only unleash a fraction of their performance on a dual action polisher because the lower heat development slows down particle breakdown. \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 04-06\u003c\/strong\u003e was specifically developed for this machine concept: its abrasive combination reliably breaks down even with the lower friction energy of a dual action machine and, with a cutting power of 4\/5 and a gloss level of 6\/5, delivers a result that is almost identical on a dual action polisher to a two-step process of compounding and finishing polish on a rotary machine.

The abrasive particles break down at a lower temperature and less pressure than with classic rotary polishes — this means you achieve full performance on the dual action machine without having to apply excessive pressure. This behavior makes the EX 04-06 particularly beginner-friendly: even without years of polishing experience, you can achieve a professional result with moderate pressure and medium speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHologram-free high gloss.\u003c\/strong\u003e A gloss level of 6\/5 — the highest rating in the SONAX system — means that the polish leaves a finish free of holograms, swirls, and polishing marks.

This is essential in body shops that polish and paint simultaneously — silicone residues on adjacent vehicles or workshop surfaces can cause craters during refinishing. Its silicone-free nature also makes the EX 04-06 the first choice for preparation before ceramic coating, where an absolutely silicone-free surface optimizes adhesion.\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 Use the EX 04-06 with a medium-hard foam pad (orange in the SONAX color system) at a speed of 4 to 5 on the dual action polisher. Apply three pea-sized dots to the pad, spread at a low speed, and then work with medium pressure in slow, overlapping passes. The key to the perfect result: slow machine guidance. Move the machine at about two to three centimeters per second over the surface — significantly slower than most beginners would intuitively do. Only then do the abrasives have enough contact time to fully remove defects and develop high gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFinish Polish for Dual Action Polishers — why the EX series 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 series, which SONAX specifically developed for dual action polishers. The technical background: A dual action machine moves the pad in a circular path with simultaneous rotation — this dual movement generates less friction energy per unit area than the pure rotational movement of a rotary machine. Polishes developed for rotation require this higher energy to fully break down their abrasives. On a dual action machine, they only partially break down — the result is coarse residual particles that leave micro-scratches and holograms instead of creating high gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EX series solves this problem through adapted particle size and binder matrix. The abrasives are smaller and break down with less energy input — perfect for dual action movement. The disadvantage: On a rotary machine, the abrasive breaks down too quickly, and the polish loses its cutting power before the defects are fully removed. The EX 04-06 is therefore not a substitute for rotary polishes like CutMax or Cut+Finish — it is their counterpart for a different class of machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, the difference is particularly noticeable on hard European clear coats, which are more difficult to work on with a dual action machine than soft Japanese paints. The EX 04-06 offers sufficient working time and cutting power on these paints to work consistently even after several polishing passes — a point that cheaper dual action polishes often fail to deliver because their formulation is exhausted after the first pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA practical aspect: Many detailers own both a dual action and a rotary machine and switch depending on the component. On large, flat surfaces such as the hood and roof, the rotary machine is more efficient; on edges, body lines, and curved areas, the dual action machine offers more safety. In this mixed workflow, the EX 04-06 is the finishing product for all dual action sections — while a polish like Cut+Finish or PerfectFinish is used for rotary sections. Those who want to work consistently with a single machine and prefer the dual action machine will find a complete system in the EX series that requires no compromise on performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Dual Action Polish Correctly — Speed, Pressure, and Machine Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of \u003cstrong\u003eEX 04-06\u003c\/strong\u003e on a dual action polisher follows a clear pattern: medium-hard to soft polishing pad, medium speed (level 4 to 5 on most machines), moderate pressure, and slow machine guidance. This combination is the key to a hologram-free result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApply three pea-sized dots of polish to the pad and spread them at the lowest speed on the component. Then increase to working speed and polish in slow, overlapping passes over the entire section. Slow here means: two to three centimeters per second. Most beginners move the machine too quickly — the pad glides over the surface without enough time to remove the defects. Slower guidance increases the contact time per unit area and fully utilizes the abrasive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressure\u003c\/strong\u003e should be moderate — just enough for the pad to lie evenly on the surface. Unlike with a rotary machine, where more pressure means more cut, a dual action machine reacts counterproductively to excessive pressure: the dual action movement is slowed down, the pad rotates slower, and cutting power decreases instead of increasing. If you notice the machine bogging down under pressure, you're applying too much — reduce the pressure 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 dots are enough for a section of about fifty by fifty centimeters — more product dilutes the abrasive effect and lengthens processing time without improving the result. If the polish is still milky-thick on the surface after polishing, you either applied too much or your machine guidance was too fast. Reduce the amount on the next section and move the machine slower — the result will improve immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding temperature: The dual action machine generates less heat than a rotary machine, but on dark paints in summer sun, the surface temperature can still be problematic. Work in a shaded environment or garage and occasionally check the temperature with the back of your hand. Ideal ambient temperatures are between fifteen and twenty-five degrees Celsius with moderate humidity to ensure optimal processing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter polishing, wipe off residues with a clean, soft microfiber towel and check the result under an LED inspection light. On dark paints, an additional check under direct sunlight is recommended — some holograms and swirls only become visible under natural light because the LED lamp has a different angle of incidence. If you are satisfied with the result, degrease with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e — only then will you see the actual result without polishing oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrecting Minor to Medium Paint Defects — Ideal Use Cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 04-06\u003c\/strong\u003e is not designed 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 a cutting power of 5\/5\u003c\/a\u003e. The strength of the EX 04-06 lies in a different area: correcting minor to medium defects in one step while creating the best possible finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common use case is \u003cstrong\u003eone-step polishing on new or near-new paint\u003c\/strong\u003e. Vehicles one to three years old typically show wash scratches, light swirls, and a general dullness of the clear coat. The EX 04-06 removes these superficial defects in one pass and leaves a high gloss that exceeds new car levels. For detailers who regularly prepare lease returns or young used cars, this is the typical application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother scenario: \u003cstrong\u003efinish after initial compounding\u003c\/strong\u003e. If the paint was first treated with a compound (such as EX 05-05 or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur\"\u003eCutMax\u003c\/a\u003e), the EX 04-06 removes remaining micro-scratches and holograms in the second step and brings the paint to a high gloss. This two-step process — compound plus finishing polish — is the gold standard in professional paint detailing and delivers the best results on demanding dark paints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EX 04-06 is also ideal for \u003cstrong\u003epreparation before a sealant or coating\u003c\/strong\u003e. Before a ceramic coating or paint protection film is applied, the paint must be in the best possible condition — any defect enclosed under the coating will remain visible for its entire lifespan. The EX 04-06 delivers precisely the surface a coating needs: defect-free, hologram-free, and free of silicone residues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA scenario often underestimated: the \u003cstrong\u003epreparation of vehicles with partial film wraps\u003c\/strong\u003e. If a vehicle has both painted and filmed sections, the polish must not get on the film — polishing residue can settle into the film texture and be difficult to remove there. The controlled working method of the dual action machine in combination with the EX 04-06 minimizes the risk of splatter and allows precise work right up to the film edge. For these situations, the dual action machine is clearly superior to the rotary machine because it throws 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\u003eIn the SONAX PROFILINE range, there are three finishing polishes to choose from, differing in cutting power and gloss:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e is the more aggressive sister: cutting power 5\/5, gloss level 5\/5. It is used when defects are too deep for the EX 04-06 — for example, sanding marks from P1500, heavier weathering, or scratches beyond typical wash scratches. The gloss level of 5\/5 is good, but not on par with the EX 04-06 — for the highest demands on the finish, 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: cutting power 3\/5, gloss level 6\/5. It is intended for paints that have few defects and only need the final gloss refinement — for example, after thorough pre-polishing or on new cars that only need minimal freshening. Its lower abrasion also makes it the safest choice on extremely thin clear coats or historic paints, where any material removal should be minimized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEX 04-06\u003c\/strong\u003e is the all-rounder between these extremes: sufficient cutting power for typical everyday defects, maximum gloss for a professional finish. For the majority of one-step polishes on a dual action machine, it is the best choice — versatile enough for daily work, powerful enough for demanding dark paints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying EX 04-06 — Container Sizes and Workflow Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 04-06\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in 250 ml and 1000 ml sizes. The 250 ml bottle is sufficient for several complete vehicle polishes — product consumption on a dual action machine is moderate because the polish works efficiently and requires few reloads. The 1000 ml bottle is the standard size for businesses and ambitious private users who polish regularly. In the value pack set, you also save compared to individual purchase — especially for detailers who use the EX 04-06 as their standard finishing polish, the stock pack quickly pays for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the optimal workflow on a dual action machine, we recommend: For minor defects, the EX 04-06 as a one-step solution on a medium-hard pad. For medium defects, first the EX 05-05 on a hard pad, then the EX 04-06 on a soft pad for the finish.

Shake the bottle thoroughly before each use until the consistency is uniformly creamy. Store the product frost-free and sealed — frozen polish loses its abrasive structure and can no longer be used uniformly and should be discarded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor beginners who have to choose between the EX 04-06 and a rotary polish, the recommendation is clear: Anyone with no experience with polishing machines should start with a dual action machine and the EX 04-06. This combination is significantly more forgiving than a rotary machine with an aggressive compound. You can learn the technique at your leisure, without fear of burning through or holograms. The result may not quite match that of an experienced polisher on a rotary machine — but it will be solid, safe, and more than sufficient for most demands.\u003c\/p\u003e","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\" Grinding Polish (Heavy-Cut)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRemoving deep scratches on the eccentric machine with SONAX EX 05-05 abrasive polish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat can SONAX EX 05-05 do?

In combination with a hybrid wool pad, this abrasive polish on an eccentric machine achieves results previously reserved for rotary machines: sanding marks up to P1500 disappear in one pass, deep scratches and etching are reliably removed, and the gloss level of 5\/5 delivers a finish that often requires no additional polishing step.

Its abrasive combination is formulated to generate enough removal even with the lower friction energy of eccentric motion to remove deep scratches and sanding marks up to P1500. In combination with the hybrid wool pad — a pad that combines foam and lamb's wool fibers — the removal performance is noticeably increased again, because the wool fibers generate additional friction that pure foam pads cannot offer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh gloss at the same time.\u003c\/strong\u003e The gloss level of 5\/5 shows that the EX 05-05 not only cuts, but also polishes.

Apply moderate pressure and move the machine across the surface at two to three centimeters per second — significantly slower than for finish polishing. The trick: Let the machine do the work and use the weight of the device as natural contact pressure. Avoid forcing the machine into the surface — this slows down the eccentric movement and reduces removal instead of increasing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbrasive polish for eccentric — how the EX 05-05 achieves rotary results on the eccentric\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key to the performance of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e lies in the coordination between abrasive and pad. The abrasive particles are dimensioned to work optimally with the specific friction energy of an eccentric machine: large enough for effective removal, small enough for controlled particle breakdown. On a rotary machine, these particles would break down too quickly and lose their cutting performance — the EX 05-05 is therefore not a universal polish, but a specialist for eccentric motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hybrid wool pad enhances this effect: the lamb's wool fibers generate additional micro-friction on the surface, which increases material removal, while the foam core controls heat.

The EX 05-05 covers the range P1500 to light P1200 marks — and in this range, it delivers a result on the eccentric machine that makes switching to a rotary machine unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor users who rarely use their eccentric machine for heavy-cut, an important note: the performance of the EX 05-05 depends heavily on the quality of the eccentric machine. Inexpensive entry-level eccentrics with low throw (8 mm) and weak motors quickly reach their limits with heavy defects. Machines with a long throw (15 to 21 mm) like the common professional models deliver significantly more friction energy and make better use of the EX 05-05's potential. If you plan to regularly perform heavy-cut work on an eccentric machine, investing in a long-throw machine is worthwhile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying EX 05-05 correctly — pad selection, speed, and working method\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e unfolds its full potential in combination with the hybrid wool pad. For less aggressive applications — for example, on new paint with only light scratches — a hard foam pad (orange) also works, delivering slightly less removal with slightly higher gloss. On a soft finishing pad, the polish loses too much cutting performance — for pure finishing polishing, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-ex-04-06-hochglanz-politur\"\u003eEX 04-06\u003c\/a\u003e is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApply three to four pea-sized dots to the pad and spread the polish at a low setting on the component. Increase to level 5 to 6 and work in slow, overlapping passes over the section. A typical section — about half a fender — takes three to four minutes on the eccentric machine. The polish should be clear and thin on the surface at the end of the pass — a sign that the abrasives have completely broken down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emachine guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e differs with the EX 05-05 from a finishing polish: For heavy-cut, you can apply slightly more pressure than for finishing polishing, but always only so much that the eccentric movement does not stop. If you notice that the machine is stalling or vibrating, immediately reduce pressure. A stalling pad creates localized heat, which can cause thermal damage on sensitive paints — recognizable as slight discoloration or dullness that cannot be fully corrected even by repolishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen working on \u003cstrong\u003eedges and raised lines\u003c\/strong\u003e, particular caution is required: the clear coat layer there is often only half as thick as on the flat surfaces. Significantly reduce pressure in these areas and prefer an additional pass with low pressure rather than a single pass with too much removal. A paint thickness gauge before polishing gives you certainty about the available leeway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the pass, wipe off the residue with a clean microfiber 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 component are not uncommon on hard European paints — on softer Japanese or Korean paints, a single pass is often sufficient. Adjust your expectations to the paint type and allow enough time instead of giving up after one pass if the result is not yet right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen degrease the polished surface 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 optically mask residual defects — with Prepare, it becomes visible whether all scratches have really disappeared or whether another pass is necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeavy-Cut on the eccentric machine — typical application scenarios\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main application area of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e is defect correction on paints that are too sensitive for rotary machines or where the user prefers the safety of an eccentric machine. In practice, this concerns several scenarios:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003edetailing dark paints\u003c\/strong\u003e (black, dark blue, dark grey), the eccentric machine is the safer choice because it generates fewer holograms than the rotary machine. The EX 05-05 provides enough removal on these demanding colors to remove scratches and swirls, and the gloss level of 5\/5 minimizes the need for post-processing. On black paint, a short finishing pass with the EX 04-06 is often useful to bring out the last bit of deep gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003evehicles with a thin clear coat layer\u003c\/strong\u003e — measured with a paint thickness gauge — the eccentric machine offers more control over material removal. The EX 05-05 removes defects efficiently, but more controlled than a rotary polish, because the eccentric movement generates less removal per unit of time. This gives you the opportunity to check progress after each pass and stop in time before the clear coat layer becomes too thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003escratch removal in hard-to-reach areas\u003c\/strong\u003e — door handle recesses, swages, transitions between components — the compact eccentric machine with a small pad (75 mm or 125 mm) is better suited than the large rotary machine. The EX 05-05 works on all common pad sizes and adapts flexibly to the component geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother scenario that professional detailers appreciate: the \u003cstrong\u003ecorrection of transport damage and car wash scratches\u003c\/strong\u003e on new vehicles. Many new cars arrive at the dealer with fine to medium scratches — caused by film removal, transport securing, or improper cleaning in the yard. The EX 05-05 removes these defects on the safe eccentric machine without endangering the thin factory paint. In combination with a final ceramic sealant, the vehicle is better protected than when delivered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbrasive polish comparison — EX 05-05 vs. CutMax vs. Cut+Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe three most important abrasive polishes in the SONAX PROFILINE range cover different machine types and requirements:\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 abrasive polish for rotary machines — maximum removal (6\/5), moderate gloss (4\/5), optimized for the high friction energy of rotation. It is the first choice for heavy defects from P1000 on rotary machines.\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 rotary machines — same abrasive value as the EX 05-05, but with simultaneous high-gloss finish. It covers the range from P1500 and combines sanding and finishing in one pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEX 05-05 (5\/5)\u003c\/strong\u003e is the counterpart to Cut+Finish for the eccentric machine: same performance values, but a formulation optimized for the kinematics of the eccentric. Whoever owns an eccentric machine and wants to do heavy defect correction uses the EX 05-05. Whoever has a rotary machine uses the Cut+Finish or CutMax. There is no universal polish that works equally well on both machine types — the physical requirements of the two types of movement are too different. That's why SONAX deliberately developed separate product lines for rotary and eccentric with the PROFILINE series, instead of offering compromise products that do not unfold their full performance on any machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying EX 05-05 — container sizes and recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX EX 05-05\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in 250 ml and 1000 ml. For occasional use in detailing your own vehicle, the 250 ml bottle is sufficient — a complete defect correction consumes between 50 and 100 ml depending on vehicle size and severity of defects. The 1000 ml bottle is the more economical option for detailing businesses and ambitious enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the optimal workflow for the eccentric machine, the EX 05-05 forms 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 results control. This two-step process on the eccentric machine delivers results that come close to a three-step process on the rotary machine — with significantly lower risk of holograms and burning through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhoever has both polishes of the EX series on the shelf — the EX 05-05 for Heavy-Cut and the EX 04-06 for finish — is equipped for all eccentric tasks. The two products complement each other perfectly: the EX 05-05 removes heavy defects, the EX 04-06 brings out the last bit of gloss. Together they replace a three-product system (cutting compound, abrasive polish, finishing polish), as is common with rotary machines — fewer products, fewer pad changes, fewer sources of error.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor economical use: the product consumption of EX 05-05 is slightly higher for heavy-cut work than for a finishing polish, because you need more passes per component. Calculate approximately 80 to 120 ml per vehicle for a complete defect correction with the eccentric machine — depending on vehicle size and severity of defects. The 250 ml bottle is therefore sufficient for two to three vehicles, the 1000 ml bottle for eight to twelve vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA tip for pad care: The hybrid wool pad should be thoroughly cleaned after each vehicle — polish residues in the wool fibers harden and reduce abrasive performance for the next use. Rinse the pad with warm water after use and let it dry completely before using it again. You can tell a worn hybrid wool pad by the fact that the wool fibers are flattened and no longer spring back — then it's time for a new pad. Invest in a fresh pad rather than an additional polishing pass: the material removal of a new pad is noticeably higher than that of a worn one, and the result is more even. Professional businesses change the hybrid wool pad after five to eight vehicles at the latest — after that, the wool structure is so compressed that the removal noticeably decreases and the efficiency of the EX 05-05 is no longer fully exploited.\u003c\/p\u003e","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\" Abrasive Polish (up to P1000)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRemove deep scratches and sanding marks with SONAX CutMax polishing compound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat can SONAX CutMax do?

With an abrasive performance of 6 on the SONAX scale, it is the most aggressive polish in the PROFILINE range — developed for situations where maximum material removal is required: deep scratches, sanding marks from P1000 sandpaper, orange peel, paint mist and heavily weathered paint surfaces. Despite this high abrasive performance, CutMax works almost dust-free thanks to Low Dust Technology and leaves a gloss level of 4\/5, which in most cases only requires a short finishing step. For paint shops and professional detailers, CutMax is the tool of choice when efficiency in defect removal is paramount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum abrasive performance for severe defects.\u003c\/strong\u003e The abrasive combination of CutMax is designed for fast, deep removal. It removes sanding marks from P1000 in a single polishing pass — an area that lighter polishes can no longer reach. Baked-on insect residues, deep scratches and weathering neglected for years are also effectively removed. This abrasive performance measurably saves time in the workshop because fewer passes are needed than with less aggressive products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Dust Technology for clean work.\u003c\/strong\u003e High abrasive performance often means a lot of polishing dust with many polishes — a problem that spreads into joints, seals and across the entire workplace, requiring extensive cleaning. CutMax solves this with its special Low Dust formulation: the polish remains on the pad and on the surface throughout the polishing process without dusting.

Start at 1000 rpm to spread the polish, and increase to 1500 to 1800 rpm for the actual sanding process. Work in overlapping passes of 50 percent and apply even, moderate pressure — the abrasives need friction, but not excessive pressure. After each pass, check with an LED lamp whether the defects are completely removed before moving on to the finishing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbrasive performance 6\/4 — how CutMax can remove severe paint defects in one pass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e achieves its high abrasive performance through a combination of specially sized abrasive particles and a formulation that maintains consistent removal throughout the polishing pass. Unlike simple abrasive polishes, whose abrasive performance significantly decreases after the first thirty seconds because the abrasives break down too quickly, CutMax maintains its cutting performance over the entire work cycle. In practice, this means that one pass of two to three minutes per section is sufficient to completely remove even deep sanding marks — instead of three or four passes that would be necessary with a weaker polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gloss level of 4\/5 shows that CutMax is not a pure sanding paste, but an abrasive polish with controlled particle breakdown. The abrasives start with high aggressiveness and break down into finer particles during the pass, which already take over part of the finish. The result is a surface that is significantly smoother and shinier than after a pure sanding paste — but not yet at the level of a dedicated finishing polish. For workshops that need to achieve a presentable result quickly after wet sanding, this intermediate state is often sufficient if concours quality is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn important difference to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-cut-finish-einstufen-politur\"\u003eSONAX Cut+Finish (5\/5)\u003c\/a\u003e: CutMax has a higher abrasive performance and is used where Cut+Finish no longer provides sufficient removal — i.e., for P1000 sanding marks, deep scratches and severe weathering. Cut+Finish is the one-step solution from P1500, CutMax is the heavy hammer for everything below. In many workshops, both products are used side by side: Cut+Finish for most everyday work, CutMax for the tough cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrect application of abrasive polish — machine, pad and technique for maximum removal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e unfolds its full potential on a rotary polishing machine. The pure rotational movement generates more friction and heat than an eccentric machine — precisely the energy that an abrasive polish of this level requires to deliver maximum removal. CutMax also works on an eccentric machine, but with significantly reduced abrasive performance: you need more passes and more time for the same result. If you regularly perform heavy defect correction, a rotary machine is the right investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003epad selection\u003c\/strong\u003e significantly influences the result. For maximum removal, a hard foam pad (white in the SONAX color system) or a lamb's wool pad is recommended. The lamb's wool pad offers the highest abrasive performance of all pad types, but also leaves the coarsest surface — ideal for the first pass on severe defects, followed by a foam pad for fine sanding. A medium-hard pad reduces abrasion and is suitable for paints that require less correction, or for sensitive areas such as edges and sills, where overly aggressive abrasion could sand through the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor application, apply three to four pea-sized dots to the pad and spread the polish over the component at low speed. Then increase to working speed and polish in passes with fifty percent overlap. Work in sections of about forty by forty centimeters — small enough to maintain control, large enough to make efficient progress. Pay attention to the sound of the machine: a steady hum indicates that the pad is working cleanly on the surface. A rattling or vibrating sound indicates too much pressure or a dirty pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the sanding pass, wipe off the polish residue with a clean microfiber cloth and check the result under an LED lamp. If the defects are completely removed, the finishing step follows. If scratches are still visible, repeat the pass — it is better to do a second controlled pass than a single one with too much pressure, which can cause holograms or heat spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common beginner's mistake when working with CutMax: too much product on the pad. An abrasive polish requires less product than a finishing polish, because the removal is done by the abrasives, not by the volume of the paste. Three to four small dots are sufficient for a section of forty by forty centimeters. Too much product dilutes the abrasive effect, prolongs the polishing pass and makes wiping difficult. In professional workshops, experienced polishers sometimes work with even less product — they compensate for the smaller amount by precise machine guidance that optimally utilizes the available abrasive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA crucial note on \u003cstrong\u003etemperature control\u003c\/strong\u003e: The rotary machine generates considerable heat when working with an abrasive polish. On dark paints, the surface temperature can rise to over 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. If it gets uncomfortably warm, let the section cool down briefly before continuing. On edges, sills and raised lines, heat development is particularly critical because the paint layer is thinner there than on flat surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrecting severe paint defects — the ideal application scenarios for CutMax\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main application area of \u003cstrong\u003eCutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e is defect correction after wet sanding with grits from P1000 to P1200. In paint shops, this is the most common application: After a blending or spot repair, the transition between new and old paint is wet sanded, and CutMax then removes the sanding marks in one pass. The silicone-free nature of the polish is crucial here — in a workshop environment where painting is done daily, there must be no risk of silicone contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen \u003cstrong\u003edetailing heavily neglected vehicles\u003c\/strong\u003e, CutMax also shows its strength. Paints that have been exposed to sun, bird droppings, tree sap and industrial dust for years form an oxidized layer that cannot be penetrated with light polishes. CutMax efficiently removes this layer and exposes the undamaged paint underneath. The result is often astonishing: colors that appeared dull and faded show the full depth and brilliance of the original paint again after correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCutMax is also used in \u003cstrong\u003enew car detailing\u003c\/strong\u003e if the factory paint shows severe orange peel. Wet sanding with P1000 evens out the surface, and CutMax restores the gloss. This intervention requires experience because the clear coat layer on new vehicles is often thinner than on older paint systems — a layer thickness measurement before sanding is mandatory to avoid breaking through the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003epartial wrapping with PPF\u003c\/strong\u003e on front sections, CutMax is sometimes used indirectly: The paint under the film is polished before wrapping to remove any defects that would be visible under the transparent film. CutMax quickly and effectively removes scratches and swirls, and the subsequent finishing polish leaves a perfectly smooth surface for film application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere CutMax reaches its limits: For scratches that extend into the base coat or primer, no polish will help — repainting the affected area is necessary here. CutMax also cannot replace clear coat that has already peeled off extensively. In such cases, it is better to honestly explain the limitations of the polish to the customer than to promise a result that cannot be achieved. Honest communication strengthens customer trust much more in the long run than a cosmetic compromise that becomes visible again after a few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbrasive polish comparison — CutMax vs. UltimateCut vs. EX 05-05\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the SONAX PROFILINE range, there are three products that are suitable 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 abrasive performance in the entire range — even higher than CutMax. It is reserved for the most extreme cases: severe weathering, sanding marks from P800, massive orange peel. The gloss level of 3\/5 shows that a finishing step is definitely necessary after UltimateCut — often even a two-step finish. UltimateCut is a tool for specialists, not for everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEX 05-05 (5\/5)\u003c\/strong\u003e is on the other side of the spectrum: same abrasive performance and same gloss as Cut+Finish, but with a different formulation that works better on certain paint systems.

For the majority of heavy defect correction work — wet sanding from P1000, deep scratches, severe weathering — CutMax is the optimal choice because it handles defect removal in one step and keeps the subsequent finishing step short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying CutMax — container sizes and workflow recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in 250 ml, 1000 ml and 5 liter sizes.

The concentrated formulation means that you only need three to four dabs per section — a 250 ml bottle is sufficient for several complete vehicle corrections. In terms of results per euro invested, CutMax is therefore more economical than cheaper alternatives that require double or triple product use and still need more passes.\u003c\/p\u003e","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.

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. For car washes and quick detailing services with limited time, the one-step formula is economically attractive.

For stubborn wiper marks, use a polishing machine with a sponge pad — hand polishing is sufficient for light stains and water spots, for deeper scratches, machine assistance is recommended. After polishing, rinse the area with clear water and buff with a clean microfiber cloth — the result will be immediately visible in the window clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCerium oxide technology: How glass polish regenerates glass surfaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCerium oxide (cerium dioxide, CeO₂) is a rare earth metal oxide that has been used for decades in glass optics and glass processing as an abrasive and polishing agent for precision glass. Its particular suitability for glass applications is based on a chemical-mechanical double action: On the one hand, cerium oxide has a specific hardness (Mohs scale ~6), which is ideal for glass (Mohs ~5–6) — hard enough for abrasion, but not so hard that new deep scratches are created. On the other hand, cerium oxide reacts chemically with the silicon dioxide of the glass surface and forms temporary cerium silicate compounds during polishing, which enhances the polishing effect at a molecular level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dual action explains why cerium oxide polishes treat glass surfaces significantly more effectively than purely mechanical abrasives: The chemical activity dissolves the silicon dioxide surface of the glass at a microscopic level, which, together with mechanical abrasion, creates a \"reflow\" effect — tiny scratches are not only sanded down, but the glass matrix flows slightly and fills the finest cracks. This is why scratches appear to disappear after cerium oxide polishing, when in fact they have only been \"rounded off\" or filled in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE GlassPolish\u003c\/strong\u003e utilizes this principle in a formulation optimized for automotive applications: The cerium oxide particles are suspended in a suitable carrier liquid, which ensures even distribution and sufficient lubrication. This prevents excessive friction heat during polishing and protects the window from uneven abrasion. At the same time, the formula is designed to be rinsed off without residue after polishing — no whitish cerium oxide film remains on the window that could impair optical clarity after treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying glass polish correctly — from pre-treatment to results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of glass polish follows a clear workflow, divided into preparation, polishing, and post-treatment. Preparation is particularly important for glass polishing: any dirt particle on the window that gets between the applicator and the glass during polishing will create new scratches — an error that produces the exact opposite of the desired result. Wash the window thoroughly with glass cleaner, rinse with clear water, and dry with a clean microfiber cloth. Mask off edge seals and painted surfaces around the window with painter's tape — cerium oxide on paint leaves streaks that are difficult to remove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolishing by hand: Apply GlassPolish to a sponge or applicator cloth, apply to the damp window surface, and work in with circular movements. Use moderate pressure, even movements — do not allow to dry, re-moisten with a damp cloth or a little water if necessary. Visible sign of effectiveness: The abrasive film becomes clearer during work and runs less — this shows that the cerium oxide particles are working on the surface. After 3–5 minutes of polishing, remove the product with a damp microfiber cloth and check the result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine polishing: For more stubborn wiper marks or deeper scratches, a polishing machine with a sponge pad is recommended. Use low speed (level 2–3), light pressure — glass is more sensitive than paint and reacts faster to excessive friction heat. Work in sections (max. 30×30 cm), not too long in one spot. After each abrasion sequence, check the result in the light — look through the window against the light to detect remaining scratches and streaks. Depending on the intensity of the scratch depth, a second application may be necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlass polish application areas — typical glass problems and their solutions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE GlassPolish\u003c\/strong\u003e solves a range of typical glass problems that occur in vehicles during daily operation. Wiper marks are the most common application: windshield wipers carrying sand particles create fine scratch marks in the windshield glass — recognizable as light scattering in rain and glare. These scratches are usually very fine and respond well to one or two applications of the cerium oxide polish. Important: After glass polishing, check the wiper rubber for damage and replace it if necessary, as old wiper rubbers can lead to new wiper marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStubborn water spots and limescale deposits on windows are the second most common application area.

Purely chemical approaches (such as SONAX PROFILINE Waterspot Remover) are ideal for mineral deposits and light limescale spots, without mechanically abrading the glass surface — this method is fast and risk-free, but does not work against mechanical scratches. GlassPolish as a chemical-mechanical product is the right choice when, in addition to stains, there are also scratches or streaks that require mechanical treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to wet sanding paper (e.g., P2000 or P3000 wet polish for glass), GlassPolish has a clear advantage: The cerium oxide formula is less aggressive and allows for a finer surface after treatment, which does not require subsequent fine polishing. Wet sanding paper removes deeper scratches more efficiently, but leaves sanding marks that must then be compensated with a cerium oxide polish. For typical vehicle window problems (wiper marks, limescale spots, light oxidation), GlassPolish is the most direct and gentle solution — without the need for a multi-stage sanding process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a final step after glass polishing, a glass sealant is recommended to protect the polished surface and create water repellency through the lotus effect — the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-glass-scheibenversiegelung\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating \"CC\" Glass\u003c\/a\u003e offers long-term protection here, which simultaneously improves wiper performance and visibility in rain through its hydrophobic properties, and significantly reduces water spots in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy SONAX PROFILINE GlassPolish — container sizes and use in professional workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE GlassPolish\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in 250 ml (single bottle) and as a 2x 250 ml set. The 250 ml bottle is sufficient for many glass polishing applications when used correctly — cerium oxide polishes are used in comparatively small quantities, as too much product on the window creates more work when removing it without improving the polishing effect. For reconditioning businesses that regularly offer glass reconditioning services, the 2-pack set is the more economical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glass polish is also suitable for use on glass headlight lenses (not for plastic headlights — use the specific \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-headlightpolish-scheinwerferpolitur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE HeadlightPolish\u003c\/a\u003e here).

The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE HeadlightPolish\u003c\/strong\u003e is the professional headlight polish for the mechanical reconditioning of these headlight surfaces: abrasive enough to remove yellowing and oxidation, but fine enough to leave a clear, scratch-free surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemoves yellowing and UV oxidation from polycarbonate surfaces.\u003c\/strong\u003e Polycarbonate, the material of modern vehicle headlights, is lightweight and impact-resistant but sensitive to UV radiation: Without an intact UV protective layer, the surface oxidizes into a yellowish, cloudy, matte layer that scatters light instead of letting it pass through.

After polishing, it is essential to apply a UV protective sealant — without protection, the headlights will yellow again within 6–18 months.

Chemically speaking, the oxidation layer on yellowed headlights is a photodegradation layer — UV radiation breaks the polymer chain bonds of the polycarbonate, leading to the formation of carbonyl groups that cause the yellow discoloration. This layer sits on the uppermost micrometers of the polycarbonate and can be removed by abrasion without affecting the material underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe abrasive particles in HeadlightPolish are optimized for polycarbonate surfaces: Polycarbonate is significantly softer than hardened glass or car paint and reacts more quickly to abrasion. Too coarse particles would create deep sanding marks in the transparent material, which would impair light transmission as much as the original yellowing. The HeadlightPolish uses finely ground abrasive particles that remove the layer in a controlled manner, leaving a polished, clear surface. The result depends on the degree of yellowing and oxidation: Lightly yellowed headlights become completely clear after a single polishing, while heavily yellowed or deeply eroded headlights require several passes or prior wet sanding treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn important aspect of headlight reconditioning is understanding the layer structure: New headlights have a factory-applied UV protective layer (hardcoating) that shields the polycarbonate from UV radiation. Over time, this protective layer degrades, and the unprotected polycarbonate begins to oxidize. The HeadlightPolish removes the oxidation layer, but not the problem: The freshly polished polycarbonate has no UV protection after polishing and will yellow again without a new protective layer. Therefore, the combination of HeadlightPolish (polish) and a UV-resistant sealant is the complete reconditioning concept for permanently clear headlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transparency and light transmission of a freshly reconditioned headlight can make a difference in TÜV (technical inspection) relevance: Headlights that have lost more than 50% of their light transmission due to extreme yellowing can be classified as defective during main inspections. Professional headlight reconditioning not only restores the appearance but also has practical relevance for vehicle safety and approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying HeadlightPolish Correctly — Manual Polishing and Machine Processing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplying the headlight polish begins with preparation: thoroughly wash and dry the headlight to remove sand grains and coarse dirt particles that would cause scratches during polishing. Mask off adjacent painted surfaces with painter's tape, as HeadlightPolish will create abrasion on clear coat that would be difficult to remove later. Check the headlight for scratches and crack depth: Superficial scratches will be removed by polishing; deep cracks or internal headlight damage cannot be remedied by polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual application: Apply HeadlightPolish to an applicator or a soft microfiber cloth. Use even circular motions with medium pressure over the entire headlight surface — exposure time is less relevant here than the mechanical effect of pressure and movement. With manual application, multiple passes are necessary to achieve the same result as with a machine pass. The manual method is particularly suitable for smaller headlights or for partial contamination (individual spots or local oxidation foci) where machine processing is less precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine processing: Use a small pad (65–80 mm) on a random orbital or rotary polishing machine (speed 3–4) with even, light pressure over the headlight surface. The curved geometry of most headlights requires a flexible pad that can adapt to the shape, and controlled pad guidance to avoid pressure differences at the edges. After machine processing, polish with a clean microfiber cloth and check the result for remaining sanding marks or cloudiness in oblique light. If necessary, perform a second polishing pass, especially for heavily yellowed headlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of Application for HeadlightPolish — When Headlight Reconditioning Makes Sense\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional headlight reconditioning with \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE HeadlightPolish\u003c\/strong\u003e is worthwhile in various situations. The most common use case is the visual enhancement of vehicles aged 5 years or older, which have lost their appeal due to UV-induced yellowing. In the used car trade, headlight reconditioning is one of the most cost-effective value-enhancing measures: Professional headlight reconditioning takes 20–30 minutes per vehicle, requires little material, and significantly improves the vehicle's appearance — an effort that quickly pays off in the selling price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of a complete vehicle detailing, headlight reconditioning is a sign of quality: A vehicle with clear, freshly reconditioned headlights alongside high-gloss polished paint surfaces conveys overall coherence and craftsmanship. Many customers appreciate it when a detailing business also pays attention to this detail, and take it as an indicator of the quality of the entire work. Offering headlight reconditioning as an additional service is therefore a recommended addition to the service portfolio for detailers and reconditioning businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fleet vehicles and commercial vehicles, headlight reconditioning is relevant for safety reasons: Van fleets that drive frequently at night or in poor visibility conditions benefit from maximum headlight brightness. Regular headlight maintenance as part of the fleet care concept extends the service life of the headlights and delays the point at which a costly headlight replacement investment becomes necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeadlightPolish in the Product System — Polish, Sealant, and Reconditioning Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the SONAX PROFILINE headlight care range, several products complement each other to form a complete reconditioning concept.
