SONAX Profiline Perfect Finish One Step Compound/Polish Test And Review!!!

[@apexdetail85]

Sonax has a ton of great products....what have you tried from them?

[@MikeGDetailing]

Cutmax and EX 04-06 are great. I have used Perfect Finish with a Rupes 15 MKII and don't get me wrong it is a nice polish to work with but it dusts for me unlike EX 04-06. Polymer Net Shield is nice as is their CC36 ceramic coating which met the 1 year claim on my personal daily driver. Also forgot Brilliant Shine Detailer.

[@karenkhachatryan7792]

cut max do very good job, but on bmw hard paint no work, wich your compound on hardest and old paint?

[@bbdetailing9123]

I tried quite a bit of their line. Did so while filming Competiton Ready and working on Adam Carolla's Lambos. Everything I tried worked great. Sonax was a sponsor, and I'm glad. Great products. CutMax is a nice compound.

[@TKsw191145]

[@abelcelestinjr8810]

The first iron remover I’ve used came from SONAX fallout for bounded contaminants, thanks for the reviews keep them coming

[@RB54DaBears]

Just wanted to take the time and thank you for all you do Brian!! We are all truly blessed for your time and effort day after day. Don't change a thing brother!!

[@Lierbal]

Agreed! Brian is the man! :)

[@apexdetail85]

The kind words are appreciated and never taken for granted! Much more to come!

[@PeteyMcSavage]

Honestly your video are the best available because you demonstrate so well where most other just talk you actually get in their and perform the job you help me quite a bit I have a pretty good like side business now because of this channel. It was always a hobby now I get to make a few bucks doing a hobby

[@BradRussell3841]

I really appreciate how honest the review is. What it does do and what it doesn't. No miracle expectations. Very helpful.

[@OldSchoolNoe]

That Jaguar logo transition though, bet you guys were proud of that one.

[@therealmatthewsmith]

OldSchoolNoe I loved that transition!

[@AllenMaestas]

I've used SPF and how much it cuts is dependant on how fast the compound breaks down. So it's not only pad dependant, but speed dependant as well. I've slowed my speeds down during the compound phase and it seems to work much longer, then speed it up a bit for polish. Like you said Brian, it's not perfect, and I really don't believe a one step will ever be perfect, but for those vehicles with minor blemishes, it's a great product which can save a detailer a lot of time and the customer a lot of money.

[@apexdetail85]

Allen Maestas agree... great post👍🏻

[@r.k862]

how long time does it take for sonax perfect finish aio to finish 1 car sedan 1 step correction?

[@Jeff_Seely]

Two things today put a smile on my face: seeing the LHR15 and seeing my favorite polish. And you put them both is this great product showcase. You have very good taste Scott! Sonax Perfect Finish is just that. Darn near perfect!

[@Lierbal]

I already had Perfect Finish in my cart, but I was hesitant about it. I'll keep it in there and try it out along with CutMax. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@apexdetail85]

Deraj you will love it... it can fit in your process anywhere really.

[@c6z061]

Started using Perfect Finish few months ago and love it!!!

[@apexdetail85]

Same here Mark👍🏻

[@c6z061]

Cutmax is great, too. Just picked up Sonax Cut & Finish, excited to try that.

[@ronaldharrison2427]

Love the videos at Apex i am new to polishg i have a black car that needs to be corrected. I learn so much very different from other channels. Many Thanks

[@BRunkel07]

Thanks for the video! Would be curious to see the perfect finish versus m205 when trying to use as a one-step correction

[@felixf5211]

Thinking about it, the rotary is my favorite buffer. There's just something about the machine that's fun to use.

[@apexdetail85]

Its sheer power... I agree👍🏻

[@groundcontrol6876]

I’ve been waiting for this!!!

[@apexdetail85]

Andres Rivera 😁👍🏻

[@mikeyp2447]

I really enjoy the Sonax polishes... thanks to you.

[@apexdetail85]

Mikey P 😁👍🏻

[@richardseem7948]

thought it would cut a little better. guess the trick is using or choosing right pad.another great video

[@apexdetail85]

Richard Seem exactly!

[@mikeyp2447]

Btw....The two videos before you were two dopes just sitting there point and flapping their gums about this and that. Thank you so much for getting off your ass and showing us what these products can do. You deserve triple the views and subs my friend. 😊

[@HerbOldenburg]

First I would like to say Thank-you for all your series. Really great to watch you break down each of the products and carefully test them with a real solid process. You take your time and keep a consistent process to test all these products and give an unbiased review. Do you keep a database (spreadsheet) on all these tests similar to the white board you use to evaluate? It would be interesting to look at this. Regarding the current video I am ordering some Sonax to test on one of my cars. Thank you again!

[@csiautodetail]

Great Video Brian! I love and used the Sonax Perfect finish very often.

[@apexdetail85]

CSI AUTO DETAIL 😁👍🏻

[@CoffeeNo0b0514]

This is a great product for paint enhancement/swirl removal on new vehicles.

[@PeteyMcSavage]

A lot of people love that and hype it. It looks like a great finish glad you did real world test. It just seem very high amount of money to use on a daily. I like sonax products a ton I will probably still end up buying it down the road. I have a bottle of the nano profiline 3/6 polish I wonder has anyone used both.

[@apexdetail85]

Pricey....yes. But the results are worth the price.

[@rogerbaron9514]

Great video. BTW....I bought and tried Black Pearl on my tires and absolutely love the product thanks to your review and recommendation of the product. It's been on the tires for 3 months and still looks close in appearance to the day it was first applied. The product isn't cheap but worth it due to the great appearance it provides and unbelievable durability that saves time and a lot of work to maintain tires. Thanks. Love and watch all your videos.

[@apexdetail85]

Bp is pricey and a bit more work to apply....but the results are amazing!

[@rogerbaron9514]

In the long run, thanks to it's great durability , it saves you work maintaining the tires. Thanks again and keep up the reviews.

[@Audittr2108]

Great test as always. I used PF this year for my yearly enhancement on my two cars. Only needed a one step and the PF worked extremely well with. It’s a great dedicated finish polish too. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

[@apexdetail85]

I agree...pricey, but worth it when you see the results.

[@riteshnowbut1898]

Hi Brian great video, would you say on a regular basis you prefer the 15mm over the 21mm for everyday paint correction?

[@taterd01]

I've been using 3D 505 one step and i love it.. i guess it's a better version of HD SPEED.. I've seen a lot of people on you tube using GRIOTS Finishing Sealant for their all in one. Maybe a battle between those 2.. thanks again

[@apexdetail85]

On the list.👍

[@mirabalmedia]

•Menzerna 400 removes 2,000 grit sanding marks using a heavy cut foam pad & 1,500 grit sanding marks using a wool pad. •Menzerna 2400 removes 2,500 grit sanding marks with heavy cut foam pad. Maybe try to compare it to one of them. Menzerna 400 or 2400. Or maybe even Menzerna 2200. Again, I used Sonax, Menzerna & just started testing Jescar product. But I definitely like CutMax.

[@apexdetail85]

MirabalMedia 😁👍🏻

[@andrewbatres5918]

I started using perfect finish earlier this year and I was blown away, great results! It's my favorite polish to use as a final pass before applying protection. What's one of your favorite polishes to use? ..after you do a heavy cut and right before protection products.

[@freepomeroon]

Hi I am new to this what pan did you use with the sonax perfect finish. ?

[@SeanTheDetailGuy]

I like how it took out the swirl marks. Great review as always thank you for you being you

[@apexdetail85]

Versatile indeed!

[@poman8772]

Cut Max and Perfect Finish my two go to product's ! Thanks Brian

[@apexdetail85]

Totally agree!

[@MrJuandiego1988]

What kind of pads do you use?

[@poman8772]

@@MrJuandiego1988 I use much like Brian suggests the right pad for the job and always go the least aggressive route to insure the least amount of clear coat removal. As far as brands I like the Buff n Shine Uro pads ( again much like Brian) and Like the general durability of that brand. Hope this helps.

[@Punch434]

Great video Brian thanks for taking your time to share your knowledge

[@pooneyheat]

Perfect finish teamed with a Rupes yellow pad get great results

[@apexdetail85]

G C 😁👍🏻

[@stephencarbonaro5462]

I've been wondering how to use this product. I've seen it follow cutmax and had many tell me to use their other polish after cutmax. Ex 04-06 I think it's called. Anyway, nice creative touches in this video 👍

[@apexdetail85]

No limits here... use it however you please😁👍🏻

[@jimdavis5u]

Woahhh clever transition at 13:08

[@royromero8496]

thanks again for a great test you're top tier in my opinion keep up the good work!

[@apexdetail85]

Much appreciated...thanks! More content to follow... stay tuned Roy!😁

[@davidwilfong7262]

Where does Perfect Finish stack up against The Last Cut? I was thinking TLC with the Uro MF then PF with a white foam polishing pad. But I’m thinking I need more info on TLCs level of cut..

[@taterd01]

I would like to see you test GRIOTS Fast Correcting Cream and 3D ACA 500 compound.. it's 3Ds newest compound.. thank you for your time and hard work. I love your videos..

[@apexdetail85]

Absolutely...I have a few vids featuring the BOSS Fast Correcting Cream.

[@winchwhip]

I'm starting out for the first time correcting my 2018 Black Sapphire BMW, hard clear coat I believe. I have a Griots G9. As a one step should I go with Perfect Finish or 3D ONE. I was thinking of getting lake country orange SDO foam pads. Thanks for all your great videos..

[@bobwilson3435]

Hi Brian this Bob Wilson have questions to ask you how often do you have to cray your car paint& how often do you have to do iron x on your car paint?

[@J1Z06]

Brian, 2021 Subaru Forester Sport. Deep Blue Pearl. Soft paint? It’s kind of hammered. It now belongs to My Sister. I know I’ll have to try a few products and pads. Certainly not looking for perfection. Thank You in advance.

[@wilsongautama1688]

both cut and finish or perfect finish are great product, long playtime, easy wipe, almost zero dusting, excellent cut and finish. but they easily make the pads saturated, when the pads were saturated will have dusting problems. like sticky dots cake, very hard to wipe. solution: just take a little dots and work with small area. always clean ur pads after 1-2panels finished. thank me later 😆

[@bigdfig6083]

Can confirm. Keep those pads clean or have plenty clean pads at the ready.

[@loopsandthreads5028]

Great review!! Thanks for taking the time!!

[@apexdetail85]

Loops And Threads 😁👍🏻

[@roadstar499]

this seems like the best fine polish available...can you tell me what product you would use on the jag in the first step if you wanted panel close to perfect? thanks

I was waiting for this!👍

[@apexdetail85]

James Biedlar 😁👍🏻

[@mcubau]

Hello there! How many pads do you recommend using for polishing one medium SUV. I've heard some say use 3 or 4 to make sure the pad is always "fresh". Thank you very much for all your videos!

[@vrodxvrodx]

Brian, I think it needs less passes than others but only on light swirl and scratches. Not for the heavy stuff.

[@apexdetail85]

vrodx completely agree👍🏻

[@kevinspiteri9590]

Hi Brian great video, does Sonax PF contain any fillers? Do want to you this then apply ceramic coating as fillers may degrade over time thanks

[@jayzayas3425]

Just noticed u have merch I’m buying!

[@FogmasterLeghorn]

Hi Brian: thanks kindly for that test/review. Would you think that this one-step could easily remove hard water marks or would you recommend a 2 step cut + polish? My car has a soft clear coat with a roof that has hard water marks and a trunk that has some swirling to it. I have a adams swirl killer mini polisher with a 4" finishing pad.

[@DaddyoftheMack]

I'm a fan of Sonax 04-06EX, basically a discounted Perfect Finish.

[@apexdetail85]

chris very similar 👍🏻

[@c6z061]

Perfect Finish uses more refined abrasives for sure, hence, why it's more expensive. 04-06 is designed for a DA, while PF was designed with a rotary in mind, so I wonder if 04-06 would give better results with a DA? On the flipside, many use Perfect Finish with a DA as well.

[@apexdetail85]

They both work fine with a DA... I will feature 04 06 soon.

[@daves.3278]

Great polish i have it in my arsenal! I used to have the same jag and color aswell back in high school man I miss that pile of junk haha! Idk why I drive much better cars now. But for some reason I do miss it

[@apexdetail85]

David Saucedo because is is so comfortable 😂😂 I could easily nap in it!

[@daves.3278]

Apex Detail forsure! I would be falling asleep in long trips haha

[@masterspin7796]

Brian...Chemical guys "mirror finish"...I bought this a while back but I dont see very many reviews...you like?

[@ricardogonzalez2260]

Love your videos ! . My plan is a 50/50 uro with perfect finish as my 1st step and my 2nd step Angel wax perfect polish to really shine and joule the clear. I’m just not sure what pad to use with the angel wax .. will the boss black finishing pad achieve this or would suggest something else ?

[@zeidalrubaiy5991]

please compare Sonax vs Koch Chemie greetings from Sweden

[@doctorj1969]

Actual pad speed would be nice instead of "half speed" which can be different.

[@Rocheman79]

i love perfect finish its a great product. the only problem with it is in canada is $65 for 250ml but its worth its weight in gold

[@apexdetail85]

OUCH!!💰

[@Rocheman79]

Apex Detail ouch is right. It’s hard to take advantage of that health care when everything here is way more expensive. Anyways thanks for the vid

[@abic1965]

Christian Roche Sonax Perfect Finish is $29.99 CDN for 250 ml at Carzilla.ca

[@Rocheman79]

Dan ya you are right seems like it’s come down a lot in price since I bought some a few years ago

[@masoodanwar3306]

hey Brian, thanks for a amazing video, and demo. I've been looking into this product for a while. I was wondering how is this different form the SONAX EX 4-6?... on autogeek they said its the same but EX is specifically for DA polisher. and its cheaper than the perfect finish. can i also use that with uro-fiber for onestep?

[@apexdetail85]

Absolutely....EX is an all around one step....another great Sonax product.

[@masoodanwar3306]

thank you for your time and knowledge Brian.

[@Dsaubt]

I want that maxshine 15mm polisher - looks nice for the money

[@apexdetail85]

It has performed flawlessly...so far.👍

[@markevanado9463]

Sonax Perfect finish vs cg vss, which one did better?

[@garycarr6584]

im sure your good at what you do.. but for new people seeing a bottel of product bouncing around on the pannel may portray a bad method of controling your products ... i never put bottels on a painted surface..

[@burnoutclips]

cool video

[@johngaytes-ex7nt]

can I used as a sealer after the polish?

[@supercharged00gtp]

Most people will be super happy with the outcome on the Jag, massive improvement. I just got a couple of the uro 50/50 pads and one of their all black MF pads. Looking forward to trying them out. Have you tried CarPro Clear Cut with the 50/50 Pad?

[@apexdetail85]

Yes!! on certain situations....great combo. The pads are great...but not ideal on ALL Scenarios.

[@SerranoPE]

Great video sir!! A question - so the scratches left over by Perfect Finish, would you then compound those out with say a CutMax? Trying my hand at detailing my wife's car and wanted to get a product to handle swirls, scratches, and water marks. Was going to go with Perfect Finish and CutMax...your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks for the informative videos!!

[@parkervankley4706]

Perfect Finish is a great one step polish if paired with the correct pad. If there are scratches left after using PF, hit it with a compound such as cutmax with a cutting pad, then go over it again with PF and a finishing pad to get rid of marring/haze left over from the compound.

[@Jan-zm2yv]

What are the recommended RPMs while compounding( step 1 ) and while polishing ( step 2 ) ?

[@polperropilot]

Great video Brian. As a first time DA user I would like to try the Sonax Perfect Finish. I have very light swirl marks. Could you recommend a foam pad that would be difficult for a beginner to go in too hard with. Eg one of the Hexlogics or Lake type. Thank you

[@davidsteckley8846]

Same procedure compared to 3D One?

[@shinefactoryburnside2821]

Brian you need to try the Angelwax AIO when it comes out !!

[@apexdetail85]

I have it...video in works.

[@chrisspearline767]

Why do you need to sand plastic before polishing it?

[@yvesdytail7896]

Great durable fillers in Perfect Finish...

[@NikosPer]

is that confirmed?

[@billbuss7542]

What pad do you recommend with Perfect Finish?

[@geerhed1109]

I am new to using today's pads and compounds. I notice you use the 3" foam pad and the 5" looped fabric pad. How do I determine which is best for the application. I have 3 grades of foam from Griots Garage.

[@Captain-Donut]

Nice Brian, Love from uk

[@apexdetail85]

Mark Jones 😁👍🏻

[@richardlizares8824]

Can I use Sonax Perfect finish by hand to remove light swirl marks?

[@r.k862]

Have you done it? Any updates?

[@craigmaverick]

What do I use after perfect finish? Another polish? Wax?

[@kimnewling5728]

Good one

[@iamthesoccerbeast]

For a one step would Sonax perfect finish or 3D one hybrid be better. And would it be better with a orange cut pad or white polish bed from hex logic

[@nikosbn7079]

Can i use the sonax profiline 03 06 with my hand and a sponge to polish my car?

[@C_Grosso]

What's the best way to tell if you have soft or hard clear ? I have a 2015 black BMW X5 with swirls and scratches I'm going to be using a maxshine m15 pro what pad do you think I should pair with the sonax to get the most out thanks .

[@zafarveqar6642]

Nice video 👍

[@Giannis6000]

I have to types of Polish Pads Medium and Soft. Which one of this for one step polish is better?

[@maxfriedenberger8043]

Brian nice video...........

[@billbuss7542]

What kind of results can I expect using this by hand?

[@r.k862]

Have you done it? Any updates?

[@andrewmthembu584]

I need this polish where can I get them

[@benbirch2393]

Would this work by hand or not?

[@Justin-hz8bh]

So how long do you run the polisher with this stuff? I dont want to buff too long and risk hurting the paint.

[@kcmanuel]

New to Polishing, so please excuse my ignorance, but going with 50/50 Uro-Fiber and Sonax for a 1 step. What speed/opm/rpm should I set the DA at?

[@bfielder9097]

This is the video I have been waiting for personally. As someone who is just a weekend warrior type and mostly only takes care of my own personal vehicle this should work beautifully for me. Car is well maintained and currently has only very minor scratches and swirls. Used Menzerna 3500 back in early March. Did a good job, but the Perfect Finish should obviously give more cut and really enhance my paint while doing a bit more correction.

[@apexdetail85]

This...and Angelwax Perfect Polish is right up your alley.👍

[@bfielder9097]

Good to know. I've been wanting to give Angelwax products a try but they're pretty pricey. That being said the perfect polish isn't too expensive at all. I assume the Sonax Perfect Finish has more cut than the Angelwax Perfect Polish?

[@joeydny5816]

Quick question, can i use it with a yellow rupes then go over with a white rupes?

[@ashtonmurch2142]

What speed setting are you using for most 1-steps with the microfiber pad?

[@nikosbn7079]

Dude can i do it with this sonax and the hand? What i have to use?

[@rickb6726]

So i'm curious, for light to medium swirl marks what are you using? Need to work on my AMG

[@puffy514]

Hey Brian! Which would you recommended? The Sonax Perfect Finish? Or the 3M Perfect It?

[@behindthen0thing]

Honey max 45.7 ultimate glass finishing paint compolish

[@MkwShadowFTW]

Do you wax it after using the Sonax polish?

[@charlieemig]

Can this be used on solid surface counter tops?

[@vegascane3502]

I use this as my 1 step on my 911.

[@stevenbewick592]

Hello there, I your review you mention both rotary and da are adaptable for the sonax pf, on the rotary test did you notice any more/less buffer trails compared to the da test, and was there any time gains or loses? Tia.

[@apexdetail85]

More buff trails only due to the pad I chose. you can adjust that aspect. Cuts way down on time.

[@itsathejoey]

Think I'm going to switch over to Sonax for compund and polishing.

[@apexdetail85]

I use Sonax on a high % of my corrections.👍

[@davidestrada7514]

Would you rather tje perfect finish or menzerna 3800??

[@robertokroonsaare6935]

Well perfect finish is a one step? 3800 is insanely cut free to finish on soft paint

[@genysmenrunner1677]

Do you like that maxshine polisher? Have you tried shurhold 3500?

[@apexdetail85]

Sure do...does not skip a beat! a workhorse. I will cover the shurhold👍

[@Bull1the1Great]

This or 3D One?

[@tanapatv9387]

what's about Sonax EX 04-06. Is it worth paying extra bucks to get perfect finish or 04-06 is suffice??

[@apexdetail85]

They are very similar. I find Cut Max and this is all I need.

[@VJTrey1]

Hi I don't have access to electricity as I'm living in apartment in 3rd floor. I'm planning to get a maguires da polishing power system tool and attached it to my dewalt cordless drill max rpm I believe is 1600. Maguires have red pad (cutting) yellow pad (polishing). Do you think it will get the job done with this? And which pad shoul I use? Planning to do one step correction. Thank you

[@apexdetail85]

What size backing plate does the Power System have?

[@VJTrey1]

Apex Detail 3.5" pad is 4"

[@apexdetail85]

That system should work fine for a paint enhancement 👍🏻

[@VJTrey1]

Apex Detail should I use the cutting pad or polishing pad for 1 step correction? Thanks
