So, I've got here on my hands the So talked Sonax Perfect Finish.
got a 400g bottle, and label says (I'll use UPPERCASE on directions I need instructions):
__
I'm a 'follow the instructions guy' at least when first using a 'new' (for me) product.

1 - SAND down with P2000 abrasive paper, then wipe clean.
2 - Apply polish onto EACH sanded area. Polish on for 10 SECONDS at LOW rotational speed with a Polishing Sponge Orange, TILTING the Machine Slightly
3 - Exerting NO pressure, finish polish for 20 seconds, holding the sponge LEVEL.
4 - Wipe over with a Microfibre Cloth.

Sure I'm not the 'blindly follow the instructions' guy...
See what I understand from that:
1 - Moderate swirls and scratches (or sand down to 2000, why not?)
2 - ~Cutting/polishing pad, Spread product over area, tilt polisher, slow speed, maybe some pressure here for 10 seconds
3 - Flat the pad and finish down area for 20 seconds with pad flat
4 - Dispense comments (lol)

Reading the instructions, I can only imagine this product is intended for spot repairing, and not exactly for polishing an entire vehicle to a swirl free finish like we do many times?
Sure it can be used, but how to deal with the tilting and flattening using a DA (in my case, 3401)? Would you tilt?
Some may say a vehicle is the 'summation of spots', but please, let's skip philosophical questions here...
I'd assume I know some tilting techniques but I use that mostly for, Spots.
How are you guys using this polish, and how that 'filler' capacity rumors stands nowadays?
If you where to coat a vehicle, PF for 1-step correction, Surface Cleansing Polish and Coating (PBL in this case) maybe a good sequence of events?
I'm looking forward for an opportunity to use it, and when it comes, I want to be backed up by some 'theoretical data'.
Thanks for any help.
Kind Regards.
