My friend Melody was kind enough to send me a sample of Sonax Proline Perfect Finish, which will be known as PF for the rest of the post.
Working on a 2011 VW Jetta Sportwagen in black. I have fought this paint since I laid eyes on it. I've tried all kinds of polishes and pad combos. All have got out deeper stuff but have never finished down to zero defects. I swear this paint swirls just by walking past it.
After doing an ONR wash the previous day, I notice swirls in one area, where I assume the lady places her purse while rummaging through it.
Having recently bought some yellow Rupes microfiber pads along with the sample of PF I decided to give it a shot. My weapon of choice my trusty Makita rotary with a Dynabrade head and 5" Lake Country backing plate. There was somewhat of a difficulty getting PF out of the sample bottle, but after applying 4 dabs to the pad I was ready to go.
Spread at speed 1 before bumping it to 6. I made 5-6 section passes before I decided to wipe off and inspect. The polish wasn't broken down as much as some others have suggested (found out later on). Wiped away and the scratches were all gone. Upon further inspection I also notice the paint in the affected area was perfect (not including the factor orange peel).
From medium to heavy swirls to perfect in one try, I'm impressed.
Oh, if only I had taken photos.
Now onto the bad, and yes there is a bad side to PF. The price! Yikes $70 of 1L. If I hadn't been sent a sample I would never have considered paying that much. Having used it, I'm convinced.
