Sonus SFX-1 question?

[Darren S]

Is this stuff too harsh for normal use?

I'd only be using the standard SFX-2 polish anyway, but if there were sections that didn't appear to be touched by the SFX-2, I maybe tempted for the SFX-1.

ive heard megs #83 is quite good and menzerna IP.

I have SFX-1,2 & 3 matey, they are spot on!!

 

[Darren S]

Cheers guys.

I'll see how the SFX-2 performs first, but I may per-chase the -1 in a bit.

The SFX are very much underated. The SFX-2 is a fairly mild polish, with SFX-3 really just being a gloss enhancer.

SFX-1 on the scale of abrasion is slightly above Menzerna Intensive Polish and Meguiars #83. It is quite a brittle polish though so breaks down easily which is why it is so popular as an into to machine polishing.

This Nissan 200sx I corrected using the SFX gear and are a set of polishes I keep meaning to re use, but have a load of litre bottles of the Menz open so never get cahnce.

^^^^ - that looks well impressive m8. My 182 is bad, but not as bad as that 200SX!

It's got me thinking of buying some SFX-1 as a backup measure!

Darren just go with the SFX-1,2&3 steps, use a good sealant a quality carnuba and it'll come up like new.

Good god - what have I started? I haven't used the PC yet and already I'm on that slippery slope of National Debt to the detailing products!

After the paint correction - AG SRP works well by PC, follow that up with EGP and you will get cracking results for very little muhoney.

Ah? I have a large bottle of AG SRP - maybe I'll try that first then after the SFX-2 (or 1) phase?

Iirc, you don't rate the AG Ultra Deep Shine for afterwards, Rich? I do have a bottle of the AG EGP as well....

Yeap - Not a fan of the UDS as it won't let the EGP bond to it.

After you polishing with the SFX's follow that up with the SRP and EGP and it will look good.

Sounds like the plan to follow then. Cheers Rich. :approve:

Is doing AG SRP after you've done sfx 3 not overkill? Aren't they basically the same product?

 

[Rich]

SFX is a finsishing polish and you could argue the same for SRP.

That said SRP has very little actual abbrassive cut, it cleans chemically and leaves a perfect base for the EGP to bond too. If you want to use the EGP it needs to go over the SRP for best results.

If your going straight to wax after PCing with SFX 3 the SRP will not be needed.
