 Post subject : Sonus Ultima Paint Prep Plus Pre-Wax Polish ?
|

OK Sonus experts..
Reading a Autopia (Sonus) article.. on Dual Action Polishers..
http://guidetodetailing.com/articles.php?articleId=47
They talk about the above to remove light swirls before waxing.
Now I have just used SFX2 then 3 then Jetseal then Pete's 53' - not a 5 minute operation, I can tell you.. 
So what's Sonus Ultima Paint Prep Plus Pre-Wax Polish ?
Is it the same as http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing/polish/sonus-paintwork-cleaner/prod_46.html ??
I have as mentioned SFX 1, 2 and 3..
On that subject they say DO NOT wash your pads in a washing machine use their Sonus cleaner..
Oops I slung mine in the washing machine with MF's and a NON-BIO wash powder. All came out OK - if a bit fluffy  .
Have I bodged ? |

OK more reading..
Seems the best way to keep your paintwork top is to use a Pre-Wax Cleanser and NOT over polish it. i.e. removing too much clearcoat..
http://www.autopia.org/forum/guide-detailing/80222-over-polishing-paint.html
So in the running - if I am correct is Sonus Paintwork Cleaner and then again also I presume Dodo Lime Prime..
Anyone got any favs.. I presume you apply with SFX3 pad ? |

The sonus paintwork cleaner looks like a good idea once your swirl free and don't want to remove anymore clearcoat. It sounds a bit like megs stage 1 cleaner, which is good.
Dam it LM are you trying to spend more of my money 
That's a good link  cheers |

Only the best
Hey I think you have to do lots of research if you are rubbing abrasives at high speed across your paintwork  |
