QUICK ANSWERS

Polishing system questions answered

What is the one-step combination?

Black-One and the Medium/One Step Pad. This is the starting combination for light to moderate paint defects when correction and gloss are needed in one pass.

How does the two-step combination work?

Start with Max Cut and the Max Cut Pad for correction. Then use Perfect Finish and the Perfect Finish Pad for refinement. Assess the result on the actual paint.

What should I choose for finishing alone?

Perfect Finish and the Perfect Finish Pad. Ultra Soft can be useful for particularly sensitive paint. Specialist pads remain available in the full overview.

Do I need all the products?

No. Choose a process for your paint and existing equipment. A kit can help when you need several levels of correction, but it does not require you to carry out three polishing stages.
