PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
Delicate surfaces may suffer severe damage under heavy-cut compounds or when not properly polished by medium-cut compounds. The SONAX Profiline ExCut 05:05 (1L) solves this by balancing between correction and finishing with a sanding mark of up to P1500 grit. This provides efficiency without producing the extremely dull finish commonly associated with heavy compounds.What the Product Does
The SONAX Profiline ExCut 05:05 reduces deep scratches, sanding marks, oxidation, and severe swirl marks during polishing using high-performance abrasive particles optimized for orbital polishing systems. It maintains relatively high gloss levels during heavy correction sessions, helping to minimise the work during follow-up polishing stages. It works on dual-action and orbital polishing machines rather than traditional rotary-only systems. This greatly increases polishing stability as well as paint correction behaviour.Features
- Heavy-Cut Abrasive Technology: It features a high-cut abrasive structure meant for paint defect removal. This structure supports strong corrections without causing damage to the paint surfaces.
- P1500 Sanding Mark Removal: It rates at an astonishing P1500 grit in Sanding marks when using the right machine and pad. A balance between the Sonax Profiline CutMax 6:4 and the Sonax Profiline EX 04-06.
- High Gloss Finish Characteristics: It maintains a relatively strong gloss performance despite its aggressive cutting capability. This reduces correction haze significantly after compounding stages.
- Orbital Machine Optimization: It works on both dual-action and orbital polishing systems. Boosting stable polishing behaviour during correction work.
- Silicone-Free Formula: It is free from silicone components. This makes it compatible with paint shops and refinishing environments.
- Deep Scratch Removal Capability: It removes heavy scratches, bird droppings, etching, insect residue damage, and tree sap corrosion marks.
Benefits
- Faster Defect Removal: It corrects heavy paint defects more efficiently compared to medium-cut compounds. And it does not cause after effects like micro-marring that is usually associated with high-cut compounds.
- Improved Paint Clarity: It progressively levels deep scratches and sanding marks during polishing. This improves surface reflection and smoothness significantly.
- Reduced Refining Workload: Generates higher gloss during cutting stages which in turn minimises excessive haze formation. Finishing stages require less aggressive refinement afterwards.
- Cleaner Working Environment: Low-dusting characteristics reduce residue spread across adjacent panels and polishing equipment. Workspace cleanliness is therefore improved.
- Versatile Defect Correction: It corrects multiple defects such as swirl marks, sanding marks, oxidation, and environmental etching.
How to Use
- Apply on Pad: Make use of a hard orbital polishing pad for the standard correction stage. Use a hybrid wool pad for deeper scratches if stronger cutting performance is required.
- Prepare Product: Shake properly to ensure the abrasive components are distributed throughout the compound.
- Apply Product to the Pad: Apply directly onto the pad and spread evenly across the surface of the pad. Avoid applying too much and wipe off excess.
- Initial Polishing: Start with a medium speed and moderate pressure. The machine should be slightly angled when necessary. This should be repeated section by section until you complete the whole surface area.
- Increase Speed for Further Correction: Increase speed with pressure lighter than before. This improves abrasive refinement and glossy generation.
- Remove Residue: Wipe off excess residue with a clean microfiber cloth after each section.
- Refine the Finish: Apply a finishing polish to maximise gloss clarity and surface refinement.
- Clean Pads Regularly: Wash, dry, and store pads properly. Polishing compounds should not be mixed on the same pad.

FAQ
It levels heavy paint defects during paint correction. It uses strong abrasive correction performance to achieve this correction process.
It removes sanding marks up to P1500 grit when the appropriate machine and pad are used. Correction capability also depends on the paint's hardness and polishing techniques.
Yes. It works on both orbital and dual action polishing systems. This promotes stable polishing behaviour during correction sessions.
No. It comprises Low-dusting characteristics, reducing residue accumulation during polishing. This ensures the workspace is a bit tidy and easy to clean.
Yes. It delivers comparatively high gloss levels despite the high cutting performance. Additional finishing polish stages are also possible for maximum surface clarity.
