PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Introduction

Due to factors such as improper washing and environmental exposure, vehicle paint surfaces gradually develop defects that affect the vehicle’s aesthetics. The SONAX Profiline Fine Polishing Compound FS 5:4 (1L) however provides a strong corrective structure while simultaneously maintaining a good gloss. It corrects moderate paint defects effectively without producing excessive dullness and has the capability of removing sanding marks up to P1500 grit when used with the appropriate polishing pads and machine settings.

What the Product Does

The SONAX Profiline Fine Polishing Compound FS 5:4 corrects paint work using specialised abrasive particles to level moderate defects progressively while refining the paint surface simultaneously. It effectively restores weathered and lightly scratched paint systems, boosting reflection sharpness and surface uniformity. During polishing sessions, it levels surface defects that reduce gloss and paint clarity. Unlike extremely aggressive compounds that prioritise correction at the expense of finish quality, it maintains a comparatively good shine effect during polishing.

Features

  • Medium-Aggressive Abrasive Technology: It maintains quality finishing using a balanced abrasive structure which effectively removes moderate paint defects. Surface leveling occurs progressively during polishing sessions, improving correction without excessive material removal. 
  • P1500 Sanding Mark Removal Capability: It removes sanding marks up to P1500 grit when using a proper pad and machine. This enhances paint leveling performance significantly.
  • Low Dust Technology: Dust generation is minimal during polishing thanks to its specially formulated design. This reduces the chances of residue across surrounding surfaces. 
  • Silicone-Free Composition: It is a silicone-free compound. Making it compatible with body shops and repainting environments.

Benefits

  • Efficient Paint Defect Removal: It removes moderate scratches, oxidation, sanding haze, and overspray contaminants more effectively when compared with finishing only polishes. This increases restoration efficiency drastically.
  • Reduced Refinement Workload: During correction procedures, it maintains relatively good gloss and requires less intensive refinement during the secondary polishing stages. This prevents excessive haze formation usually present when polishing with aggressive compounds.
  • Versatile Correction Capability: The product supports multiple applications and corrections, including used vehicle restoration, overspray removal, moderate defects correction, and post-sanding refinement. This supports broad operational flexibility within professional detailing environments.
  • Better Operator Control: The abrasive behaviour supports stable polishing performance during machine operation. It ensures excessive aggressiveness is at its lowest form during correction work.

How to Use

  • Select Appropriate Pad: Make use of a hard foam polishing pad or lambswool pad depending on the correction requirements and the paint hardness. Lambswool pads provide stronger cutting performance while the foam pads offer a controlled refinement.
  • Mix up the Content: To ensure the abrasive components mix up properly with the formula, shake properly before use. 
  • Apply Product to the Polishing Pad: Apply evenly onto the surface of the pad. Avoid applying excessively as it may lead to oversaturation which in turn reduces cutting efficiency and increases residue buildup.
  • Begin Initial Correction Phase: Start with an initial speed of about 800 RPM with pressure between 5-10kg for 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, reduce pressure to about 1-2kg while speed is increased to 1500 RPM. The polishing pad should remain flat against the surface during this phase.
  • Remove Residue and Inspect Results: Wipe off polishing residue using a clean microfiber cloth after each section. Inspect finish work and see if there are still corrections to be done.
  • Follow with Final Refinement(Optional): Follow up with a finishing polish to achieve a hologram-free finish on dark and sensitive paint systems.

FAQ

The SONAX Profiline Fine Polishing Compound FS 5:4 is a compound for correcting and restoring weathered and lightly scratched automotive paint surfaces. It also effectively restores moderate defects like sanding marks, oxidation, overspray residue, and swirl marks.

The compound removes sanding marks up to P1500 grit when used together with a suitable polishing pad and an appropriate machine setting. This supports post-sanding correction procedures.

No. It maintains a low-dust system that minimises the formation of airborne residue during polishing operations. This significantly improves cleaner finishings and makes it easy for cleanup.

Yes. It works perfectly well on hard foam pads or lambswool pads depending on the defect severity. Pad is a significant factor that affects both cut and finish quality.

It is optional, but additional finishing may be beneficial especially on dark or sensitive paint surfaces. It improves hologram removal and gloss clarity, providing a higher quality finish.
