SONAX Profiline Polish EX 04-06 (250mL)

What the Product Does

Benefits vs Features 

Benefits

• Optimized for Dual Action Movement: Its unique formula is tailored to the specific kinematics of dual action polishers. The abrasive particles break down at a lower temperature and less pressure than with classic rotary polishes. This means you achieve full performance on the dual-action machine without having to apply excessive pressure. 
• Beginner Friendly: The usage techniques of the Polish are particularly beginner-friendly. Even without years of polishing experience, you can achieve a professional result with moderate pressure and medium speed.
• Hologram-Free High Gloss: A gloss level of 06, which is the highest rating in the SONAX system means that the polish leaves a finish free of holograms, swirls, and polishing marks. On dark paints, where every defect is immediately visible, this point is crucial. The EX 04-06 creates a result on black or dark blue paint that looks flawless even under direct sunlight and LED inspection lights.
• Silicone-Free and Body Shop Safe: Like all SONAX PROFILINE polishes, the EX 04-06 is formulated silicone-free. This is essential in body shops that polish and paint simultaneously. It is common knowledge that silicone residues on adjacent vehicles or workshop surfaces can cause craters during refinishing. This makes the EX 04-06 the first choice for preparation before ceramic coating, where an absolutely silicone-free surface optimizes adhesion.

Features

• Optimized Diminishing Abrasive Technology (DAT): Made from milled aluminum oxide abrasive grains, the polish automatically breaks down under low heat or mild pressure. This feature is one of the reasons the polish is beginner-friendly, since it reduces overheating.
• 250mL packaging: Comes in a 250 mL bottle, which is sufficient for several complete vehicle polishes. This is especially so because the product consumption on a dual-action machine is moderate requiring few reloads.
• Low Dust Technology: Features a non-sticky solution that keeps the compound bound to the pad and the painted surface, reducing residue accumulation. This helps speed up the working process and ensures a tidy finish.
• Silicone and Wax-Free: Ensures a clean, wax-free finish, making it safe for use in body shops and even personal auto detailing. 

How to Use

1. Prepare the Surface: Wash the surface thoroughly to remove any dirt and decontaminate using a clay bar. Leave it to dry for at least 60 minutes before applying the polish. 
2. Fix the Polisher and Pad: Ready the polisher and choose the type of pad you want to use. Use the EX 04-06 with a medium-hard foam pad (orange in the SONAX color system) at a speed of 4 to 5 on the dual action polisher.
3. Apply the Product on the Pad: Apply three pea-sized dots to the pad, spread at a low speed, and then work with medium pressure in slow, overlapping passes. It is always best to move the machine at about two to three centimeters per second over the surface. This allows the abrasives to have enough contact time to fully remove defects and develop high gloss.
4. Buff Off: Wipe off residues with a clean, soft microfiber towel and check the result under an LED inspection light. On dark paints, an additional check under direct sunlight is recommended because some holograms and swirls only become visible under natural light.
