Review: Easy, quick, and leaves a great shine - I had a piece of twine that was hanging over the tailgate of my Ram 1500. Stopped after about 90 miles to check the load and realized that the twine was leaving visible scratches. Once I got home and unloaded I could clearly see all the scratches. Looked around town for recommendations and a family member who owns a body shop told me about this product. Ordered it and received it within 6 days. Took me about 30 minutes to apply and buff off the entire tailgate. Left it looking brand new and it's shine has lasted through 6 carwashes so far. Excellent product!
Review: Does well on paint blends - surprisingly good for yellowed plastic headlamps. - I bought this to finish cutting the blend line on some black paint/clear coat that the painter didn't finish, which its diminishing abrasive did well. Used a cheap 6" Harbor Freight random orbit buffer. Then, for some reason, I tried it on a very badly yellowed headlamp (300M Special - HID - not cheap to replace), and within about two minutes, it was substantially improved. It went from not being able to see the internal HID lens to being only slightly different from the almost-new headlamp on the opposite side. It has remained clear for about two weeks, so far. No reason to think it will change anytime soon. Now I'm curious about their finer grade polishes. :-) Update 08-27-23: Added before and after photos of my 300M headlamp. Also found that a coating of CAR GUYS Hybrid Spray Wax | Advanced Car Wax | Long Lasting and Easy To Use | Safe on All Surfaces | 18 Oz Kit works very well at preserving the headlamp's clarity for many months. Actually, after a year and a half, it still looked good, but I buffed it again, since it takes very little time. Amazing formula Sonax has developed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be the same as first using rubbing compound, then polishing, and then swirl and scratches remover? all in one ?**
A: That's all-in-one solution to both removing minor scratches and polishing.  However, it is not as aggressive as separate systems.  
That's also waterbased and doesn't stain plastic surfaces.

**Q: IS this. a single step polish or do I need another finishing polish ?**
A: This is a diminishing grit polish. As it is worked (by hand or machine) the particle size gets smaller, and it goes from cutting to polishing the paint, or whatever is being polished. It really depends on what level of gloss you want. This brought my car's paint to a mirror shine, which I finished with a carnauba wax for protection. You can read a dollar bill in the reflection of the paint. I believe Sonax makes even finer polishes for those who desire that. I also inadvertently found out that this will polish dulled plastic headlamps surprisingly well with a random orbit buffer.

**Q: can it be applied by hand or has to be with machine?**
A: I usually apply it by hand

**Q: Is this sonax product a rubbing compound? i am in search of a rubbing compound. thank you**
A: No.
Sonax Cut & Finish is a polish which focuses on enhancing paint gloss. It can be used as a 1-Step All-In-One Polish.

The Rubbing Compound focuses on removing deeper paint Imperfections and usually requires a 2nd step or polish to enhance paint gloss (after the Rubbing Compound has removed the heavy paint Imperfections and left the paint finish dull).

I hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Performance
*by J***A on October 5, 2025*

Painted bumper with base coat / clear. Wet sanded texture from clear with 1200, 1500, 2500. Used this with a mini polisher and went from sanded surface to gloss in one step. Very impressive.
