What's inside
- 1 × Perfect Polish (16 oz)
- 2 × One Step Microfiber Pad (5")
- 1 × Black Foam Finishing Pad (5")
- 2 × Plush 470 microfiber towel (gray)
The process
| Step | Pad + liquid | Cut | Finish | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Correct | Perfect Polish + One Step Microfiber (level 4) | 6/10 | 7/10 | One-step correction on daily drivers — best time-to-result |
| 2. Jewel (optional) | Perfect Polish + Black Foam (level 6) | 2/10 | 10/10 | Jeweling, max gloss, coating prep, soft or dark paint |
The One Step Microfiber Pad cuts like a compound pad and finishes like foam. With Perfect Polish it removes moderate swirls and leaves strong gloss in a single pass; the Black Foam pad is there for a quick jeweling pass on soft or dark paint.
Harder or neglected paint? Add Pure Cut to the One Step Microfiber Pad for more bite (level 2 on the ladder).
Good to know
- Not for matte or satin paint, vinyl wrap or PPF.
- Always test a 2' × 2' spot first and use the least aggressive combo that removes your defects.
- Scratches you can catch with a fingernail are usually through the clear coat and will not fully polish out.
How to use
- Prep: wash, decontaminate and clay; tape off trim and sharp edges.
- Step 1 · Correct: Perfect Polish + One Step Microfiber. Lightly prime the microfiber, then 3–4 pea-size drops. Work 2' × 2' sections at DA speed 4–5 with moderate pressure, slow overlapping passes, then wipe and inspect.
- Step 2 · Jewel (optional): Perfect Polish + Black Foam. 3–4 pea-size drops on the pad. Work 2' × 2' sections at DA speed 3–4 with light pressure, slow overlapping passes, then wipe and inspect.
- Protect: wipe with Detox, then seal with RESIST or your coating.
Pro tips
- Clean the pad every 1–2 sections with a pad brush or compressed air.
- Keep each pad dedicated to one liquid.
- Work on cool panels out of direct sun.
