I've searched and found nothing but good things about SIP..but I'm still having a hard time justifying it.
Can I ask that everyone share their experiences with SIP here...specifically performance vs. other popular polishes.
When out on a Job I currently carry PG, IP, FP, 85RD, SSR2, SSR3, OHC (new), Poli-seal (if you really want to call that a polish) all with me.
I see all of these positive comments and realize I can probably carry SIP in place of a couple of the others listed but I still can't force myself to pull the trigger.
I'm looking for first hand experience here convincing me to get some...for example because it's that much better and will be a time saver over what I'm currently using.

SIP is awesome. If you own a polish with all of the following characteristics, then don't buy it. Otherwise, do buy it.
1) Removes decent sized swirls in one pass
2) Cuts quickly, each pass doesn't have to take very long
3) Finishes last step ready on light colors. You can polish many cars in a single step!
4) Leaves the paint squeaky clean, perfectly prepped for LSP.
5) Cuts the ceramiclear hard clear coats, and does much better than other products on conventional hard clear coats
6) It's only $30 for a 32 oz. bottle with a good pad and squeeze bottle
7) It's the dog's nuts of the of the polishing world | |

Did you ever use the old forumula of OHC? I have that, and the SIP is hands down better at removing swirls and finishing better. | |

I'd like to add that it is a great polish, but.... you DO NOT want to use it with Edge pads. They start to squeak on the paint and start to smell too. Stay away from SIP with Edge pads.
This happened to me last week and was confirmed by Rydawg, Timmah and countless others that Edge and SIP dont work together.
Other than that, the correction is *amazing* with this stuff. Finishes so clean too!

Rydawg and TH001 both say the orange CCS 7 1/4" pads on the rotary work great with SIP. I ordered some of the pads today. Can't wait to try it out.

So does it dust less than IP? | |
