Thank you and best regards, |
Yes, it is a less aggressive polish than the SFX-2 and you can use it in two stages when needed or desired for a better shine. Depending on the severity of the swirl and paint hardness you may or may not need the SFX-2 as the Ultima will remove swirl if not severe.
Here's some more info. on the application and use.
Ultima Paint Prep Plus is a fine, non-abrasive polish that deep cleans paint, smoothes away swirl marks, water spots and fine surface scratches, and increases over-all paint gloss. As it cleans and polishes, Ultima Paint Prep Plus leaves behind a special primer designed to promote proper bonding of Ultima Paint Guard Plus paint protection. Using Ultima Paint Polish Plus greatly enhances and extends the life of Ultima Paint Guard Plus.
ULTIMA PAINT PREP PLUS APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Use Sparingly: Ultima Paint Prep Plus can be used sparingly. About two to three ounces of product is all that's needed to polish most cars.
Preparation: You will achieve the best results with Ultima Paint Prep Plus if your vehicle is clean and completely dry. Thoroughly wash and dry all surfaces. If bonded contamination is present, deep clean your vehicle's paint with the Ultima Elastrofoam System. Park you car in a shaded area and allow to cool before application.
Hand Application: Dispense 3-4 dabs of polish on orange side of an Ultima Dual-Foam Exterior Applicator and rub it into you paint. If removing swirl marks or visible oxidation, rub briskly. If you paint is in good condition, there's no need to rub heavily. Apply to one panel at a time. As needed, apply more polish to the applicator. Rub until only a fine film remains. Buff off with a microfiber buffing towel to a brilliant shine.
Machine Application: Dispense a ring of polish in the center of a 5" to 6" foam "swirl remover" pad. Adjust polished speed to the mid-range setting and place the pad on your vehicle's surface. Apply firm pressure then switch on the polisher. After distributing polish on the panel, let up on the pressure and work in well. Run the machine until only a fine film remains. Buff off with a microfiber buffing towel to a brilliant shine.
Frequency of Use: Ultima Paint Prep Plus is a very gentle polish. Use twice a year as a pre-treatment prior to applying Ultima Paint Guard Plus.
More Shine: If your goal is the wettest-looking, deepest, clearest, most distortion-free finish you can imagine, after removing swirl marks and oxidation, Ultima Paint Prep Plus can be applied by machine with a soft foam "finishing pad" to achieve show car quality results.
