I've been evaluating the SYSTEM ONE product for the last 4-5 cars and wanted to give it a real workout on a badly swirled Black car. The Ferrari service shop got this Viper and wanted me to bring the paint to a good level. The car has been totally re-painted, so it was not OEM level paint.



Here is a representative sample of the finish I was working with:

System One is a single-use product and you use wool to do your compound-type work (swirls, scratches, sanding marks, etc), then switch to foam and use the same liquid for final polish. In my case, it saves me a couple of steps compared to using 3M compounds, glazes, polishes, etc. It is dusty, but it is a water based product and cleans up extremely easy.



Here's a shot of the roof after just the wool. You could almost finish the car with just wool, but I used it per directions and switched to foam.

I used their spray wax in a wax-as-u-dry method after a final rinse to remove dust and splatter. Dried the car with a microfiber and the System One wax, let haze and buffed. This worked well for me because of the time factor in finishing this car.

Great shine on the Viper:drool: , so did you like using the System one polish, i wonder if it works with a UDM? Nice work Toto!.......:bigups
 
Nice that is the test I wanted to see .It really looks like a decent product. Great work as always Toto !!!
 
Hey where do you get System One? We had some at our shop but it got used up and I never got a chance to try it out. It looks like it worked well for you.
 
Doesnt sound/look like too bad of a product. I wonder where I have been, I've never heard of it. Like zoomzoom said, do you think it would work well without a rotary? Also would it work if you just wanted to use the foam pad if the cc you were working on was soft? BTW looks great.
 
Remember that a big part of it is the detailer. Is it a good product? I am sure. Is it an exceptioal product? I doubt it.



You can use Optimum Polish the same way.



PS: I have never tried a polish on the pc that didn't work.
 
Wow, that Viper looks great Toto. With your skills, you could make the car look fabulous with anything you use. You make it look so easy! Always a pleasure to see your work! :bow
 
I love looking at your C&Bs! You do amazing work, and this car is no exception. I'd also like to see the pads you used.
 
I was recommended System One by Malaysia's PPG master distributor sales guy earlier this year. Wanted to give it a shot, but then, at that time, never saw something like Optimum. This is something like MG's So1o system as well. Good to see you got great results with it.
