I recently bought a porter cable and bottles of Sonus SFX-1, 2 and 3. I am going to polish my car for the first time but i'm not really sure which polish to start with. I read on these forums that you should start with the least aggressive polish first, which makes sense, but is the Sonus SFX-3 polish more of a glaze? In this case would it be quicker to start with the SFX-2 and use the SFX-3 afterwards? Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
 
As coupe said, practice on pad combos and work on a small area of your car first to test.



Regarding your question on SFX polishes, SFX-3 is a polish however the word glaze is used and it really shouldn't (the word glaze is used a lot on various products but a true glaze contains no fillers and essentially only oils-ex. ClearKote Red Moose Machine Glaze). Essentially, SFX-3 works very similarily to ClearKote's Vanilla Moose which is a glaze with fillers. This will be the last product you will want to use when polishing. I'd recommend using SFX-2 and a light-cutting pad and go from there. If you need more results, bump the pad up to a cutting pad and if that doesn't work, SFX-1 plus medium cut pad (you get the idea).
