    Good evening. Sometimes we get so busy our own vehicles need some time. We picked this up this 2012 Focus in January. It is in great shape, had some scratches here and there and could not wait to put a coat of Sonax NetShield on it.

    Some scratches here and there. I was going to just compound them only, but after a couple of test sections decided to do entire car. Glad I did as it brought forth a lot of clarity to the paint.

    Great detail! So you just compounded twice and didn't polish?

    Failed to mention that! Made one pass after compounding with Meguires D.A. Microfiber finishing wax, IPA wipe down then sealed with Sonax.
    Thanks for asking as it was late doing post.
