I'm going to get beat up but I still like Meg's 205. It doesn't dust, produces great gloss and easy wipe off. A lot of the newer polishes seem oily and hard to wipe off. I have tried almost all of them.

I like sonax perfect finish but I haven’t tried the others.

“Rocks in a bottle” 🤣🤣🤣 That Rocks! 😁

CarPro Fixer and Reflect is what I started with when I got into polishing, and I still have some left over, which still does the job.

Excellent video as always Brian 👍🏻another one for the library

I have learned so much from you. The details. You elaborate on the details of paint correction. Thnx.

I love Carpro products with Reset being my all time favourite soap. I have no need of a polish with my Ceramic but nice to see this product reviewed.

Keep it up Brian, another great video!

Very expensive "rocks in a bottle". Great stuff Brian. Thank you!

Thanks again for another informative video, appreciate of your time and sharing of your knowledge

I love CarPro Essence as a finishing polish. I guess it's basically same as Reflect but with SiO2 added to it. Great primer for coatings. Super easy to work with.

I really enjoyed this video and learned a lot. I have never used reflect with their gloss pad but you have shown some amazing gloss before from this combo. My small arsenal has white Rupes pad and Koch Chemie, Fab, and Rupes Uno. I like Fab the best but now I am wondering if using the CarPro gloss pad would level the surface more than the white Rupes pad? Thank you for the video.

Great video! Love the rating scale!

Carpro reflect for me but I use it with a very soft used finishing pad just to improve the flake pop from after scholl s40 just to amp up the gloss very slightly

Keep the product on the shelf. Take it out when winter comes. Love to see how it does with snow.

I just purchased a new Mercedes that is diamond white , what Polish and pad would you recommend to get the paint to pop prior to a wax or ceramic coating. Thank you Great channel and informative videos

Nice

I absolutely trust your paint correction abilities. If you have marks of 3000 left after using Reflect, that means I couldn't even come close to removing them. However, M205 is cheaper, and I can remove 3000 grit with M205. My choice is obvious. Great video Brian. Thanks for teaching and sharing. Greetings from Chile.

M205 is much easier to get as well.

Another great product review from the master! It’s great to see ‘real world’ testing and the limitations that products have. I have the same gloss meter and can’t get it corrected to the baseline. Any hints to correct this (or links to the solution) would be appreciated.

What exact problems are you having with it?

Carpro says that this should be used with their orange pad - medium cut for anything other than juweling

Would using this with the Urofiber 50/50 pad get you closer to addressing the 3000 grit marks or would that be too aggressive and actually introduce haze requiring a second step anyway?

@apexdetail85

It could...depending on the hardness of the clear.

Hi, I seem to be getting some haze from using Carpro Reflect with finishing pad on my Shinemate DA polisher on my metallic black Honda. I did the cutting stage with a Shinemate cutting pad (green) and 3D One hybrid compound, which fixed the marring, but after doing the finishing with Reflect, it seem to leave some haze, which I thought was just stubborn residue, but I couldn't get it off after wiping it with IPA prep spray. What do recommend me to do? And could you tell me what speed setting did you use? Appreciate the help, Thanks!

can yo compare fixer with Sonax ProfiLine Perfect Finish 04-06 ?

Great video. But I will still stick with 3D one and one n 1 compound. These two compounds are all rounder for me. Best part about these compounds is just use any pad depending on job needs. I got some of the best gloss with one n 1 done. Especially dark colours. Plus $$$$$$$ matters now-a-DAYS.

Could you tell me what Lake Country CCS pad I should use with Reflect on a ‘19 Mustang?

Hi. Using reflect on extremely soft clear coat causes me marring. What could be the problem?

I haven’t tried Reflect, as my go-to polish is Essence prior to applying a ceramic coating. Yes, it has fillers. So it’s one or the other, but not both for a detail? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have used both and if your coating and using Essence for a primer the fillers work in your favor but Reflect will give you similar results without fillers so i use that for cars i am not coating

Hi Brian mines just arrived with a pd date 2021 08 on the front what does this mean ?

Thanks for the demo, not bad results. Overall I find carpro products to be overrated for the cost. Better products out there for less the cost imo

Thanks for another great video Brian 👍🏻😎 I wanted to ask if you could please shed some light on the cause of pigtails when polishing and the repair process for said pigtails? 🐷🐽

@jdisdetermined

2 жыл бұрын

You're getting pigtails from polishing? Or do you mean sanding? Either way, they're caused by debris between the media and the surface. Make sure the panel is perfectly clean and fully deconned before you start correction. If that is done but the problem remains, reduce your section size, change and/or clean your pad out more frequently. To repair them is the same as any defect. Use the appropriate amount of aggression to remove them.

Thanks for showing people how to use this. @CarprousSKY does a great vid on it. A little bit goes the long way and is one of the best finishing polishes in the market. 2 drops on the pad was already too much....Arent the P claims that products make for newly sprayed body shop situations ?
