From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“The SDS is not classified under GB CLP · no H315 or H317 at mixture level. The light petroleum-based carrier at 5-<10% in SDS §3 is the basis for situational skin protection during prolonged or repeated contact. Short application passes with a polishing pad involve incidental skin contact only.”

From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“SDS §3 discloses a light petroleum-based carrier at 5-<10%. Per the one-step-polish rubric, any confirmed solvent carrier at ≥5% requires a lungs entry at minimum situational. The SDS §11 independently confirms viscosity >20.5 mm²/s limits vapor generation · no H335 or H336 appears at mixture level. Situational tier reflects the carrier's presence, not a mixture-level respiratory hazard classification. Outdoor or ventilated use has no respiratory classification basis.”

TL;DR Removes light swirls and P2000 sanding marks under a rotary or DA polisher. Highly rated on Amazon, with owners broadly confirming swirl removal on soft-to-medium paint; add a dedicated sealant if durability beyond a few weeks matters.
SONAX rates this Cut 4 / Gloss 6 · moderate correction and maximum-rated gloss on their scale. Apply to a foam cutting pad with a rotary or DA polisher; the low-dust formula wipes off cleanly. The brand claims no fillers and a silicone-free, water-based formula, and broad, well-rated owner feedback supports consistent swirl removal. No alcohol wipe-test community data exists to independently confirm correction persistence, so correction transparency is scored conservatively. Silicone-free chemistry means LSP application immediately after is safe.
Best for daily drivers with light swirl buildup or body shop technicians correcting P2000 sanding marks. Skip it for deep scratches (use a compound) or if you need more than a few weeks of protection without a follow-up sealant.
The SDS carries no signal word and no GHS H-codes at the mixture level. The light petroleum-based carrier at 5·10% (SDS §3) drives a situational lung protection tier for enclosed-space use · the high-viscosity formula limits vapor generation, and no respiratory H-code applies at mixture level. Skin protection is situational for prolonged contact. Prop 65 applies from the listed petroleum-based carrier ingredients. Confirmed biodegradable per standard biodegradability testing; no PFAS; no aquatic hazard H-codes at mixture level.
It is SONAX's internal 1-to-6 performance scale. 'Cut 4' means moderate correction ability · the product removes P2000-grit sanding marks and light-to-moderate swirl marks under a machine polisher. 'Gloss 6' means maximum-rated gloss on SONAX's scale · the finish is designed to deliver showroom-level clarity without a separate finishing step. A Cut 4 rating places this product between a dedicated compound (higher cut) and a pure finishing polish (lower cut, less correction).
The brand explicitly states 'NO FILLERS' and the formula is confirmed water-based and silicone-free, consistent with a non-filler chemistry. Highly rated on Amazon by a large owner base, community experience is broadly positive for swirl removal. However, no alcohol wipe-test data from independent community testing exists as of 2026-05-19 to formally isolate abrasive correction from any incidental filler component · this is why correction_transparency is scored conservatively.
Yes · the brand specifically cites compatibility with German, Asian OEM, and domestic paint finishes. The SONAX PROFILINE line is developed for professional body shop applications where clear-coat compatibility is a hard requirement. The 'body shop safe' and silicone-free formula means it will not contaminate a refinishing environment.
SONAX does not require an alcohol wipe-test prep step for normal application. For professional body shop correction of sanded defects, a clean panel is assumed. For maintenance detailing, applying directly to a clean, dry panel with a rotary or DA polisher is the standard workflow. Using an alcohol wipe-test before final assessment would confirm how much of the result is abrasive correction vs. any residual surface conditioning · but no community data from this test exists yet.
Yes. The formula is silicone-free, which means it does not interfere with ceramic coatings, paint sealants, or conventional waxes applied afterward. The brand markets it as 'body shop safe,' which implies immediate LSP compatibility. Community consensus supports immediate LSP application without a cure window, consistent with the silicone-free water-based chemistry.
