Awesome Awesome work. I follow your write-ups and they are great to read. Did you use this Sonax Nano-Polish for the first time? What's it like to work with?

we have been testing as well as using this polish for over a year now.
Sonax Nano Polish along with Sonax Fine Abrasive Polish will be available in December. It is a great polish that we have put in to our day to day operations. |

Couple questions after checking out the product on your site.
What's the difference between silicone and silicone-free polish? I am looking for a good replacement for megs #205 as it is way too oily for my likes. How does this compare to it?

M205 is great for what it is. Meaning it is the perfect sidekick to M105 to polish up all the micro-marring leftover from compounding. However it does get oily to the point where I can't tell if I am ridding the car of the micro-marring or not. After a dawn soap wash to break down and remove the chemicals I can see no swirls appear meaning the car is fully corrected (Not 100% but you know what I mean). It also acts as a great solution to remove light swirl marks.
What I am looking for is a polish that cuts a pinch deeper than M205 without it leaving too much oil. My eyes have been leaning towards Menzerna SIP, but since I believe so strongly in Sonax wheel cleaner and dash cleaner (Thanks for the deal a little while back) I figured I would give this polish a little attention since my M205 is nearly done.
