Has anyone tried System one polish?

Yes I've heard of it. Great idea and sort of like OP

However I doubt that it can achieve the kind of finish that a super fine polish or non filling glaze would



They have a competitor that has one product that does it all and just as powerful but finishes up nicer. Plus it only just removes clearcoat. Less than a finishing polish



Check MSDS page 1 on their site. It contains parrafin wax, naptha, surfactant and some aluminium. Same CAS numbers as a heap of other products so it's nothing I want.
 
I am currently evaluating it. Ive tried the spray wax, which they recommend/allow using on a wet surface. In other words, use it while drying, then go back and buff off. I found that experience unfavorable. It would probably be easier to remove if you just finished up the drying process with the product on the surface.

It did leave a decent finish, somewhat along the lines of Optimum Spray Wax. The Spray bottle I fely way over atomized the product, and left alot of it floating adrift. I havent tried the polish yet, as I dont have a guinea pig for it.....

The MSDS says it contains parrafins...not parrafin wax. I have a call into the manufacturer to get clarification as they are not necessarily the same thing.



From Wikipedia:



Paraffin is a common name for a group of alkane hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms. The simplest paraffin molecule is that of methane, CH4, a gas at room temperature. Heavier members the series, such as that of octane C8H18, appear as liquids at room temperature. The solid forms of paraffin, called paraffin wax, are from the heaviest molecules. Paraffin wax was identified by Carl Reichenbach in 1830.[1]



Paraffin, or paraffin hydrocarbon, is also the technical name for an alkane in general, but in most cases it refers specifically to a linear, or normal alkane — whereas branched, or isoalkanes are also called isoparaffins. It is distinct from the fuel known in Britain as paraffin oil or just paraffin, which is called kerosene in American English. Usage of the term varies in other countries, leading to confusion about which substance is being referred to.



Also, you say you 'doubt that it can achieve the kind of finish that a super fine polish or non filling glaze would', which implies you haven't tried it. But then you said 'They have a competitor that has one product that does it all and just as powerful but finishes up nicer.', which implies you have tried it.



So I guess I am curious to know whether or not you have tried it.



Also, what does 'Plus it only just removes clearcoat' mean? Clearcoat is essentially the same paint as single-stage, without the pigment. Anyone that claims their product only works on clearcoat or is especially made for clearcoat only is not being truthful. I don't know that system one, solo or ultrafina make that claim...so I am curious as to where you heard that.
 
My wording is not that good at times. I'm still learning how to post proper sentences

I'm hopeless at writing letters



Anyways, what I meant was that it doesn't remove anywhere near as much clearcoat, in some cases none. It's a new chemical polish and Dave KG is testing it out at the moment

The quartz sealer sounds exciting.
 
It will burnish from 1000 grit scratches and finish up at 3000 grit

It's not a typical chemica polish like PB's. This is a new technology.

It's not really new technology, rather a different manufacturing process. It was pioneered by Mark-V Products, who made it for System One, although I think the System One people decided to try and make it themselves with less than great results. Mark-V still private label it for PPG, and they also sell they're own version called Mystique ( slightly slower cut than the PPG version) It produces a clearer, crisper finish rather than a deep finish, and it contains very little in the way of oils, just a small amount of mineral oil, so the scratches don't reappear after a few days

So you are saying that PPG SPP 1001 is almost the same as Mark-V

Mystique?



SVR: Aren´t you talking about the Gtechniq P1 polish?

Since PPG have the 1001 made specifically for their recognised distribution agents there have to be differences between the two. For this reason the PPG product cuts faster, where as the Mystique polishes to a slightly higher shine.
