An ideal one-step polish for all ?hard? and other clear coat paint, can be followed with Nano Polish (PO85RD 3.01) using a black pad for lighter imperfections, or for burnishing the surface for even more depth and gloss.

PO203 Power Finish is a nice polish that fits between SIP and 106fa IME. It doesn't have as much cut as SIP nor does it finish out as nice a 106fa, particularly by rotary. The oils/lubricants in PO203/PF are pretty thick and can mask defects, so a wipedown is necessary IMO to check your work.

It is similar in cut to the original IP (PO91E) and does finish marginally better, but I still prefer IP in most cases.

How are you looking to use it and by what machine?

It might look good when you are done but I don't think 203 will produce a true, hologram free finish (maybe on very hard paint?)

so u dont think waxing after would be good enough? or follow up with something like po85rd with gray/black pad? (thats what i have)...i thought it was a one step product if used with green pad...maybe i read it wrong

Follow with po85rd with gray/black pad and you will be fine.

On harder paints it will finish out hologram free. But make sure to use IPA/prepsol/silicone remover or similar to remove all the lubrication oils. I also always do a alkalie wash after the polish step.

PO203S with a soft pad will finish out very nice. I did not see any more gloss after a hit with PO106FA...
