PO106FA vs. PO106FF

[imported_artikxscout]

Ok, so I finally got to use the PO106FA on a detail today... my experience (chime in if you had different).



PO106FA



Looks the same as PO106FF. If you put them next to each other side by side, they probably look the same. However, PO106FF might look a little bit more runny.



Cut:

They seem to have about the same cut. I used both of them but it still took about 2x passes to remove the light swirls.



Dusting:

Po106FA wins no doubt. It's not by a landslide, but i get about 1/4 the amount of dust that I get from PO106FF.



Ease of use:

Just about the same. You have to compromise from the dusting though. I find that I like to use the PO106FF better just because it's a PITA to wipe off the PO106FA when I'm polishing. It's very similar to SIP when you have to wipe off the oils. PO106FF does leave streaks from the oil but I rather clean that up later from a wash than have to scrub to remove the PO106FA.



That's it so far. Tools Used: LC 4" White CCS, Makita, Yellow MF from Costco, Meg's Final Inspection.

I like both and have both but as soon as both are gone I'll stick with Power Finish and Ultrafina

How do you like power finish? I can't can't get all of the swirls out with po106ff. I'm using a white pad too on a STI. =\

I thought the power finish did a great job in removing light swirls. I wouldn't agree with the description. It's nowhere near the cut of SIP. More like IP with a finish of 106FA. The same low dust. I used it on a red ford sportrac w/my flex and a white LC pad. While it didn't remove the bigger defects, all light to medium swirls were pretty much gone in one pass. The customer wanted a one step and wax, it worked well.
