Default 1Z polishes (pro-line)

how are their polishes? im thinking of getting the kit that DD has while they have their labor day sale. im thinking to get those polishes because they are cheaper than menz, and then i can use it as a back-up if menz acts up

Good polishes. They have a nice working time and are not finicky as 106FF or SIP. They are best used at RPMS under 1000. Therefore they are great for the rotary newb and the Flex users.

I've only used the High Gloss (Hoch Glanz), and it works well except on soft clears. 1Z High Gloss and Pasta Intensiv are ceramiclear rated...the High Gloss will leave soft clears looking very hazey with nasty compounding (yup.... *compounding*) marks. It works very well on medium hard and hard clears, though. It's definitely not a jeweling polish, though; expect a finish similar to 106ff and not 85rd or FPII.

It's also very finicky about pad RPM. Stay at or below 1k rpm. Anything faster, and it'll flash fast and glue itself to the paint.

Sounds like they have kerosene (flashes fast) and glycerin (cloudy and sticky when heated by buffer) in the formula
