What I am about to say is based on my own opinion. I bought a bottle of System One and it was not given to me. I did two tests with system one, both of which were done on a '96 4Runner with single stage red paint. Both used same pads and same machine (Flex 3403) The first was on the hood of the vehicle. I compared S1 to 106ff since that seemed to be what everyone compared it to being a FP. So did passes with LC yellow pads and then with white LC pads. Doing the same amount of passes and same speed. I did about 10 passes with yellow pad then 10 passes with white pad. And my first conclusion is that S1 is better than 106ff in this arena, not by a land slide but enough to convince me to replace my 106 with S1. The second test was SIP and an orange lo pro pad, vs the 2 step S! of a wool pad and a white foam pad. I hit half a door with the SIP/Orange pad combo and it did remarkably well, not 100%, but good. Then I hit the other side of the door with S1 and purple wool pad, then white lc pad... and well the side with the SIP combo was alot better, more shine and wetness, I then went over S1 side with the SIP combo, and it made better results. My conclusion is this, S1 is a good polish, but not great. If the abrasives are only one size then the polish must be pad dependant. And a pad can only do so much of the cutting, if you have deep scratches you need something to go before the pad to cut the clear coat, ie power gloss compound, with the heavy abrasives. Again, this is just my personal review of this product, take it for what it's worth. And ?'s are welcome, but I don't want to start a war of any sort.
System 1 is a new polish to the market. It claims that with S1 and their wool/foam pad combo you can effectively correct ANY paint imperfections on any vehicle with their single stage system
Phantom, this is System One. New line of polishes where only one polish is used for all types of correction, but it's 100% pad dependant.
Thanks for the writeup Dust. I'm waiting on my system1 kit as well and have heard good things about it. Can't wait to try mine.
well you wanna know what's messed up... I had a buddy who got some and he said it dusted like crazy, so he called in and talked to the inventor and the guy told him to mix in some of the spray wax or water to help with dusting... but if you add spray wax that would act like a filler would it not??? fishy
Hmmm, I think he meant use a QD or water, but that's just giving him the benefit of the doubt.:crasy:
