P0203s Vs 106ff

I plan on placing an order today with Detailed Image. Seeing as how they have the Power Finish on sale today for only $29.99. My question is would it be worth my while to purchase BOTH Power finish , and 106ff? Being i haven't used either of them before, im not quite sure how similar they really are . Would Power finish yield the same results as SIP( The more i read the more i confuse myself on which to purchase). Thanks for the help

If the car I'M polishing is a lighter color car, I could just use PO203s to get rid of swirl and light scratches. If it is a darker colored car I would follow up with 106ff to finish the job. Darker colors I always finish up with the fine polish.

Sip is just a more aggressive polish then PO203s. It all depends on how bad the paint is. You alway start out with the less aggressive polish. Then if that doesn't work then you go to a more aggressive polish.

Hope this helps

PO203S has more cut than 106FF but finishes like 106FF which makes it great. I can finish with it LSP ready no problem. I'd go over it with PO85RD for best results though. I'd say getting both is completely useless. Pick one or the other. I'd strongly recommend you get PO203S though.

I'm with Spec, get the PO203 and don't waste your money. Buy some SIP while your shopping
