Great job. What brand of clear film?

Hi Phil... this looks great. When do you expect to have the Sonax compound and Polish available on your site?

Do you recommend using both Sonax products on Phantom Black s4 with light swirl marks?

I'm still waiting for an eta either 3rd or 4th qtr this year.

yes I would recommend the sonax but for now you may want to use

Menzerna SI1500 or SF4000.
