That staged process makes sure any polishing marks left after the most aggressive step are fully removed by the following stages before you seal the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay-to-day from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Only reach for the UltimateCut where the damage really calls for it — too much cut on thin paint pulls off more material than you need and puts the clear coat at risk. Take paint thickness readings before you start, so you've got enough material for the full multi-stage job. Start with a hard, abrasive pad (wool pad or hard foam) on the rotary at medium speed (3–4). After the UltimateCut step, check the panel for leftover polishing marks and carry on with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish\u003c\/a\u003e as the next stage.

Swap the pad between stages — you don't want abrasives from different stages mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUltimateCut abrasive tech — what \"6+\/3\" and \"up to P1000\" mean in the polishing process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe „6+\/3\" and „up to P1000\" labels in the spec sheet of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut\u003c\/strong\u003e tell you a lot about where it sits and what it's for. „6+\/3\" describes its abrasive position in the SONAX polish hierarchy: higher numbers mean more aggressive cut. With „6+\/3\" the UltimateCut sits at the top end of that scale — the first three digits describe the cutting power in use, and the format is a specific Sonax in-house classification method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe „up to P1000\" figure is the spec that matters most day to day: it tells you the UltimateCut can fully level the sanding marks left by P1000 paper. P1000 is a medium-coarse grit (particle size about 18 microns) that's typically the first grit you reach for when wet-sanding out paint runs, orange peel after a respray or deep scratches. Marks that deep are too much for fine correction polishes (NP 03-06, PerfectFinish) — they need the cut of the UltimateCut to bring them down to a level the following stages can work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe abrasives in the UltimateCut have a controlled particle size that delivers the heavy correction without cutting uncontrolled deep scratches of its own. Modern compounds often use abrasives that break down into smaller particles as you work them — this „diminishing abrasive\" effect means the polish is very aggressive at the start (coarse particles) and gets milder towards the end of the pass (broken-down, smaller particles). That reduces the depth of the polishing marks left behind and makes the next stage easier. The UltimateCut formula uses that principle to leave a surface after the correction step that you can take on with a medium-cut polish or straight to the PerfectFinish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lubrication of the UltimateCut formula plays a decisive supporting role: a cutting compound doesn't just have to be abrasive, it has to feed the pad enough lube so the machine's mechanical energy turns into abrasion under control instead of heat. Dry formulas cut well for a moment but overheat fast, and with too little lube they can leave dry-buff marks on the paint. The UltimateCut is balanced between cut and lubrication so it holds up over long passes at full tilt. On big vehicles (SUVs, vans, heavy saloons) that balance matters even more, because the whole job takes considerably longer than on a compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to watch with high-cut compounds like the UltimateCut is heat input: heavy cut under machine work builds serious heat where the pad meets the paint. Overheated paint can burn (orange-brown discolouration), soften, or crack from thermal stress. So: rotary at a moderate speed, enough product on the pad (lubrication keeps the heat down), and check the panel temperature regularly between passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the UltimateCut properly — machine, pad and the multi-stage process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with a cutting compound starts with the machine: for maximum cut on deep scratches and P1000 sanding marks the rotary polisher (single action, SA) is first choice — it gives you more torque and more material removal than a dual-action. If you only have a DA, go for a hard foam pad or a hybrid wool pad and several intensive passes — the result is fine, just slower than with the rotary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePad choice: the UltimateCut wants hard or medium-hard abrasive pads (wool pads, hybrid wool pads or hard foam). Soft finishing pads bring the abrasive performance right down and shouldn't be used with the UltimateCut. Clean the pad of old polish residue with a pad washer or a towel before you start — particles from a previous stage still sitting in the pad can put scratches in during the UltimateCut step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrder of work: spread a small amount of UltimateCut over the pad, spread it at low speed, then run intensive overlapping passes across the panel at medium to high speed. The polish dries fairly quickly — at room temperature and normal humidity you work section by section. After the UltimateCut step: wipe the residue off completely with a microfibre towel and check the surface under correction light for leftover sanding marks. If P1000 traces are still showing, repeat the UltimateCut step. If not, move on to the next polishing stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the UltimateCut earns its keep — when you need maximum correction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eUltimateCut\u003c\/strong\u003e comes out when milder polishes are out of their depth. Wet-sanding after a respray: after paint work in a workshop or body shop, fresh paint often shows orange peel, runs or inclusions. Those get levelled mechanically by wet-sanding with P800–P1000. The deep sanding marks that leaves are the classic job for the UltimateCut as the first polishing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBadly damaged older paint: cars that haven't been polished in years, showing heavy swirl marks across the panels, deep individual scratches from the wash bay or oxidation, need maximum correction to get back to a presentable level of gloss. The UltimateCut is the powerful first step there, bringing the damage down to a level that correction polishes can refine further. On badly damaged paint you often need the full combination of UltimateCut + FS 05-04 + PerfectFinish + NP 03-06.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpot repairs and blending areas: with spot resprays the repair has to be polished out and brought up to the gloss level of the surrounding paint. Depending on the grit of the paper used, the UltimateCut is needed as the first polishing step. In transition and blending areas you go gentler, so you don't take too much material off the surrounding paint that's already in good shape — here you keep the UltimateCut strictly on the repair itself, not on the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCars with very thick clear coats (factory paint from the early 2000s or certain classic car resprays) will take repeated intensive work with the UltimateCut without getting into risky paint thickness territory. Modern cars with thinner clear coats (especially Asian brands and a few German manufacturers with special paints) need the abrasive energy dosed more carefully — one or two machine passes, then a thickness reading before you go on. That controlled approach isn't over-caution, it's professional standard for paint correction that lasts and doesn't compromise the car for future work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe UltimateCut in the polishing pyramid — position and combination strategies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX PROFILINE polish line covers a full abrasive hierarchy for every level of damage. At the top of the cut scale sits the \u003cstrong\u003eUltimateCut\u003c\/strong\u003e as the cutting compound, followed by the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-fs-05-04-schleif-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE FS 05-04\u003c\/a\u003e as the medium-cut correction stage.

That polishing pyramid lets you work any level of damage up in stages to a flawless gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailers and reconditioning outfits running the full PROFILINE polish system, the decision logic is clear: scratch depth decides where you enter the pyramid. Damage deeper than P1000 → UltimateCut to start. Damage between P1500 and P2000 → PerfectFinish to start. Fine swirl marks only → NP 03-06 or OS 02-06 as a single stage. Working systematically by level of damage is professional standard: it saves time and stops you over-polishing the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with third-party cutting compounds, the UltimateCut has the advantage of system compatibility as a PROFILINE product: it's matched to the PROFILINE stages that follow and leaves a surface after the correction step that those products can take on ideally. You can mix cutting compounds from other makers with PROFILINE finishing polishes, but then the particle sizes aren't guaranteed to line up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying the SONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut — sizes and what to pick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in 250 ml, 1 litre and 5 litre, plus 2-packs and 3-packs. The 250 ml bottle suits beginners and occasional users, the 1 litre is for regular professional work, and the 5 litre is for body shops and high-throughput polishing operations. A full paint correction on one car takes about 20–50 ml of UltimateCut depending on paint condition and vehicle size — so a 1 litre bottle covers 20–50 full jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UltimateCut belongs in the kit of every body shop and every detailer who offers paint correction after wet-sanding or heavy swirl removal as a service.

It pulls out sanding marks from P1000 in a single pass — a range lighter polishes simply can't reach.

Start at 1000 rpm to spread the compound out, then take it up to 1500–1800 rpm for the actual cutting. Work in rows with 50 percent overlap and lay down even, moderate pressure — the abrasives need friction, not heavy pressure. After each pass, check with an LED light whether the defects are fully gone before you move to the finishing step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCut 6\/4 — how the CutMax can take heavy paint defects out in one pass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e hits its high cut through a mix of specially sized abrasive particles and a formula that keeps the cut steady across the whole pass. Unlike basic cutting compounds, whose cut drops off noticeably after the first thirty seconds because the abrasives break down too fast, the CutMax holds its cutting power through the entire work cycle. In practice that means: one pass of two to three minutes per section is enough to fully remove even deep sanding marks — instead of the three or four passes you'd need with a weaker polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gloss level of 4\/5 shows the CutMax isn't a pure cutting paste but a cutting compound with controlled particle breakdown. The abrasives start out aggressive and break down into finer particles over the pass, which already take care of part of the finish. The result is a surface that's noticeably smoother and glossier than after a pure cutting paste — but not yet at the level of a dedicated finishing polish. For shops that need to get to a presentable result fast after wet sanding, that in-between stage is often already enough when concours quality isn't on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne important difference to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-cut-finish-einstufen-politur\"\u003eSONAX Cut+Finish (5\/5)\u003c\/a\u003e: the CutMax has the higher cut and comes in where the Cut+Finish doesn't pull enough material anymore — so with P1000 sanding marks, deep scratches and heavy weathering.

If you regularly tackle heavy correction, the rotary is the right investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003epad choice\u003c\/strong\u003e heavily shapes the result. For maximum cut, go for a hard foam pad (white in the SONAX colour system) or a lambswool pad. The lambswool pad gives the highest cut of all pad types but also leaves the roughest surface — ideal for the first pass on heavy defects, followed by a foam pad for the refinement. A medium pad reduces the cut and suits paints that need less correction, or sensitive areas like edges and creases, where too aggressive a cut could burn through the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor application, put three to four pea-sized dots on the pad and spread the compound across the panel at low speed. Then take it up to working speed and polish in rows with fifty percent overlap. Work in sections of around forty by forty centimetres — small enough to stay in control, big enough to make efficient progress. Listen to the machine: a steady hum tells you the pad is working cleanly on the surface. A rattle or vibration points to too much pressure or a clogged pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the cutting pass, wipe the compound residue off with a clean microfibre cloth and check the result under an LED light. If the defects are fully gone, the finishing step follows. If marks are still showing, repeat the pass — better a second controlled pass than a single one with too much pressure that can cause holograms or heat spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA common beginner mistake working with the CutMax: too much product on the pad. A cutting compound needs less product than a finishing polish, because the cut comes from the abrasives, not from the volume of paste. Three to four small dots are enough for a section of forty by forty centimetres. Too much product thins out the cutting action, drags out the pass and makes wiping harder. In pro shops, experienced polishers sometimes work with even less product — they make up for the smaller amount with precise machine control that gets the most out of the abrasive that's there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne important note on \u003cstrong\u003eheat control\u003c\/strong\u003e: the rotary builds serious heat when you work with a cutting compound. On dark paints the surface temperature can climb past seventy degrees in a few seconds — a temperature that can damage the clear coat. Check the temperature regularly by running the back of your hand over the surface. When it gets uncomfortably warm, let the section cool briefly before you carry on. On edges, creases and raised lines the heat build-up is especially critical, because the paint layer there is thinner than on flat panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrecting heavy paint defects — the ideal use cases for the CutMax\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main job for the \u003cstrong\u003eCutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e is defect correction after wet sanding with P1000 to P1200 grit. In the body shop that's the most common use: after a blend-in or spot repair, the transition between new and old paint gets wet sanded, and the CutMax then takes the sanding marks out in a single pass. The compound being silicone-free is key here — in a shop environment where paint goes on every day, there can be no silicone risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003ereconditioning badly neglected vehicles\u003c\/strong\u003e the CutMax shows its strength too. Paints that have been exposed to sun, bird droppings, tree sap and industrial fallout for years build up an oxidised layer that lighter polishes can't get through. The CutMax cuts that layer away efficiently and exposes the undamaged paint underneath. The result is often striking: colours that looked dull and faded show the full depth and brilliance of the original paint again after correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003enew-car reconditioning\u003c\/strong\u003e the CutMax comes into play too, when the factory paint shows heavy orange peel. A wet sand with P1000 levels the surface, and the CutMax brings the gloss back. This job takes experience, because the clear coat on new vehicles is often thinner than on older paint systems — a paint thickness reading before sanding is a must, so you don't break through the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003epartial PPF wraps\u003c\/strong\u003e on front ends the CutMax sometimes comes in indirectly: the paint under the film gets polished before the wrap to clear up any defects that would show through the clear film. The CutMax removes scratches and swirls fast and effectively, and the finishing polish after it leaves a flawlessly smooth base for the film to bond to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the CutMax hits its limits: on scratches that reach down into the base coat or the primer, no polish helps — here you need to respray the affected spot. The CutMax also can't replace clear coat that's already peeling over a large area. In cases like that it's better to be honest with the customer about the limits of polishing than to promise a result you can't reach. Honest communication builds the customer's trust over the long run far more than a cosmetic compromise that shows again after a few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCutting compound comparison — CutMax vs. UltimateCut vs. EX 05-05\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the SONAX PROFILINE range there are three products in play for heavy defect removal: CutMax, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-ultimatecut-schleif-politur\"\u003eUltimateCut\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-ex-05-05-schleif-politur-heavy-cut\"\u003eEX 05-05\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eUltimateCut (6+\/3)\u003c\/strong\u003e has the highest cut in the whole range — even higher than the CutMax. It's reserved for the most extreme cases: the worst weathering, P800 sanding marks, massive orange peel. The gloss level of 3\/5 shows that after the UltimateCut a finishing step is definitely needed — often even a two-step finish. The UltimateCut is the tool for specialists, not for daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEX 05-05 (5\/5)\u003c\/strong\u003e sits on the other side of the spectrum: the same cut and same gloss as the Cut+Finish, but with a different formula that works better on certain paint systems. It's the alternative for anyone who doesn't get the result they want with the Cut+Finish — for example on particularly hard ceramic clear coats, where the EX series has traditionally been strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCutMax (6\/4)\u003c\/strong\u003e sits between these extremes: more cut than the EX 05-05, but a clearly better gloss than the UltimateCut. For the bulk of heavy defect-correction work — wet sanding from P1000, deep scratches, heavy weathering — the CutMax is the optimal choice, because it gets the defect removal done in one step and keeps the finishing step after it short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying the CutMax — bottle sizes and workflow recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX CutMax\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in 250 ml, 1000 ml and 5 litres. The 250 ml bottle is enough for several complete vehicle corrections and is the ideal entry point for private users and smaller outfits. The 1000 ml bottle is the standard size for shops with regular polishing demand. The 5-litre container is aimed at high-throughput businesses — the per-litre price is lowest here, and the wide opening makes it easier to dispense with a dosing bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best polishing workflow we recommend the combination: CutMax as the cutting compound on the rotary, followed by the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PerfectFinish\u003c\/a\u003e as the finishing step on the dual-action machine, and finally \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/sonax-profiline-prepare-reiniger-kontrollspray-entfetter\"\u003eSONAX Prepare\u003c\/a\u003e for degreasing and result check. This three-step combo covers the whole defect-correction process — from heavy cutting to a finish that's ready to seal. Anyone who wants to lay down a long-term sealant afterwards already has the perfect base with Prepare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn shelf life and storage: like all cutting compounds, the CutMax can separate slightly if it sits for a while. Shake the bottle thoroughly before every use until the consistency is homogeneous and creamy again. Store the product frost-free and sealed — frozen compound loses its abrasive structure and is useless after that. Stored properly, the CutMax keeps its full performance over the whole shelf life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA closing practical note on the \u003cstrong\u003ecost-effective use\u003c\/strong\u003e in the shop: the CutMax has a higher per-litre price than consumer polishes from the DIY store, but the product consumption per vehicle is much lower. The concentrated formula means you get by with three to four dots per section — a 250 ml bottle lasts for several complete vehicle corrections. Measured by result per euro spent, the CutMax is therefore more economical than cheaper alternatives that need double or triple the product and still take more passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":53520611148111,"sku":"D1-SNX-2461410","price":19.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":53520611180879,"sku":"D1-SNX-2463000","price":60.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":53520611213647,"sku":"D1-SNX-2465000","price":229.43,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2x 250ml set","offer_id":53520611246415,"sku":"D1-SNX-2461410_2","price":38.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 250ml set","offer_id":53520611279183,"sku":"D1-SNX-2461410_3","price":58.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 1 liter set","offer_id":53520611311951,"sku":"D1-SNX-2463000_2","price":120.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3x 1 liter set","offer_id":53520611344719,"sku":"D1-SNX-2463000_3","price":181.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur.png?v=1730650207"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.be\/en\/collections\/schleifpolituren-kanister.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
