The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE FS 05-04\u003c\/strong\u003e is built exactly for that job — a medium-aggressive cutting compound with a cut grade of 5 and a solid gloss grade of 4 in the SONAX rating system. It's made for restoring normally weathered, lightly scratched paint, takes out sanding marks down to P1500 grit, and leaves a clean gloss that in many cases needs no second finishing pass. That makes the FS 05-04 a workhorse for the daily grind — especially where lots of cars need to be turned around economically and reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy cut with a solid gloss build at the same time.\u003c\/strong\u003e With a cut grade of 5, the FS 05-04 sits in the upper-middle of the SONAX PROFILINE compounds — aggressive enough to reliably pull out nagging sanding marks down to P1500, oxidation layers and fine-to-medium scratches. At the same time, the gloss grade of 4 leaves a clean, even paint gloss after the work — often good enough as the final result in used-car prep. That combination cuts the total number of polishing steps you need and pushes up the profit per car.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone-free, low-dust and odourless — professional working properties.\u003c\/strong\u003e The silicone-free formula guards against fish-eyes in later refinish work and makes the FS 05-04 a safe pick in a body-shop setting, where cars may go on to more bodywork after polishing. The low-dust behaviour keeps the working surface clean, makes the wipe-down easier and protects both the machine and the adjacent panel areas. The odourless character improves working comfort — especially in enclosed halls or when you're working through bigger batches of cars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for use with variable-speed polishing machines.\u003c\/strong\u003e The FS 05-04 formula is dialled in for variable-speed rotary polishers — a machine type widely used in the pro world that delivers high cutting power and even material removal. The paste shows its best behaviour at medium-to-higher speeds: reliable cut in the first phase, a controllable break-down point, and clean gloss as you work it out. It also works on dual-action machines, though the cut sits a touch lower there because of the lower downforce and different motion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e For used-car prep with the FS 05-04 we'd run it like this for repeatable results: work it panel by panel with a medium-firm foam pad on a rotary — 900–1200 rpm for normal cutting, stepping up to 1500 rpm for stubborn sanding marks. Lay the paste down thin over roughly a 50×50 cm working area, spread it slowly first, then work it out until the paste turns clear. Always do a test patch first — especially on unknown cars with possibly repainted panels or thin clearcoat. After the FS 05-04, one pass with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-np-03-06-hochglanz-politur-finish\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE NP 03-06\u003c\/a\u003e as a finishing polish is usually enough for a mirror-smooth high-gloss finish. On normally weathered paint without deep scratches, the FS 05-04 can often be run as a stand-alone solution too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe SONAX PROFILINE rating system — what 05-04 means and why it's key to picking the right compound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSONAX rates every PROFILINE compound on one consistent two-digit system: the first number is cutting power (abrasiveness), the second is gloss ability — each on a scale from 1 (minimal) to 6 (maximal). This system lets you place a product in your polishing workflow fast and clearly, without digging through the full product description. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE FS 05-04\u003c\/strong\u003e stands for a mix of high cutting power (5) and good, if not maximal, gloss ability (4) — the classic profile of a compound that corrects paint defects while leaving a presentable gloss behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practical terms, cut grade 5 means: the abrasive particles in the FS 05-04 are big and hard enough to reliably pull out normally weathered paint (oxidation, dull spots, baked-in dirt particles) and sanding marks down to P1500 grit. P1500 is a typical grit for wet-sanding as prep before polishing — if you've got to polish out wet-sanding marks, the FS 05-04 has you covered. At the same time, cut grade 5 stays controllable — with the right machine setup and technique, the risk of burning through the clearcoat stays manageable even on thinner paint, as long as you know the material's limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGloss grade 4 means: once the cutting compound is worked out, a clean, even gloss is left on the paint — clearly better than the untouched, oxidised starting state, but still with a faint hologram haze that shows up under direct light. That hologram haze is the typical signature of a compound, and it comes out fully with a finishing pass (say the NP 03-06 or the PerfectFinish). In used-car prep — where the end result often isn't inspected under studio lighting — gloss grade 4 is enough as the final result in many cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the FS 05-04 right — machine setup, foam pad and workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the \u003cstrong\u003eFS 05-04\u003c\/strong\u003e right starts with machine choice: for the best results, a variable-speed rotary polisher is the ideal tool. Rotaries generate high surface heat through their circular spin and a controllable material removal — ideal conditions for the FS 05-04's cutting particles. Recommended speed ranges: 900–1200 rpm for normal used-car prep (oxidation, weathering, fine scratches), 1200–1500 rpm for more stubborn sanding marks after P1500 wet-sanding. Higher speeds improve cutting power but also raise the heat input — a trade-off that takes experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoam pad choice: for the FS 05-04, a medium-firm foam pad (medium-cut pad) works best — soft finishing pads kill the cut too much, while very hard wool or microfibre pads push the cut up further, which can be risky on unknown paint. A proven middle ground is a yellow-orange foam pad in the medium hardness range, which gets the most out of the FS 05-04 without removing more material than you need. On dual-action machines (DA machines) you can pick a slightly harder pad to make up for the lower downforce of the DA action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep-by-step workflow: 1. Clean the paint (pre-foam, iron remover, tar remover), 2. Measure paint thickness (a paint depth gauge is recommended on unknown cars), 3. Work a test patch (one panel per side to dial in the machine setup), 4. Work panel by panel (roughly 40×50 cm working areas), 5. Check the result under low LED light (to make holograms show up), 6. If needed, a finishing pass with the NP 03-06 or PerfectFinish, 7. Seal the paint (polymer sealant or ceramic coating). Wipe the FS 05-04 off with a clean microfibre buffing cloth once it's worked out — don't let it dry and then scrub it hard, since dried compound residue can damage the clean finished surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant note on paint temperature: the FS 05-04 should be worked on paint surfaces between 15–30 °C. Paint that's too cold (under 10 °C) stops the abrasive particles from working in evenly; paint that's too hot (direct sun, summer heat) lets the paste dry out too fast and makes working it out harder. In summer, work in the hall or in the early morning hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsed-car upgrading with the FS 05-04 — typical damage profiles and results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main use case for the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE FS 05-04\u003c\/strong\u003e is professional used-car upgrading: cars with two to ten years of use, whose paint has lost its original gloss to UV exposure, wash-bay contact, mechanical effects and weather. Typical damage profiles where the FS 05-04 works best: oxidised, dull paint with a gloss haze; water spots that won't come off with a normal wash; fine-to-medium scratches from improper cleaning (car-wash damage, wipe marks); sanding marks after wet-sanding down to P1500 as prep for deep-scratch removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the FS 05-04 can't do: deep scratches that reach into the basecoat or primer can't be fully removed by polishing — polishing doesn't add material, it takes it off. If you want to remove heavy impact marks, parking dings or deep-running scratches, you've got to either prep with much coarser sandpaper (P800–P1200) and start with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ultimatecut-schleif-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut\u003c\/a\u003e for the heavy cut, before bringing in the FS 05-04 for the fine correction. This multi-stage approach is everyday practice at the used-car dealer or in the pro detailing shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor vehicle fleets and used-car dealers with high throughput, the FS 05-04 in the 5-litre container is especially economical: a consistent, repeatable result across many cars, combined with low paste use per panel (typically 3–5 ml for a 40×50 cm working area), makes the 5-litre container a cost-efficient tool in daily operation. On show and display cars, where the visual condition directly affects the asking price, running the FS 05-04 as a standard prep step is a sensible investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFS 05-04 in comparison — where it sits in the SONAX PROFILINE compound range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX PROFILINE compound range has a matched solution for every use case. Placing the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE FS 05-04\u003c\/strong\u003e in the range is directly comparable through the rating system: if you need an even more aggressive cut for deeper scratches or wet-sanding from P1000, you grab the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ultimatecut-schleif-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut 6+\/3\u003c\/a\u003e (cut grade 6+, gloss grade 3) — the highest abrasiveness in the range, but lower gloss ability that always needs a finishing pass. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CutMax 6\/4\u003c\/a\u003e sits with cut grade 6 and gloss grade 4 between the UltimateCut and the FS 05-04 — also for aggressive corrections, but with a touch better gloss than the UltimateCut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FS 05-04 at 5\/4 is the compromise product for the typical prep job — cut high enough for most used-car damage profiles, gloss good enough to skip a finishing pass in many cases. For people who want even better gloss alongside a solid cut, the PROFILINE Cut+Finish 5\/5 is an interesting alternative: same cut as the FS 05-04, but one step better gloss ability (5 instead of 4) — though at a higher price per litre. The choice between the FS 05-04 and the Cut+Finish comes down to whether you want to skip the final finishing pass regularly or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a follow-up polish after the FS 05-04, two picks make sense depending on the result you want: the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-np-03-06-hochglanz-politur-finish\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE NP 03-06\u003c\/a\u003e (cut grade 3, gloss grade 6) for a quick finishing pass with maximum gloss, or the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE PerfectFinish 4\/6\u003c\/a\u003e for cases where structured rework is still needed after wet-sanding. Both finishing polishes work the FS 05-04's holograms out fully and prep the paint for a final sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy SONAX PROFILINE FS 05-04 — container sizes, target audience and bottom line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE FS 05-04\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in three container sizes: 250 ml for first use, the test in the shop or the occasional single-car job; 1 litre as the standard container for regular prep of small-to-medium car volumes; and 5 litres for used-car dealers, car rental firms and detailing businesses with high throughput. Pick the container size based on how often you'll actually use it — compounds have a limited shelf life once opened, and an oversized container that sits in the shop for years loses effectiveness as the emulsion separates and dries out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho the FS 05-04 is for: professional vehicle detailers focused on the used-car business, dealers and shops that take cars in part-exchange and visually upgrade them before resale; car-wash businesses with a prep service; detailing studios after an economical compound for standard correction jobs, without having to set up a multi-stage polish for every car. For home users who want to prep their car once a year, the 250 ml container is enough — though running a rotary machine is a must to reach the specified cutting power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom line: the SONAX PROFILINE FS 05-04 is the right cutting compound when you want to correct in one pass and land a presentable gloss result. The mix of cut grade 5 and gloss grade 4, the silicone-free, low-dust formula, plus the choice of three container sizes make it a versatile tool in the daily polishing grind. If you want a product that runs economically, safely and repeatably in used-car prep, the FS 05-04 is a solid, proven solution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 1 liter","offer_id":57344960790863,"sku":"D1-SNX-3193000","price":39.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 liters","offer_id":57344960823631,"sku":"D1-SNX-3195000","price":158.27,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-fs-05-04_250ml.png?v=1774730669"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.it\/en\/collections\/feinschleifpolituren-medium-cut.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
