The formula stays workable longer on the surface—especially useful in warm or humid shops—yet clings to the pad to minimize sling. Combined with the appropriate foam polishing pads, it’s engineered to produce a consistent, high-gloss result across all colors without the hazing or holograms left by lesser polishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does Perfect-It EX reduce product usage during polishing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe polish’s extended wet time means you don’t need to reapply as often during compounding, so less volume is consumed per panel.
