ADBL FINISH PRO

PERFECT EFFECT

ADBL Finish Pro is a professional finishing polish engineered to deliver a flawless, mirror-like finish on even the most demanding paint systems. As the dedicated finishing compound in the ADBL Pro Line, Finish Pro is the final stage of a multi-step correction workflow, removing holograms, micro-marring, and the fine haze left behind after a cutting or polishing stage to prepare the surface for ceramic coatings, sealants, or waxes.

What makes Finish Pro stand out is its formulation for soft and sticky paints, the kind of finishes that mar easily under more aggressive compounds and demand a polish that finishes down cleanly without leaving its own defects behind. The thicker consistency of Finish Pro, combined with carefully selected ingredients, delivers a longer working time than typical finishing polishes, giving experienced detailers the control needed to bring out maximum gloss and depth on paint systems that are notoriously difficult to refine.

The water-based, polymer-free, silicone-free formula contains no fillers, meaning what you see after wipe-off is the true corrected finish, not a temporary cosmetic improvement. This makes Finish Pro a trusted choice for concours preparation, high-end correction work, and any job where the true paint condition needs to be revealed before coating.

Finish Pro can also be mixed with Polish Pro to create a custom blend, useful when the paint requires slightly more bite than Finish Pro delivers on its own, or when fine-tuning the cut-to-finish ratio for a specific paint system.

Finish Pro is compatible with both rotary and dual-action (DA) polishing machines, and is best paired with soft foam finishing pads to achieve the cleanest possible final result.

What ADBL Finish Pro removes:

Holograms from rotary work
Micro-marring and fine haze left after a cutting or polishing stage
Buffer trails and pad-induced defects
Very light swirl marks on soft paints

Recommended pad pairings:

Soft foam finishing pad on DA: best result for refining soft paints and final-stage refinement on any paint
Foam polishing pad on DA: light correction with refined finish on medium-hardness paints
Foam finishing pad on rotary: experienced users finishing down on hard paints

Finish Pro vs Perfect Finish:

Finish Pro is the Pro Line finishing polish, designed for soft and sticky paints where finish quality is critical and working time matters. Perfect Finish is the Basic Line equivalent, with a thinner consistency designed for easier use across multiple paint types. Choose Finish Pro when working on premium or one-off correction jobs where the soft paint will not tolerate a more aggressive polish, or when you need extended working time. Choose Perfect Finish when running production work across multiple cars where ease of use and consistent results matter more than working time. Finish Pro can also be mixed with Polish Pro for a custom two-product blend.

Directions for Use

Preparation:

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure even distribution of the abrasive.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly washed, decontaminated, and dried before polishing.
Mask off rubber trims, plastic trims, and badges to prevent staining and product accumulation in edges.
Work on a cool surface, out of direct sunlight, in a shaded workshop or covered environment.

Application:

Apply 4 pea-sized drops of Finish Pro to a clean, unprimed soft foam finishing pad for a 40cm x 40cm working area.
Spread the product across the panel at low speed with the machine off-trigger or on minimum speed to avoid sling.
Work the product at a finishing-appropriate speed and pressure. Standard guideline: rotary at 900 to 1500 RPM, DA at speed 3 to 4, with light to moderate downward pressure.
Work the product through 4 to 6 passes per section, slowing the machine speed on the final pass to refine the finish.
Wipe the residue off cleanly with a plush microfibre towel.

After polishing:

Inspect the panel under multiple light sources to confirm a hologram-free, mark-free finish.
Degrease the paint with a panel wipe or IPA solution to remove any oils and confirm the true corrected finish before applying a ceramic coating, sealant, or wax.
Apply your chosen protection within a reasonable window of finishing to prevent the freshly corrected surface from picking up new contamination.

Best practice tips:

Use a clean, soft pad. Even a slightly contaminated finishing pad can introduce marring on soft paints.
Reduce pressure on the final pass to let the polish refine the surface rather than continue cutting.
Do not let the compound dry on the surface. If working time runs out, add a small mist of water or detailing spray to extend the cycle.
Test on an inconspicuous area first to confirm the correct pad and machine combination for the paint being worked.

Safety:

Repeated skin exposure may cause dryness or cracking, and the product contains a preservative that may cause an allergic skin reaction in sensitive individuals. Wear nitrile gloves during prolonged use. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children. Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available on request.
