About this product
A fine, diminishing-abrasive polish formulated specifically for hand pressure. It will soften light swirl marks and restore gloss on a dull panel over the course of a careful afternoon. Read this part twice: this product is for hand use only. Do not fit it to a rotary or dual-action polisher. Machine speed generates heat this formulation is not designed for, and burning through clear coat on an edge or body line takes seconds and cannot be undone by anything you can buy on this site.

How to use it
Step by step.
- 01
Wash, decontaminate and dry. Polish never goes on a dirty panel.
- 02
Apply three pea-sized drops to the foam applicator.
- 03
Work a 12 in × 12 in section in overlapping straight passes for 60 – 90 seconds.
- 04
Wipe the residue with a clean plush towel and inspect under a light.
- 05
Repeat once if needed, then protect with wax or sealant — polished paint is bare.
