Great product

Works really good, brought the paint back to life on my BMW. I used to use Meguiars M105 but tried this and found it leaves a lot less swirl marks. Light dust vs other brands. Cuts well with little effort. Does require maybe a little more work depending how bad your finish is. But overall highly recommended

The best polish, period.

Literally the ONLY polish I’ll use on my custom nitrocellulose lacquer guitar finishes. Excellent cut, and emulsifies to a fine rouge. For use with right angle polisher, AND by hand. The best polish!
