Answer:	Pink dots

User questions & answers

Question:	How many square feet will 32 oz. treat
Answer:	Depends upon how badly the finish is oxidized. I have a Cobalt 262 and one bottle was enough. However, it was not badly oxidized.
Question:	How coarse
Answer:	Hi Devon! Thank you for your question. The 3M 09006 Marine Restorer & Wax is a two-in-one formula designed to remove oxidation and scratches of P1000 or finer, leaving a high gloss shine with deep, vibrant color.
Question:	Is this wax white or beige? Thanks for any help
Answer:	It will work on any color surface. The actual color of the wax is white, but when buffed out itll be clear.
Question:	Is a buffer needed 9or ok to apply by hand? Have a Ryobi 2 speed buffer. I want to apply to lighly oxidized red fiberglass boat while in the water
Answer:	The buffer makes it a bit easier on your elbow! :) but I was not very happy with my boat results with this product. Still looks about the same as any wax would...still looks oxidized!

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone used an electric polisher with this
Answer:	This polish can be applied/removed by hand or with an electric buffer.
Question:	Can I use it on my car
Answer:	It works great on cars, easy to use and lasts for a while.
Question:	how to apply
Answer:	Before polishing, wash surface to remove grit and dirt (we recommend Star brite Boat Wash or Star brite Sea Safe Biodegradable Boat Wash). Shake bottle well. Apply evenly with a clean cloth to a small area in a circular motion while polish is wet. Star brite Premium Marine Polish will quickly dry to a haze. Wipe off haze using another clean, dry cloth. For best results, apply a second coat within 30 days. Two applications will provide exceptional protection against fading, chalking, rust, corrosion and general degradation. Oil, dirt and salt will not stick to the super slick surface and can usually be washed off with boat wash and water. NOTE: If surface to be treated is faded, chalking or oxidized, first use Star brite Premium Cleaner Wax to restore the finish."
Question:	So is this a polishing compound too
Answer:	Best I found. Our boat was several seasons low on wax, so I first waxed the 23 ft cuddy which knocked the oxidation off. That didn't give it quite the shine I was looking for. I put this on last March 2015 and it still beads water. fishing trips all summer in florida marine environment and sun. Great product. Did bottom of boat also, seems to improve fuel economy also. But you need to get the one step wax compound before this product goes on. Polish won't remove oxidation like the one step wax will.
Question:	I own a black challenger. do you recommend this product. Or is there something else that has a better bang for your buck
Answer:	Depends on how frequently you want to wax, and what other products you use. If you're willing to do clean, clay, polish, glaze and wax every 30-60 days, you'll love the result.
Question:	How many percent by volume is the wax content
Answer:	PBMG doesn't publish percentages but this is a very pure wax. Only minor finishing oils but no additives, polymers, or anything synthetic goes into this wax. It's legit...
Question:	Does this wax conceal swirls, minor scratches and other imperfections? ... or does it simply shine
Answer:	For swirls and minor scratches, you'll want to use a Polish to remove those minor flaws. After, use this wax where u polished, it'll make it shine. Especially if it's a black or red vehicle.
Question:	how many onces in the$ 79.99 Pinnacle Souveran natural brillance paste wax
Answer:	It will do a Vette 25 times‼️GREAT BUT it’s only a SHOW WAX in the sun burns off quickly especially in AZ👍‼️

User questions & answers

Question:	Which meguiars pad should i use with this product on mild oxidation on gel coat. ie, dff? cutting pad? polishing pad
Answer:	First, if you have moderate oxidation you should consider a dedicated compound like our M49 Oxidation Remover rather than a cleaner/wax. After you remove the oxidation then you can follow with your wax of choice. To answer your initial question we would typically recommend using a yellow polishing polish pad or black finishing pad when applying a cleaner/wax by machine. If you choose to only use a cleaner/wax and do not precede with a compound you should use the yellow polishing pad.
Question:	Is this the same as the regular mequiars cleaner wax that sells at walmart for $6.54 or is the Flagship an improved version of the Cleaner Wax
Answer:	I'm assuming you are looking to apply this to a boat, if so, this is a far better product. It was designed for Marine use and automotive wax (Walmart one) just doesn't last as long on boats and leaves a residue which can be a pain to get off Gel Coat. But If you are going to be applying wax to your car I would go for "Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba Plus paste wax", pretty decent product for the price.
Question:	is it safe to use on newer cars
Answer:	No, flagship products are made for Marine/Trailer applications with a Gel Coat.
Question:	can you apply with a power buffer on plastic casitas trailer
Answer:	I have a Casita/17 foot Liberty standard vintage 2010. It is stored outside uncovered from. may thru October.I use this polish with all kinds of Daul Action buffers six inch thru ten inch. I also use an 10" Makita rotary buffer with the polish as well as a Daul Action Cyclo Pro polisher. To answer your question yes you can use all kinds of power buffer with this product. If the gel coat is in chalk conditionI use marine based 3M rubbing compound first then follow up with Meguiars Cleaner polish and top coat with Meguiars Flagship Premium. Final application product is a professional product found on the net: Banana Magic. Good on the Casita as well as your car.
