User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used on metalic car paint
Answer:	It is not recommended because it depends on the condition of your clear coat. We recommend Star brite Premium Cleaner Wax which has a light abrasion and superior protection in one step. Additionally, Star brite Cleaner Wax was independently tested as one of only 2 cleaner waxes / polishes on the market (27 tested) to still bead water after a full year. https://www.amazon.com/Star-brite-Premium-Cleaner-PTEF/dp/B00144AQS2 Note. For clean surfaces without oxidation, Star brite Premium Marine Polish uses the exact same polymer protection as the Cleaner Wax without any abrasion. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000AYB18
Question:	Could you use it on plastic chairs
Answer:	Yes, please call our Tech Line at (800) 327-8583 for more information and suggestions.
Question:	Would you recommend this product to remove oxidation from a aluminum jon boat
Answer:	For aluminum I would recommend our Aluminum Polish, specifically formulated for aluminum.
Question:	can i use this on my fibergalss kitchen table top that has scratches
Answer:	Yes you can. However depending on the severity of the scratches it might be best to wet sand and then use this compound.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used on a car and will it remove water spots
Answer:	This is more of a gelcoat/polyester clear reviver. Light detergent soap should remove most water spots, unless caused by moisture/heat damage. Is so, a light sanding plus/or heavy cutting paste rubbing compound should do the trick.
Question:	Is this effective for mineral deposits on boat
Answer:	If by mineral deposits you mean rust, then yes. Not all fittings are 316 SS and those that are not tend to bleed a bit. But I have found this product will clean it up. And if you follow up with Collinite 850 metal polish on the offending fittings it will reduce future rust bleed.
Question:	What color is this compound? red or white? Thanks
Answer:	White. Great stuff.
Question:	Would it work to clean very dirty white boat fenders
Answer:	I have never tried that but it sounds like a good idea. A suggestion might be an automotive white wall cleaner if you could find one.

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.

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!

Answer:	Easy to use just like the label states, just cleaned the surface well and made sure it was dry. Rubber the the product on with a clean lint free rag, the rag will get hard once the product dries so it will be a throw away. But the dash of my 1991 SeaRay looks almost new now!! It had really bad fading dark grey gel coat which was almost white in spots
Question:	Will this work on a fiberglass, thirty year old golf cart that was once white
Answer:	Since , it's a thin coat that penetrates the gel coat, it's not a another layer of product sitting on top. No chipping and I have not had any yellowing on the white gel coat sections and on the dark green section the color comes back every time.

Question:	can this be used on painted metal outside window frames
Answer:	I can't really answer the question. There is no specific mention of the ingredients other than "neatsfoot oil". You might call the listed company - Implus Footcare, LLC - USA at 800-446-7587 or email at [email protected].
Question:	Did you need a cleaner next
Answer:	Thank you for your question. Yes, you can apply it safely on bibles. Please make sure that the area you are applying is real leather. Also, please ensure that the article is clean and dry before applying leather preservative. You can apply it with a dry clean cloth and allow the bibles to dry for a few hours and buff.
Question:	I have flaking + very oxidized gel coat on my old 1971 sailboat. Will this help rejuvenate the color+ add shine? Will Ineed to add more gelcoat after
Answer:	Great question, thank you. Natural leather fades over time because of wear and tear. This is normal. Using Care & Cool Leather Preservative will protect, nourish and revitalize your leather article to bring out its original charm and character and help your leather re-gain its vividness. Some darkening might happen. The darkening depends on many factors such as 1. how much of the product is applied 2. the color of the leather article 3. the type of the article. That's why we recommend that you test it on a small area. On the other hand, darkening is temporary because your leather article will fade over time. When that happens you can re-apply Care & Cool Leather Preservative.
Question:	can this be used for oxidation on clearcoated wheels
Answer:	Yes, several of my leather bound books have gold leaf lettering and I used this on each of them. No problems whatsoever.

User questions & answers

Question:	How thick is it
Answer:	It is a fairly thick cream like many equivalent compounds. Not sure why you are asking but it is very easy to work with.
Question:	How does this work with a mf cutting pad? Or am i better off with the m
Answer:	It'll work without issue. Follow with 210 and a foam pad to remove the slight marring it will leave behind.
Question:	First 105, then 100 and 101, and now this? How does it compare
Answer:	Similar in aggressiveness but definitely the easiest to work with and least dusting. Fine tuned for application with a DA Polisher. This is now the best compound we make. It will leave the nicest finish and is easiest to work with. Follow with the new M210 for and incredible shine.
Question:	How does this compare to Meguiars ultimate compound, is it stronger
Answer:	At first it didn't do the job I wanted, remove swirls/microscopic scratches, but I was using the wrong pad so I switched to a cutting pad and Viola, paint looked great. It really isn't that aggressive, I don't know why they gave it such a high cutting value but whatever. I like it much better than 105. Ultimate compound really doesn't cut much at all IMHO. Try it and see what you think, that's about all I can say

User questions & answers

Question:	What grit of sand marks does this product remove
Answer:	Used 800 and it removed with no problems
Question:	What is the grit of this product
Answer:	There is not universal standard for the measurement of grit in a compound like there is with sand paper. That being said this is a safe but aggressive compound used to remove some pretty serious defects in gel coat and fiber glass surfaces. Used as directed with a rotary buffer it would easily remove 1200 sanding marks. Hope that helps. If you need more detailed help with your particular job please feel free to give our Solutions Hub a call at (800) 347-5700.
Question:	Trying to smooth out the area were the factor stickers were at, if you look the boat you can see the image still. Ive used compound 49 with no luck
Answer:	I think that is a little more than this product is capable of. I would expect you would need to wet sand to get the sticker image to go away. Not as difficult as it sounds but a fair bit of work since you would likely need to do the whole boat to get a consistent color. Upside is that will remove any small scratches you may have.
Question:	what buffing speed is recommended for this product
Answer:	Under the assumption you are using a high speed rotary buffer we would typically suggest this be used between 1500-1700 rpm.
