I purchased this today and used it on a 1995 Acura Integra with the original Milano Red paint. The car had not been polished or waxed in over 5 years, but was washed around every 2 months. The hood showed oxidation as did the spoiler but all other areas were still glossy. The vehicle has a ton of scratches and has been keyed over the years. I did not know what to expect when I used this product. I had figured the hood to be at a point of no return. I applied the product with an applicator by hand with long straight strokes. After I covered the desired area, I wiped it clean with a soft microfiber cloth. I decided to do the entire vehicle and followed up with a wax. It took me about 2 hours. I am very pleased with the product. It restored a natural lustre to the hood, bringing it to the near glossy finish on the front fenders and sides. I figure with an electrical buffer, I could have gotten even a deeper clean of the hood as I can still see some oxidation.
Some say that this product is too potent, resulting in swirls or streaks. I think this may be true on finishes that are already pretty good. In my case, the paint was already weathered and chalky, and being original paint, I think it is more durable than non-OEM paint and stands up better to polishing compounds.Get more detail about Turtle Wax T-417 18 Oz Premium Polishing Compound.
