Great product
3M products are the go-to in my opinion if you want a good quality product to use to polish whatever it is you need to give a good shine to. It did it’s job polishing the boat and bringing back the shine and cutting through the oxidation. Good value for the money also

Works as described, very pleased with purchase!
Quick delivery, product works as illustrated. Works well on restoring the gel coat finish on my boat. Also used it, on my motorcoach. Fairly easy application, took off the oxidation and added a nice clear shine. Great value for the money.Time will tell how durable it is. Another grade 3 product. Would buy from this dealer again.

Very easy to use with great results on a boat
This stuff gets the job done and quick! My boat fiberglass hull was pretty oxidized. I scrubbed it down with a grey scotch bright pad to get the chalk layer knocked down, then went right to this compound after it dried. Instantly I have a mirror finish on the hull. I used 7″ wool pad on my rotory on its lowest setting and it shines up in no time.

Excellent cutting polish and wax combo
3M makes a superior product. Apply to moist polish pad, slow speed to begin, then move to medium speed to finish. Move in all directions and overlap passes. You can use a spray bottle to moisten if need be during the application. Allow haze to develop and wipe off this first pass of polish with micro-fiber towel then use a fluffy woolen buff pad to develop a nice “see your face” in shine. If the oxidation is heavy to begin with and you’re not satisfied with the initial result, no worries, simply repeat the process. Patience is king when buffing out a faded, oxidized gel-coat or an old-fashioned lacquer finish. Do not run your buffer at a high speed using hard pressure. This is a mistake and you’ll stand a good chance of “burning” the finish. With gentle pressure, let the weight of the buffer do the work. Do not use this in the hot sun, you will not like the outcome. Enjoy the shade for a much better result. The 1QT size is the right choice and a much better value. Do not use this on a modern clear coat automotive finish.

Best on the market

Eine der besten Polituren für Boote die ich je hatte. Richtig gut wurde das Finish aber erst nach dem Wachsen vom gleichen Hersteller!
