Anyone know of any adverse affect to your paint when using Turtle Waxes Polishing Compound ?

 

it's abrasive and will remove some clearcoat. prolonged use will wear through clear coat into base coat. It works very well for removing fine scratches though when used sparingly. I used it when my car was keyed, actually started with the aggressive "rubbing compound" then the polishing compound, and then a nice coat of wax. The area is nice and shiny now...

 

I don't know about that exact compound but anytime you are using some type of abrasive rubbing compound you are removing layers of clear coat or paint. With enough use or a high speed buffer you could burn the paint. If you are applying it by hand you should be fine though. You'd probably wear your arm out before you rubbed through the paint.

 

Yeah this is gonna lead to my next thread . We'll see how many people can help me. I accidentally backed into my dads Altima... can you believe it ! I am Thirty and still get too excited when driving my car to check my blind spot well. I guess we'll all be kids at some point or another. I used Rubbing then polshing and the waxing also to get the hard scuffs out !

 

Wax will not get any scuffs out nor will turtle wax products. To safely remove those problems, you need to polish with a DA and some Optimum Compound and Optimum Polish or whatever floats your boat as far as abrasive products...I like those for how easy they are to use and how long they stay wet.
