"This item is great by hand, and I used it on a polishing mop also as good. This product is a fraction of the price of G3 and equally as good. Obviously if using a mop care needs to be taken not to over do it and if your're not sure on using a mop i would stick to doing it by hand as the result could be a respray!
Highly recomended"

Pros: a good quantity for the price., it works!
"I bought this compound to try to remove a bad paint job that had been on the car for almost a year. It took a lot of elbow grease, but the compound removed the paint completely to reveal the original paint underneath. This is an excellent product, you get a lot for your money and I can't praise it highly enough."

Car Make VX Vectra C
"I reserved this product online, upon arrival at my local store my order was ready for collection I paid and went home and got to work!
I purchased this to blend some newly sprayed areas on my car with the original paintwork.
Having done this with ease I decided to test the limits of the compound by refurbishing my headlights. All I can say is Wow!
This and a polish with megs plast-RX and they are like new!
Ended up washing the car and treating every panel she has, to a mirror finish all with one tube!
It removes all minor scratches and swirls with ease!
Superb!"

"Purchased a new spoiler which needed painting for my daughters new car. Had never sprayed before and I surpose it was not the best quality job but after a good rub down with this and a good polish with CarPlan T-Cut Colour Fast White there was no way you could tell that it was not a professional job. Was also very surprised when I collected the item from the store after ordering it on line as I was expecting a small tube, but this will last for ever."

Pros: does what it says good for car paint work
Cons: be prepared for a lot of rubbing
"Used this to remove some clear coat overspray, worked very well. Did this by hand and required a fair bit of rubbing however the finish was nice and smooth. Finished the job with T-cut metallic and the repair is all but invisible. Would use it again."

Pros: makes existing paintwork loo new again
"Iused this on some car repair work, a truck tailgate. It takes out all the minor defects and blends the existing paint into the new spray work. I used a spray can to match with excellent results using this product. I T-Cut the paintwork after the Rubbing Compound but really it was not necessary, the RC was suffice.
I did the whole trucks paint work after the repair and it looks brand new.
Great for guitars too poly or nitro finishes!"
Excellent!!"

i must say that it does leave a nice shiny finish so i would recommend it for the very small price you pay."

Pros: cheap and you get a lot of it.
"Good quality rubbing compound will blend in new paint no problem. Will remove small bumps in paint but for serious orange peel I found paint needed sanded with 1500/2000grit wet and dry first. Good for removing small scratches in paint and clear coat too when tcut wouldn't."
