3M Super Duty Rubbing Compound, 05954, 1 Quart

I know its made for automotive applications but I purchased to polish epoxy and it worked great it was easy to use and removed all the sanding scratches and left a glossy finish

Car maintenance is somewhat of a relaxing hobby for me and while waxing or even mild abrasives can make the painted surface shine, I wanted to give a car that I was selling that almost new look. I had tried other products available in the car cleaning aisle but I had some deep scratches they could not touch. So I purchased an orbital buffer, hook and loop disc, and a set of foam pads and tested the 3m product. WOW what a difference. The scratches were gone and I followed the 3M application with a series of Pinnacle products with successively less abrasion until I applied the wax. I was impressed....and so were the buyers of the car. If my first experience was not enough, my daughter decided to remove ice and snow from her new car with a plastic ice scrapper. Apparently, I never told her that a tool meant to remove ice from glass just might damage the finish on her car. What a mess. I thought there was no way these would come out, yet following the 3M application, all scratches were gone. I was very impressed....AGAIN. In fairness, if the scratch you are trying to remove is extremely deep (to the point of removing paint), no polish is going to fix that but if it is confined to the clear coat, I have not used a better product. Buy good pads, clean them occasionally, follow directions, and you should not have issues.

Heavy, quick cutting. Not for use of a novice unless you have a full understanding how fast your buffer and this product can burn thru the edges of your paint. This 3M product has a very specific job and is very good at it hence the name "Super Duty". If you are worried it will cut to quickly there are less aggressive 3M products available

Works really well. Just kind of spendy

This stuff is expensive but I used to use it years and years ago to bring back a shine on the hull of a boat after a repair. I bought it for small jobs that I wanted to try it on my heavily oxidized headlight lamps on my 2011 Camry. I was shocked at how good it did was just about a teaspoon of compound per headlamp. Using a cordless 4 inch buffer I was able to bring them back to about 85 - 90% of new looking. Not bad for 10 minutes of work to erase 15 years of sun and road abuse.

This compound is very abrasive and works well for heavy duty scratches. It will leave light scratches that you must remove with further compound obviously! Great product, thank you.

Used this to cut the crud and black paint overspray off a white truck. The pictures are before and after 1 pass. I tried some Meguire's cutting compound before this, and it did absolutely nothing. I squirted some of this on there, hit it with the buffer and it erased the crud. The after picture is after maybe 5 minutes of buffing. I was not done yet, it was a quick pic I took to send to a friend who said that the overspray was never coming off. To finish it up, I made another pass with the Super Duty compound, then moved onto a polishing compound, and finished with wax. It looked pretty good when done. It is an old truck, there are chips and nicks in the paint. It is never going to be perfect, but it looked MUCH better when it was finished. Other reviewers have noted that this is a very messy product. They are not kidding, it makes a huge mess. However, if you need to cut gakk out of paint, this is the product for the job...just be careful, if you get too aggressive with the buffer, you will probably eat thru the paint....this stuff is gritty!

Car was parked for days at a time in the same spot and a film of dirt from soot, gardening and trees built up and dried flat on the car paint, seemingly eating away at the paint. The gooey liquid wiped it right off and left a shine. The carwash would likely have been inadequate on its own. So this occasional step is necessary. Then I wiped on an expensive wax I had also purchased here, at Amazon, and the resulting shine was amazing. For the next few weeks just a quick rain was enough to clear away soot build-up. Small bucket of water and microweaved cloth sponge was all that was needed. And rubber gloves, also. Easy to apply and excellent value in a large easy-to-store container. Scratches needed to be sanded but then also spray on a little clearcoat if you sand.

finally got to use it, after watching a youtube video, it brought back the colour of the fibre glass boat easily - removing all the contamination and oxidation. Very happy

Muy buen producto, es granuloso y no es muy lubricado pero corta bien..

El envase nos llego un poco golpeado pero todo el contenido en su lugar

The best

works well on heavier scratches
