Review: This is a great product works very well in removing polish swirls I’ve used this on multiple occasions and had great results would not hesitate to recommend it It’s a bit expensive coming from the US but I still think it was worth it for me
Review: When I first bought Griot's Complete Compound, I wasn't really sure what to expect, I had low expectations. Little did I know that I was in for a big surprise, my first thought was I had completely wasted my money, because I already had Turtlewax light-duty metal polish compound which is white, and Turtle wax heavy duty red compound, which both of these products work and I mostly have no complaints but one. The light-duty TW compound was frustrating me, mostly because it was only good for light scratches and surface marks so I needed something else for heavy-duty scratches and that's where Grigots Complete compound comes in. Now ideally this is for glossy painted surfaces, but I had to see if those would work on chrome plated and other metal finishes to see what it did. After using it, I was pleasantly surprised, if you look at the pictures that I provided of a 1970s Schwinn stamped bottom bracket you'll notice there is a difference especially if you look at the third picture of the two keyed washers one says dull one says shiny. The shiny keyed washer is after I used compound and wax, whereas the dull keyed washer (granted this was cadmium-plated parts I was polishing) is what it already looked like with no polish or compound applied. Now as for if it is heavy-duty at first that was hard to say. But after using it I would say at least for polishing metal I'd say it's more medium-duty to heavy-duty. For glossy coated paint it would work great, I am sure, and I will test it on my 1965 Schwinn Deluxe Stingray I am repainting burnt coppertone orange after I apply a clear coat. As for metal polishing, it seems like it works pretty well and I couldn't be happier. There are some chrome-plated parts I want to try out next and see what the results would be, for the moment though I am very pleased with this product. For the price it seems a little steep for compound but obviously, there's a major difference between cheap compound that is more clay/playdoughy-like (not really sure how else to describe that), vs a more expensive compound that is more like cream or toothpaste consistency. Would I use this over Turtlewax? Yes and no, it depends if I need to remove light scratches or medium scratches. or if I want something more cream than clay-like, compared to turtle wax I will admit that it takes a lot more to clean up turtle wax because especially if it gets into spoke holes on a hub its a big pain in the butt, whereas Griot's actually does really well cleaning up with just water or soapy water especially if it's left to dry. Though I will clean it off with a damp/wet towel and I've never had issues. Really water isn't necessary as the user is supposed to use straight compound and then just wipe it off with a microfiber towel. Granted I have used an old bath towel and it doesn't seem to be a problem because I can polish it with like microfiber towel or rag. However, it is strongly recommended that you do not use a bath dish towel or paper towel as it leaves fuzz whatever it is called behind. However with an old bath towel that doesn't even do that I've never had an issue with it. Also, make sure you wear gloves as it does dry out the skin, and if you have sensitive skin always wear gloves if you're not using this on your car and you are polishing metal parts especially those with round shape surfaces like a handlebar and you're using an electric or battery operated polisher or a Dreamel is sure to wear goggles or a face mask as this will get in your eyes. The first time using this compound I used it with some polishing pad accessories on a Dremel I got some of it on my glasses which wasn't bad because when I cleaned my glasses later on I could see much better. It also says on the bottle not to use plastic or porous surfaces. So I won't be doing that. I would buy this again in heart beat, great stuff. I highly recommend it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a scuff from a piece of wood on the road. It didn’t penetrate the clear coat. Will this level it out like it was never there?**
A: From your description (“didn’t penetrate the clearcoat”), I’d say this will work for you. Two suggestions: (1) use an orbital buffer to apply this rather that trying by hand which tends to apply uneven pressure, and (2) I have had better success using 2-3 light pressure applications than trying to remove marks in one session.  Hope this helps!

**Q: 15 yr old vehicle, will this take water spots, etc off? Some tarnishes?**
A: Yes...if you use an orbital polisher.  I use the porter cable 7424xp with the orange chemical guys pad.  Place polisher on a number 4 setting.  may take a few times to get the water spots out, but you should be able to do a hood in 30 mins.

**Q: Can you use this on a windshield ?**
A: I certainly wouldn't because it will smear the glass with an oil-like based compound. I use a combination of Dawn, vinegar, and water to clean my windshield and glass.

**Q: Anyone use this on boats gel coat?**
A: Without question, 3M has the best product for boats gelcoat. Our 30 foot Tolleycraft has shined like new by using 3M products.
