## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kind of polisher or wax do I use after this product?**
A: If your paint is in good condition, go straight to paint sealant/glaze then wax. If your paint is in bad shape, use a swirl remover, then go to the paint sealant/glaze, then wax.

**Q: Does this work to take scratches and scuffs out of cars?**
A: It will take out scuffs and very light scratches, anything deeper but still in the clearcoat. but not in the colorcoat you can use ultrafine sandpaper and watersand the scratch out then use the compound to buff up the shine, you do need an electric or air powered buffing wheel though hand compounding will only work with light scuffing, machine buffing is always best and fastest.

**Q: Is this abrasive enough to "sand" down a touch up paint area?  I need to remove a little touch up paint to make the area even with the rest of the car**
A: Old question, but I thought I would answer this as I have experience in this. Yes, it can smooth out/sand down touch up paint. I used this very product to do that. When paint first dries it is softer still and this will do a good job. It will take a couple weeks for the paint to fully harden. In fact, some touch up paint pens recommend using a rubbing compound, like this, on a t-shirt or microfiber cloth material to smooth out the new job before applying a clear coat and repeating after that dries. If the job was let to dry for, say, 2 weeks you will encounter a new issue that will require 3000-4000 sanding paper before using this product followed by a polish after a clear coat.

**Q: Does this product (3M Compound) have a money back guarantee?**
A: I wouldn’t think so, not many auto chemical companies offer a money back guarantee. 
There’s no guarantee on the label of the bottle.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best products ever made.
*by T***R on September 13, 2013*

I have been a very loyal purchaser of this product for years. I've bought the Meguire's scratch remover, many polishes, many waxes. Nothing comes close.I live in a crazy beach environment. Thanks to tourists and drunk people the only parts of my 2009 Jeep Liberty than haven't been repaired and repainted are the hood, roof, and rear gate. It is constantly hit with car doors, inflicted with unexplainable scratches... but it's paid off, has been a good car, and I want it too look nice for as long as possible.A car wash put a four inch deep scratch in my hood. I have a new bumper swipe on the back from someone who couldn't parallel park, and there are deep scratches in the left painted plastic fender (maybe a bike?)This rubbing compound shined the scratch in the hood so it's barely noticeable. Sure there is a scar in the shine when looking at an angle, but the noticeable white scratch is gone. Same with the fender although the plastic took more work.The rear bumper cleaned up great. Oxidation from parking on the street in salt air is a breeze.I'm not a body technician so I wouldn't be comfortable using power tools with this. It's so effective by hand that with tools used incorrectly, I know it could burn right through the paint.It is exactly what you would expect from 3M and it works. It might not make some types of damage perfect but it's the best thing on the market for making it better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3M compounds are the best
*by J***. on March 28, 2012*

3M has the best buffing & polishing compounds if you know how to use them and have the right equipment. I have body shop experience so I know what I'm doing, but if you're not careful, you could burn through your paint. This is the fist step in either renewing old single stage paint or buffing out new clear coat that has been sanded with 1500 grit wet sandpaper. This is used with a wool or foam buffing pad. The next step is the 3M Polishing Compound used with the black foam polishing bad. This is a finer buffing and takes out the swirl marks left from the rubbing compound. Finally, I use 3M Imperial Hand Glaze. This is what professional body shops use and is the best method for buffing. I like this 8oz size because the only size at my paint supply shop is 32 oz. Good for a body shop but way too much for me. This small bottle goes a long way and will last me for a while. If you don't have a professioal variable speed buffer and the right buffing pads, this may not be the best choice. If you do have the right tools and the know-how, this stuff is great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast and easy headlight restoration! Great
*by S***R on April 27, 2020*

I used this to restore my headlights. Great value and easy to use. I was pleasantly surprised at how quick and easy this was to use and how well it worked. I had seen other products but they seemed complicated. And I didn't want to be bothered with all that.I used a rag, and some water (no power tools or buffing or tape) and to be honest very little effort or attention to detail Lol. It took just a few minutes. If you have patience and really work it or have a buffer you'll probably get even better results. (Or if your a guy Lol) I was very happy with the results and how simple and easy it was to get results. So far the restoration has lasted a several weeks. I definitely recommend you give it a try.
