3M rubbing compound?

anyone had any luck with this? i used it and nothing seems to be any better. anyone?

I have used this on several occasions.

-After painting a fiberglass enclosure
-taking out scratches then dont break the base coat
-on my hood after wet sanding.

Think of it as sand paper. the step after 2k grit.

I use it in conjunction with 3M buffing compound.

Basically apply it with a good high speed random orbital buffer.

Take your time and do a small section (1-2ftX1-2ft)

On my hood I had to do 2 goes of rubbing and 2 goes of buffing.

Hope this helps!

I applied it by hand and gave me crappy results, then I applied it with my rotary buffer using the meguiars polishing pad and it turn out 100% better:tup:

I also have tried the turtle wax compound, but I recommend this over it.

Yeah, you would have to be pretty good at the fore-hand oscillation movement to attempt rubbing compound by hand. Lol

Think of it as sanding though. Rubbing compound takes of the top thin layer of w.e. your applying it to.

rubbing compound 3m brand plus power buffer works well. helps me remove oxidation before. also nice finish.

I like this stuff. I've used it to finish off a handful of projects automotive and otherwise- but I made the same mistake, tried doing it by hand first, then convinced the wife to let me get an orbital and haven't looked back since.

i used it one time at my uncles car lot and it worked really well.
