its cutting compound, so after using it you will probably need to t-cut it as well!

be careful if your using a mop with it as you can go through quite easily

its like a really fine rubbing compound/paste

just buy 1 tube of it and you will not need even half of it to do the car - takes ages and a lot of elbow grease, but its worth it in the end

and do not use G7 unless you want to highly polish your car as silver metal

im not gonna use a mop, i aint silly , im gonna touch up a few scuffs the cars gained and maybe even add the new doors and then give it a hand polish ( not what your thinking graceland )

then i gotta tcut it after

anything else rather than t cut as i hate that, i want a paste type stuff not liquid

G7 is intended for cellulose. Contains ammonia!

I use G3 and Autoglym Bodyshop 2B Ultrafine.

Finness is good,but its juts to take off swirls from a compound head..

Apart from that,its usless!!!!!!

As soon as it gets wet,it just runs off,and if you try to wax over it,it just takes it off...

Its MAIN use,if to polish blow-ins out by hand,or to try ans hide some thing..

I DO ADMIT that ive dun it at work to hit a FUCK UP ive done...

G3 to me is only worth using with the buffer - other than that takes fookin loads of elbow grease and the effects are minimal !

I think it's the 3M stuff I have, I don't actually know (my bro acquired it for me)
It takes scratches and marks out ridiculously easy, turned a yellowing pos into a gleaming white motor that everyone stared at, just by hand with a soft cloth, definitely recommended
