Really, it depends on the finish that you're working with...Most people use too much to start and then try to work a bigger section than they should. Small sections and small amounts works best for the DIY. Hope this helps some. One bottle did a F-350 Dually that badly needed it.

Not sure exactly, but you won't need more than a QT of this product - a little goes a long way and you will have some leftover in the bottle for sure. However, you really need to followup with another compound after this one. The 105 is very aggressive, and will remove scratches but isn't designed for a high gloss. I think they have a 205 you can finish up with, with a DIFFERENT pad. Try yellow for the 105 and white for the 205.

About 8-10 oz will do an average sedan with a 7" foam pad on an electric buffer, also depends on the condition of the paint.

Dr. Ann, I think this would work fine on applying and buffing off car polish. I used it to buff off wood floor wax on a butcher block table top. Use one pad to apply and a different one to buff. Thanks,John

Yes. Once the mineral oil is dry, sand with 220 lightly and apply salad bowl finish. Buff with 0000 steel wool or a white automotive polishing pad when dry. Re apply and buff until you get the luster you want. Most likely 3 coats.

It really depends on how bad the finish is on your ring. A little does go a long way, but for the average ring without hard to polish grooves, I would guess 5-10 times. However, if you use a lot of compound per polishing session, the estimate would go way down. Hope that helps.

No, I didn't use one. A good microfiber pad/towel is the best at buffing the wax out. That first over buffing towels if by hand. The only problem I had was knowing if I got all the wax off. White wax dried on a white car Do much more smaller sections at the time to make sure you got it all off

At least 3. I would do 2 or 3 coats. Prob 6 cans to do it right. Be sure to sand first.

ICE, 1st the Polish poured into a fine spray bottle like Griots, 3 spritzes ON PAD, apply, repeat, apply-til it starts to dry while applying, spritz. Followed by ICE wax, hard shell or spray. It's the ONLY stuff that lasts, as traditional waxes melt off as soon as it's warm enuf to. ICE is an "oil", which loves heat, & dries clear, filling in clear coat swirl marks with clear product. Also great on ALL vehicle surfaces & the ONLY 1 of maybe 15 all-brands I've tried on my black car that blows the rest away & doesn't "melt off". NOTHING ELSE EVEN COMES CLOSE.

For best result you need diferents pads an apropiate chemical, remember low speed is for buff, dont use more that # 5 to polish

Anything lower than 800 will probably take off a lot of material if you are prioritizing part tolerance. I used these to smooth out and polish handheld cast bronze pieces and they worked excellently. To get a very smooth and shiny finish, you'll need to go up to 1500-3000 grit and possibly use a polishing compound or jeweler's rouge to get a mirror finish.

There really isn't a formula for measurement. You want to put a thin a layer of wax in circular motion just enough to cover the surface. Obviously, you can put as much as you want- but be prepared to do some serious buffing. Thin layer will be fine. Less is more here For sure, especially if you (I assume) have a black car. You want to make sure you buff off all the wax.

I have no earthly idea. After owning a year, I can honestly say I got tired of the mess, and stopped using it. It's nothing about the product. It works as advertised. But oy, I got tired of all the polish mess, and the tough time getting it off my nails. Not worth it.

Yes... This can be applied by hand or with a polisher.... Thank you for asking. Eric

It's an all in one polish/wax. Honestly, I wasn't impressed by this. I stick with either menzerna power lock sealer or mcguiers marine wax as the last step after polishing with menzerna FG400 or SF4500. I'm not crazy about chemical guys polishes and compounds.

I'd seal then wax. Clay the car first, then may be polish, then seal then wax (if you're really sad like me that is :D )

I recommend by hand. This is very simple wax protection. Easy on and off IF your cars finish is in good condition (third and last step). This would be your last step after using Mother's polish and wax (second step).

not 100% sure on this, but what i can tell you is that its a pretty good product! i have a 1991 conversion van with a fiberglass roof. never been detailed before. after washing it, i applied this wax as directed and used a white cloth to remove. MAN, the gunk that came off. i couldnt believe it, with the minimum of effort. hand buffed, no machine. i used about half a bottle for it, so it goes a long way too. doesnt remove surface scratches like a clay bar, but it removes road grime like a champ. pretty much any meguiars products i have used worked well, so good luck. the price cant be beat either. not 100% sure on this, but what i can tell you is that its a pretty good product! i have a 1991 conversion van with a fiberglass roof. never been detailed before. after washing it, i applied this wax as directed and used a white cloth to remove.

Carolyn You just use just the diamond pads. Polish powders will gum. 3000 grit will get you a good shine. I'm a bit of an over achiever and put as high as 8500 to 10,000 on a marble eased edge.
