Is this essentially just a kit with a tube of rubbing compound (similar to Meguiars m105) and a polishing compound just in very small quantities?

Yes. It comes with a tube of rubbing compound, a tube of polishing compound, two cloths, and several sand paper strips. That being said, I've used the tubes several times now, and probably have 75% left. A little goes a long way.

GreetingsI am not sure what your machined wheel is made of, however this kit will polish most materials. Of course the harder material (carbon steel, stainless steel (even harder)) these materials take a lot more time. Then there is how much you call "little". Surface rash?

Yes, like a 3M wool Buffing Pad.http://www.nationaltoolwarehouse.com/Perfect-It-III-Compounding-Pad-05719-9-P3349.aspx?gclid=CNj25om-kL0CFYRQ7Aod_EoA-Q

I got the 39045 kit and it has an extreme amount of protectant lol. I had enough that after i used the kit i wanted it smoother and i went and got a big 3000 grit pad from autozone for like 5-6bucks and did 2 really good layerings of the protectant. I definately suggest getting another 3000 grit or 5000 grit pad with the kit and use the extra pad after the kit.

Hello Johnny. What I can say is that this is an excellent polishing kit for multi purposes. What I can tell you is that "I" would not use the polishing compound that is included with this kit on a Tag Heuer Watch. Why.... because I think it can be a little to rough for the watch's band. I would use instead Flitz polishing cream that can be purchased on Amazon and works extremely well and is soft on the surfaces. The compound that comes with this kit is for stage one of cleaning and removing light rust and stains and smoothing out surfaces, but after use of the compound I would still finish it with Flitz Polishing Cream that will leave you a mirror like finish. Also keep in mine that Flitz also removes light oxidation on surfaces so you get the best of both worlds. It's the same principle as with a car's finish: you wash first, then compound when needed, and then finish with a good quality polishing wax. I personal will suggest that if you are going to try this, try it on the inside of the watch's band to see what your result will be. Another idea is to buy the Flitz Polishing Cream and try it with a smooth white cloth and some cream, then rub it to the shine you desire but this will require elbow grease and time. The kit will speed up the process for sure, but don't go to fast or heavy on the speed of the tool. One other thing, when using Flitz a little goes the long way. Some people put to much and when they use the kitpolishing wheels it goes all over the place. I usually dab a little and polish, if I need to do it again I do so until satisfied. If you like YouTube has videos of Flitz Cream in action, result are incredible. Good luck.

Tabatha - I don't recall exactly. Suffice to say it was worth the extra money for the kit. No, it's not all high quality, but I think it made the deal a bit sweeter. Hope this helps and sorry I don't have more for you!

yes, Micro abrasives allow the polish to cut fast and leave a smooth finish in fewer passes. Micro abrasives do not break down like diminishing abrasives, which gives #205 polish a long working time. Meguiars Mirror Glaze #205 Ultra Finishing Polish permanently removes swirls and light imperfections, leaving a smooth, reflective finish.

Yes but the whole kit is real small. It looks bigger in the picture. The stay clean flux last a long time if your not doing big jobs.

This kit comes with the 3000 grit polish tape, and it has produced a very nice polish for me. I'm not sure I would say it's a "mirror finish" with the 3000 grit, but it's darn close to my untrained eyes. I've only just started using the system, so it's entirely possible that someone with steadier hands could actually put on a mirror finish, whereas I'm still learning the technique. I just ordered the 6000 grit polish tape, actually, so I will try to come back and and update when I've given it a try.

On a newer car I would use the M205 Polish. The compound I use on correcting the paint. ie swirls, scratches, waterspots etc

I haven't tried to use it myself yet but my experience is with other kits of this sort is that should be a polishing compound to be used with the fiber polishing wheels. carefully try it as that if the need arises and my hunch is you'll find this to be the case.

The M205 is a polish. It is not as great as a product to remove heavy swirls. So if you have already decided to use the M205, you either have light defects or polishing to a fie finish. For that, use this with a foam pad. I would use the Lake Country White pad or similar. Using wool would be counter productive to the intention of a fine finish

they do enclose a small portion of a polishing substance with the kit. i usually just use my own tooth paste. a little goes a long way. i am sure if you want more of their agent you can buy some thru the company, although i never have or never tried to myself.

It's just labeled fine, medeium and course. The course removes a lot so I only use it for big chips and to reshape. The medium and fine are perfect for a good re honing. Not sure if this helps?

There isnt any abrasive powder in the mix. this product isnt used for buffing. its a sythetic sealer to fill in light scratches in the clear and also lock in the clear as well for a longer finish.

Yes. That is what it is designed for. Use a soft cloth and rub small amount of paste onto metal polishing as you apply so there is not an excess of paste. polish again lightly with another clean soft cloth after you are finished.
