Can it be used on the cars painted surface to make it shine like new.

I really don't know, personally, I wouldn't try it just because of the possible spontaneous combustion factor the box warns about. Easier to replace a door handle or rear view mirror than have car repainted..

No, Detail Doctor is just snake oil that you smear on your plastics, headlights etc to make them look better (or worse) for a bit. The ONLY way to get paint to shine "like new" permanently is to compound and polish the paint.

Sure. I wouldn't expect a whole lot out of it, really, but if you're painting your car with Rustoleum, implement enamel, or something of the like, it will allow you to accomplish a fair job. If you've got an old pickup that you've just done some basic bodywork (i.e.: rust repair) on and you're just looking to make it all one color again, this would be a great way to go. I wouldn't advise one to use this thing for spraying Centauri or Imron, but if you're about to do that you're likely not even going to think about using this in the first place!

Doubt it. If the discoloration is due to fading of the paint from the sun then no, this wont help. If there's just residue left on the vehicle from the adhesive then some goof off and then finish with the Simoniz clay might do the trick.

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

Not personally. It's a product that should be safe for that application, however, as it is food grade. It has enough wax in it that it can be buffed out to a sheen, as well.

It will help to a point. Faded black cars show oxidation very easily and probably require a multistep process of rubbing compound, polish and wax to restore the finish.

Absolutely ! I used it to repaint the jeep logos on my car and it's amazing . Looks great, like new. Stays put with numerous washes too!

It may take a few applications but yes, it's almost like a polish without being one usually followed by Mother's carnauba wax. It's the very best product in the market if this doesn't work it's because your car needs a new paint job.

No I would not use this to polish a car. You want a buffer with a soft pad that you can use compound and wax

Whats different about your new car? Is it using some crazy new kind of paint? Does the owners manual specify that you have to use some crazy cleaning product or something? If not, then yes, you can certainly use this on your new car, and your old car, and just about anything else you want to be shiny and clean. I even use it on my motorcycle helmets.

Not really, I used it on wood, it gave the wood a mirror like shine..but I wouldn't use it on a car..I suppose something different is to be used on a cars cleacoat, something specialized?

This will not be a problem. I would suggest that if the car has not been waxed in the past six months that a light paint finish cleaner(Meguires has a good product) be applied first, then a good wax. This would insure that the car paint finish is well protected and will look like it just came off the assembly line.

Absolutely! Today I was polishing a car with both single stage black enamel and lacquer and it works exceedingly well. Even using a wool pad, you would be impressed at how nicely it finishes. As others state, you will need to follow with M205 or something to refine the marks left from compounding. In other words, it is not a one-step product. Worked *carefully* with a microfiber applicator or towel, it can be used by hand, but I would only recommend this in spot applications.

Yes you can. It will clean and polish but don't use it to try to remove scratches.

No I don't believe so. It does erase small surface scratches, but I found that I had to really scrub the areas to get them to wear off. I noticed that the paste restored a beautiful hard shine to the paint, no damage whatsoever! I would recommend having a lot of clean, dry terry cloths on hand, because when the paste is on the paint, I found that it left a film that I had to constantly go over. Deep scratches I am still skeptical about.

Sure you can use it on a white car, or any color car. What I use it for is for removing tree sap, bugs, bird droppings, etc. that wind up getting on the car in between thorough cleaning and detailing.

I would say no. I used this product, and, I was somewhat disappointed with the results. I didn't notice any restoration of the paint on my 95 Camaro. No scratches were repaired. Just seems like a glorified car wax to me.
