Turtle Wax Polishing Compound

Has anybody use turrle wax's polishing compound? I bought 10.5 ounces at menards for 88cents. I figured even if I could not use it for models it coud be used for real cars...

It works great on my whip, but not so good on the models so much, but give it a shot anyways!

I like it a lot!

It's not solvent based so it's good for all types of paint too.

:p

I just used it with a cotton t-shirt and I could not get a shine... All It did was take off the paint but?

After you polish you must wax to get the shine. I also throw on some polish/glaze, after using rubbing compound, but before the wax.

88 cents? You didn't get your money's worth. If it doesn't shine the paint, what good is it? Turtle Wax is about the crappiest stuff for real cars, so I wouldn't touch my models with it. Model cars don't need wax, though Tamiya wax gives a nice smooth finish, but doesn't really shine the paint more. Polishing correctly gives you all the shine you need, if you are using the right polish. Most auto polishes are simply too strong for model paint, leaving it dull or taking too much of the paint off.

Meguiar's Scratch X is the only good polish I've found for model cars that isn't specifically made for models. It's outstanding, it works as well or better than Tamiya compound. It's great stuff, it's not solvent-based. It was about $7.99 at Target, and well worth it.
