Nope...my only complaints from that band was that....i don't finish the whole product the first time i open it...by the time i get around to re-using it..its gells' up and few times it even dried...so the price for me was for one time use....versus..other brands I can use the product more than once.

just don't get too polish happy...you only need to do that to remove visible scratches, dried on bug guts, and other surface blemishes like that. The goal is to get the paint shiny, then keep a good layer of wax on top of it. You don't want to polish everytime...only once to smooth the paint or whenever you get a new blemish. Turtle wax is decent, but try the Gold class once and you'll see the difference in how it goes on and comes off. Its sooo much easier, which is worth it when its 90 degrees and you have a whole solara worth of sheet metal to buff!

wait wait, seriously, are you supposed to get a different polish based on the color of your car? my polish says white on the tub and it's white too, so do i have to go get red polish or something, or does polish work on any color?? :-?

Hari: all my waxes/polishes have been cream-white....I've not heard of them being color-specific. I think your car's in good hands...just take your own time....

i finally got around to using the turtle wax polish and wax. stay away from this stuff guys. the polish was impossible to get off, literally took at least 10 minutes of rubbing per 2-3 square feet. and after it came off, there was no difference. the swirl marks and water spots were still there. and as far as the wax, it did work, but it took a heck of a lot of work to get off too. you have to buff for a really long time to get an even shine. all in all, i spent four hours waxing and polishing the car (and i stopped using the polish after i did the hood and passenger door, cuz i realized it sucked). a job like this really shouldnt have taken me more than 2. so my advice to anyone is to stay away from this stuff and go for meguires or nu-finish.
