When i used to sell car spoilers, I saw the paintshop would use something to buff the painted spoilers to shine like a mirror. Sometimes I would go to a car wash and they would show something fancy that if I go for a detail wash which would cost about $79.99, the guy flipped out a bottle of magic lotion and rub it on my car and BAMM! the scuff marks would disappear. He said if I go for the $79 wash, he would find all of the scuff marks on my car and get rid of them for free. There was no way I would pay $80 for a car wash. So I came home researched online exactly what is the magic lotion used by the paintshop or the car wash. Sure enough, it's called rubbing compound. Without further delay, I ordered it on Amazon and it came in just a couple of days.
I immediately tried it on the scuff marks on the bumper and on the inside of the door handle where the rings and fingernails would scratch and result in thousands of black thin lines.
It literally disappears before my eyes. The scuff marks faded and disappeared after only a few rubs and the fine black scratch lines inside the door handles even though difficult to reach (using terry cloth with 2 fingers), I rubbed it and all 4 door handles are now shining as if they were new!!!

So there you have it, 5 stars, excellent product and company and shipping time. this is the best $8 ever spent on my car.
I guess you can reapply it once per year to keep the dealer shine all the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for removing scratches from stainless steel appliances, December 20, 2008

We had a stainless steel refrigerator, just a few years old, with many small scratches on the surface, particularly around the handle where rings might touch the surface. Several attempts at removing the scratches using other techniques and products failed. I applied the rubbing compound, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel, and successfully removed all but the deepest scratches. The refrigerator looks like new.

On my way to work, I hit a flying carpet (literally, a 10x10 carpet remnant flew off of a pickup truck, and struck my car, dragging along my hood at 85 miles an hour).

The scrapes in the clear coat of my black BMW were sickening. My coworkers immediately noticed the scratches and asked me what had happened. I was ready to go to a body shop, when I decided to look for a paint cleaner / swirl reducer.

I found Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound and gave it a try. Using a microfiber bonnet, I used a buffer to apply it, and buffed it off by hand using a terry cloth towel. I did two applications, and finished it off with McGuire's carnuba wax.

If you inspect for the marks, you can still see them, but they are hardly noticeable. My car looks fine again.

I have never used anything but McGuire's on my car, but I am now a believer in Turtle Wax! This is a great product that saved me a lot of money!
