It's a very good polish, water based and contains no abrasives, the level of cut is dependent on the pad used. It doesn't leave a finish, it removes scratches, swirls and oxidation so you need to finish with a wax or sealant.

I have some and it is excellent. However my Lexus has really hard paint so I would have had a million times better results using a machine.

In that case, p1 is rubbish lol. I was rubbing like a goodun and it got a lot out but still left a few feint scratches.

Still think the true test is on a machine though Smile

Most Jap paints are soft. It doesn't matter what polish you use if applying by hand it's going to be VERY hard work. So much easier with DA/Rotary Wink

I use GTechnique & it's brilliant, if your careful & not using wool you can actually get away with not doing a second stage polish to get rid of marring saving time. I was using Menzerna polishes on my IS220d but Gtechnique is my new weapon of choice. I've even just bought the glass polish & sealant to try so I'll let you all know results when done.
