Re: TurtleWax Color Back Finish Restorer & Car Polish...

HAHA. I bought a bottle of that about a year and a half ago when i didnt know the proper way to detail. It has a place in my regimen now for hazed headlights. Thats the only reason I have that stuff anymore. The consistancy is puke. Literally it looks like puke. I wouldnt advise use on paint being it is very gritty. As for the manufactorers claims of 1 step shine. Probabaly Not.

Yep I used it on an old farm tractor that sat out 24/7. It did a nice job of bringing the paint back. In about two weeks it was faded out again.

Would I use it on a car, probably not. If I did it would be on a really old beat up car.

I've used it satisfactorily enough to be willing to have some around for neglected and weathered paint jobs, but there are some cases where it won't produce a shine.
