It makes my car look like someone buffed it for hours.






I thought I was the only one that used Comet! most people would look at me like I had 3 heads, when I suggested using Comet as a "poor man's compounding" to freshen up paint,.... same here been using it for years, I'll work a panel at at a time by wetting the panel, then sprinkle on the Comet heavy, work it up to a heavy creamy texture, long straight cleaning strokes, light pressure following the vehicles lines, no circular motion, lots of soft Terry cloths (basically one for each panel) and lots of rinse


Now the "secret" is out!...lol!


I tried it once on a dark maroon car.....it photo chemically reacted and ruined what was already a bad finish. I always sprinkle the stuff onto a wet rag and wash away years of oxidation, greasy hand prints and all sorts of other hard to remove stains etc. You might want to test in a small inconspicuous area before committing to the entire car.
