How to use Turtlewax rubbing compound

Turtlewax rubbing compound
A user review of this product:


 
This is how its look like.
 
And this is how it’s apply. Using the sponge/microfiber towel to put in some of the content compound then rub on the car surface
 
Continuous rubbing until the scratches is gone

 
Here I should say, do clean it with microfiber towel, not paper..







Do remember to follow up with polishing and waxing after this. Do not leave it like this.
This is the comment from a visitor which tells the right thing:
xxxx. You gotta be careful with rubbing compound you can xxxx your paint finish up if you use the wrong technique, remember this stuff is an abrasive paste and what it is doing is removing a fine level of Clearcoat, if you rub to hard you can go thru the clearcoat and cut the paint, then its a respray/touchup job. If i were doing this i would use Polishing Compound which is less abrasive, then i wld use a polish and a wax/sealant and i would use a damp microfibre towel not a paper cloth.
At the same time, rubbing compound can use to restore headlight? Let see how it goes.

Headlight Lens Restorer

    • This unique process restores dull, yellowed headlights to like new condition in less than 5 minutes per lens. Unique process restores dull, yellowed headlights to like new condition
    • Lens Clarifying Compound quickly removes surface discoloration and may be all that is needed to restore clarity
    • 3 multi-stage wet restoration pads focus on deeper discoloration and scratches to restore the lens to like new condition
    • New sealing wipe helps protect from future yellowing and discoloration
    How do I use?

    1. Wash headlight lens to remove surface dirt.
    2. If lens to be restored is next to painted surfaces, use masking tape to protect the paint.
    3. Apply Lens Clarifying Compound to a cotton cloth. Rub compound over entire lens using firm pressure. Buff with clean terry cloth. Restore only one lens at a time. If lens does not come clean with Lens Clarifying Compound, proceed to Step 4.
    4. Apply Spray Lube to Level 1 pad (green pad) and to lens to be restored. Use pads on only those areas requiring restoration. Begin rubbing the Level 1 pad, using firm finger pressure, in a back and forth motion over the lens, continuing until much of the oxidation is removed. Use the Spray Lube as necessary to keep the lens and pad wet. The green Level 1 pad will require the longest use.
    5. Immediately switch to the Level 2 pad (brown). Rub back and forth in the opposite direction (90 degrees) of the Level 1 pad for about 1 minute, keeping the pad and lens surface wet using the Spray Lube. Switch to the Level 3 side of the final pad (purple) and repeat the process for 1 minute. Flip to the Level 4 side of the final pad (blue) and repeat the process for 1 minute.
    6. Dry the lens with a cotton towel. Lens Clarifying Compound and rub thoroughly back and forth until the lens clarifies. Let compound dry to a haze and buff with a cotton cloth. Lens Clarifying Compound can be applied by machine with a foam pad at 1500 RPMs.
    7. Apply a high-quality vehicle wax, such as Turtle Wax® Super Hard Shell® paste or liquid wax, to seal and protect the lens.

You can choose hand rubbing, hand sanding or machine polishing. With 1 toolkit. enough for all purpose to serve! Enjoy!
