For an over-the-counter product, it works damn well (using a PC 7424). Although not as aggressive as #105, it is much easier to work with (less prone to flashing). I use a LC orange pad; speed 5.5-6.0 and remember to move the PC slowly.

If you aren't handy with a machine it works very well by hand too. IMO, it's about as aggressive as you can get from a hard parts store. As said above, it's not as aggressive as M105 which also makes it easier to finish out. I use it all the time by hand to remove fingernail scratches from under door handles.

Definitely a product worth trying.

No question its worth trying. It's an excellent product that just happens to be inexpensive. It's almost LSP ready imo. I would however follow on with M205 or Menzerna PO85RD if I want that extra pop and an hour or two extra effort

I used it for the first time this past week to take some blems out of the paint of my new Ranger. I applied it by hand and had excellent results taking out some flaws that old my Scratch-X wouldn't touch. Definitely a product I'll use moving forward......

My plan is to use it over the entire truck. Paint is ok but needs a little touch up to look better. Is it smart to follow up with a wax job?

Only if you don't want bare exposed paint over your entire vehicle.

Yes definitely smart (it is essential)

I'm not trying to scold you, but READ THE STICKY!!!!!

It has so much useful information in it, it will amaze you!

Set aside 20 minutes one night and read through the whole sticky. I promise you it will be worth it

UC is an exellent product, used it on a 2002 Harley Davidson F150 that had bad swirls and it got the job done.
