A good product
Having never used this type of product before I was quite concerned as to what to expect. I have used it on my car and initially the results were good however, after a few days the area I worked on has deteriorated slightly BUT, I reckon it is the material on the car which is a bit "tired" rather than this product. So, all in all I'm quite happy with it's performance.

Good value for money
I am currently restoring an MX5 bumper that pad previously been touched in with a poor colour match. I am rubbing these down with 3k sandpaper and then using the compound to remove the scratches.I have had to experiment with different pads to get the best cut. It is a medium compound and not as good as some of the more expensive compounds (G63), but you get a lots more, so represents good value for money.I will persevere to find the best pad match for optimal results and would consider other products from this supplier.

Medium cut level, but will need a machine polisher for best results.
In testing, I chose to hand polish with this. I figured not everyone has a machine polisher, I also didn't know how aggressively the compound would cut through the paint, so it's a good place to start as a precaution.There's a medium level of cut to this, but I'd suggest this is for those of you who will be polishing by machine. Unless you're doing a small area, it's not aggressive enough for working by hand.It's quite a competitively priced bottle, I've paid the same for half the amount.There's also no fillers in the bottle, so it won't massage your ego, thinking you've done a wonderful job, cleared all the swirl marks from your paint, only to find two weeks later, they've returned cause all you'd really done was fill them in with some wax from your polish.What you see is what you get with this stuff.It's a capable polish, to be used with a machine.

Cuts and polishes well and great value
I’ve only polished my car’s bonnet so far, but I’m already loving this polish!The polish comes in a generously sized bottle, though it’s measured by weight rather than milliliters. It’s a good size, roughly twice that of a T-Cut bottle, if that helps!I really appreciate the bottle’s applicator nozzle. It pulls up to open and pushes down to reseal, which means less waste and mess. You can control the amount better, avoiding those annoying excess blobs, and it doesn’t cake up when closed.Using the polish feels like any other cut-and-polish product with its thick, creamy consistency. But once I started rubbing it in with a microfiber cloth, I could feel it working. My car’s paint isn’t in bad shape, so it didn’t take much effort to cut through. You can feel the surface getting smoother. Let it dry slightly, then buff it off with a clean cloth. After finishing the panel, I was thrilled with the results and didn’t have to work too hard to get a highly polished finish.My only gripes are the fancy foil writing on the bottle, which is hard to read—you have to keep rotating it into the light to make out anything. Also, since this is more of a cutting polish, you’ll need to wax afterward to maintain the finish, but Mink Metal doesn’t promise otherwise.Overall, I love this product! The compound does the heavy lifting, so I didn’t need much elbow grease. The bottle size and applicator are fantastic, and the value for money is high. I’m excited to try out other products in the Mink Metal range.

Better that some.
Better than some I have used.This comes with a push pull top that is very handy when your hands and wet.It does the job very well but takes some buffing up, with an automatic buffer great but I did it by handtook me the best part of an afternoon (a Toyota Yaris) BUT it moves some tar splatters and loads of those annoying circle minor scratches you get (well I get lol) it also moved a larger scratch I got from a branch.Shame I did not think of taking a picture, although the scratch was NOT a deep one it was visible.A good price for a good product.

Good product and good value
I have tried this alongside Farecla G3 compound on my BMW using a DA polisher and a heavy cut pad.The results are impressive and just as good as the G3, but at a much lower price.I am pretty impressed with the results and its value.

Really good quality compound
I am really impressed from this compound.I had few scratches on one of the doors of my car and I was looking to get them sorted out for some time.They were easy to see scratches , but not that deep as well.I didn't have much time to use polisher to machine polish the scratches so I have tried with only microfibre cloth to see what I can do for few minutes.With only small amount of the compound and only few minutes I managed to polish about 90% of the scratches and it was fairly easy to do.I am planning to do a full car machine polish in the coming days so I will update my review once I get this done.Overall great compound and the price of £12.97 is very good for a big bottle like this.Hopefully my review was Helpful for you.

Good car paint polish
Ordered this polish recently, mostly to tackle the swirl marks and a few light scratches on my car. For a compound currently priced at £12.97, it’s done a solid job without requiring much elbow grease. The bottle’s a good size (720g), so it’s decent value if you’ve got multiple areas to work on or like to give your car regular touch-ups.Only minor niggle is the packaging; the foil text on the bottle isn’t the easiest to read unless you angle it in the light. But the cap is quite clever and helps you avoid wasting any product. Overall, it’s a reliable polish that keeps the car looking clean and fresh, and it’ll definitely be a go-to for regular upkeep.Pros:😊 Thick consistency, minimal dust😊 Great finish with easy buffing😊 Generous bottle size for the priceCons:😕 Hard-to-read foil text on the bottle
