Is this the same stuff used for polishing cars etc? Thanks

I would not risk damage to the clear coat. Besides, you can probably get a cheaper version at an auto supply store, that is made specifically for the degree of polishing you are looking for.

This is Grade 60 cheesecloth which is a really fine mesh, so yes, you could polish a car with it. However, I believe the finer mesh of Grade 100 is what they use to polish cars. You can see me using this cheesecloth when I cooked a Turkucken recently. Search the net for "T-Roy Cooks Turducken" and you will find my video.

You can use it for that, but it would be wasteful. If you want cheesecloth for polishing cars, etc., you should get industrial grade which is not as refined as Brighenti Cheesecloth. Brighenti Cheesecloth would be used primarily in the kitchen environment in handling food.

Hello John, I hate answers that start, "It depends," but in this case, it really does depend on the type of car polishing you have in mind. If you are polishing a show car, and are hoping to take home the top prize, I would stick with the micro-fiber cloths made specifically for that purpose. They will leave a flawless shine with no swirls and enhance the depth of the finish. If, on the other hand, you are polishing the family vehicle that won't be subject to the extreme scrutiny of car show judges, then our grade 60 cheesecloth will do fine. Where our cheesecloth excels is in the polishing of fine wood furniture, where a slight cutting action on the wax base is desirable.

My video was over the size limit. If I do another Turducken or Turkey, I'll keep your suggestion in mind. Thanks again Dale!!!!

I don't believe so. But if you mean polishing, like polishing compound where you may want something a little more abrasive than cotton or microfiber, it may work well. But for a wax or something fine, it may be a little too rough. Good thought though, it hadn't occurred to me for this type of use???

Yes, I would recommend them but it will take a long time to polish and buff your car(?) wheels. These things are not very big and meant for small objects. I used them on my Dremel to polish bicycle hubs, crank arms, etc...

I'm sorry I don't think so I only use it to shine my granite not for removing anything else...its a polish!

It doesn't say there are any cleaners in it. That is the main reason I use it. It says it is just Carnauba wax plus protecting polymers to protect your finish. It also says clear coat safe & safe for all finishes. It is hard to find any wax without cleaners in it. I think it works good & is safe for your cars finish.

Yes.. this is the same product.. Used to put a clear coat on models, clear up model windshields etc. You can dip the parts, airbrush like paint, or put it on with a brush. self-leveling.. Have also heard it will put a nice acrylic shine on a kitchen floor, but I have never used it for that purpose..

This isn't really a shining/polishing compound. Turtle wax has other products for that, but this is mostly for use to remove paint and scratches.

Yes. The best metal cleaner and polisher I've ever used, for silver, brass, bronze, gold -THE BEST!

I would say no but this would be too harsh for plastics of any kind. You would be better off using the polishes that are designed for like headlight lenses for cars.

Sorry Kaylie, I use for polishing motorcycle. But I recall using similar size for my kids before disposables. Oops telling my age. By looking at the size I would think they would but can't say for certain. We old guys used to use for polishing cars when kids outgrew the diaper. Good luck to you.

It's just fine. It is a glazing polish unlike a cut or cleaner. This is for the final step after cutting and buffing. It will leave a smooth glossy finish.

Yes, I have buffed a few cars with it, I work at new car dealer and occassionally need to buff and wax a salesman demo.

Absolutely! Today I was polishing a car with both single stage black enamel and lacquer and it works exceedingly well. Even using a wool pad, you would be impressed at how nicely it finishes. As others state, you will need to follow with M205 or something to refine the marks left from compounding. In other words, it is not a one-step product. Worked *carefully* with a microfiber applicator or towel, it can be used by hand, but I would only recommend this in spot applications.

It's a polish. Not a wax. Not a substitute for soap. You have to remove dirt and grime before or you could cause minor scratches. It wouldn't be the Polish fault though.

Dr. Ann, I think this would work fine on applying and buffing off car polish. I used it to buff off wood floor wax on a butcher block table top. Use one pad to apply and a different one to buff. Thanks,John

I would not use it as a general polish for all over the car. It appears to be formulated to remove scratches and swirl marks from paint. For a general polish, I would use a clay bar.

Excellent! Just remember it's a polish and not a wax. It's for cleaning, not waxing.

Depends on the kind of instruments and their uses. I wouldn't use it as a general metal polish such as on the electron gun of an electron microscope.
