My car is "candy red metallic" with, obviously, the metallic shine/shimmer. Is this product good for use with metallic paints?

I used it on a "salsa red pearl". I think it's fine. Of course the wax is not a fix, but it made the bug spots on the paint not show up so bad after waxing. Hope that helps :)

Should be because it blends in with the shades of red dyes in the paint. But try it in a small area first

My car is a darker red metallic and it worked just fine. I also used the crayon that came with the wax which is NOT metallic but it worked very well for hiding small pit marks. The crayon is a darker red so use just a little if touching up scratches.

Whats different about your new car? Is it using some crazy new kind of paint? Does the owners manual specify that you have to use some crazy cleaning product or something? If not, then yes, you can certainly use this on your new car, and your old car, and just about anything else you want to be shiny and clean. I even use it on my motorcycle helmets.

If you have a blemish in the clear coat you could use Flitz but it really isn't an automotive paint polish. Just being clear this is not intended for overall paint polish. Personally I would not use on the black plastic bumper covers. Those are normally textured and flat black. Other products like Mother's Back to Black would be a better choice. Flitz is a great product but not in these cases.

Sure. I wouldn't expect a whole lot out of it, really, but if you're painting your car with Rustoleum, implement enamel, or something of the like, it will allow you to accomplish a fair job. If you've got an old pickup that you've just done some basic bodywork (i.e.: rust repair) on and you're just looking to make it all one color again, this would be a great way to go. I wouldn't advise one to use this thing for spraying Centauri or Imron, but if you're about to do that you're likely not even going to think about using this in the first place!

Hi: I assume you mean painted bumpers?? If so, then yes this wax is fine. If you are speaking of a bumper that is like flat black with a textured finish then no. For material like that you would be good with some type of vinyl protectant.

Yes. It provides a shiny gloss after it has dried. I used it on a model rocket 4 months ago and it's still shiny.

I would believe it would as I have used it on stainless steel facets in my home, however not on my automobiles as of yet. The label states it is safe and effective (shining, cleaning, etc.) on bumpers and chrome -- even fiberglass parts -- so, I would think it would be fine. It certainly works on gold and silver items, as I have used it on my jewelry and my wife's (even on a bracelet of hers that is steel wire and 14 Carrot Gold --so, give it a shot. I really like this stuff. I would note the it is a bit unusual to use, but once you get used to the hang of it, it does the job(s). Hope this helps you.

The metallics take a bit longer than the flat and gloss finishes in my experience. You can thin it for better results, but using thinner coats of it straight from the bottle may work for you as well, depending on your painting technique (hand painted Vs. airbrush, etc.) Try thinner coats applied to the plastic model and doing multiple coats where applicable, first. If that doesn't/already isn't working, then try thinning it out progressively. You can practice on plastic spoons/knives to get your method down without running any potential risk with your model pieces.

This is a coloured polish. To be used on the same colour car. It needs to be sealed with wax afterwards.

Pretty much though not as shiny unless its on something metal. I've used it to paint my power ranger toys on the parts that are supposed to be gold. Now if only they had a chrome gold.

I would not use this product on metal. Use a spray vanish on small items But, on the car just use auto wax.

As the can says it is a metal polish, so I beleive it would work fine on any metal, you just rub some of the product on it until it turns dark and wipe it off, should look great, I have also left a thin coat of the product overnight on items that were realy bad and the next day they came back to life

I would say no. I used this product, and, I was somewhat disappointed with the results. I didn't notice any restoration of the paint on my 95 Camaro. No scratches were repaired. Just seems like a glorified car wax to me.

Yes, It will give it a nice looking high gloss look. It is a thin film product, so don't overapply it. Better to do 2 thin coats. Make sure any dirt or loose or chipped paint is first removed or touched up.

I've only used it on metal and plastic. I did not sand... I did clean the surfaces quite well though... ;-) This paint has a metal fleck appearance though is more flat than glossy and not as reflective as one might think. It's a very cool looking paint.

I didn't get a chrome finish. It was more of a silver and when I tried to use gloss clear coat it went bad. It could have been the material I was painting. Try a test piece of material to see what reaction you get. Mike
