Debbie was kind enough to inquire for me when I wanted to clean off some "holiday finger prints." Obviously you wouldn't want to use the rubbing compound for basic cleaning purposes (swirl marks), but the polish or glaze should suit you well when used in a side-to-side motion.

Kevin is right. Our trained craftsman use these products, and know how to use them without damaging the finish (without causing swirl marks). I would not recommend anyone using the rubbing compound unless you are a skilled polisher. Rubbing compound is only used after wet sanding as a first step.

Always use caution when waxing, as always.

I agree that you can treat it like you would a fine car. The paint finish is better on Wilsons than even what's on a Ferrari (you can visibly see orange peel on a Ferrari ' s hood. We wet sand off the Orange peel on most surfaces according to our standards). Because of this, it is easier to see marks and scratches, and can be easier to create swirl marks if you are not careful.

Test product on a small area (perhaps the back where tolerances are not as high, and as noticable. Carnauba waxes are great. I have also used Zymol.

Let me know after you polish them if that resolved the issue.

NOTE: You are all welcome to email me if you ever have a question. I am happy to help!
