Anybody used this product? How well does it remove oxidation? I am wanting to bring my 'turning pink' roof back to red again and don't want to use harsh cutting compounds.

Thanks 8)

It's ok if you use it by machine, I use it with a meguires g220 but not so good by hand, also look at autosmart evo there products are very underrated

I must admit, going on the reviews, and the prices of the Autosmart evo, it looks very good. Also the Autosmart Gold Carnauba wax looks pretty good value aswel:

Have you tried either of these?

I put two coats of wax on after I used it but you don't really need to.

I will post a pic up but photobucket is being useless at the moment.

That looks very nice indeed, not many places have got this in stock though. What aerial is that by the way?
