It is a joy to put on however, easy and quick and 1 shot, and many swear by it, that is why I tried it. Never the less, I was disappointed, I'll go back to the products I was using. At least I only have to apply it every 6-8 months, or 2 times a year..

As for rubbing compound, our cars are to new and the paint to fresh to be using such a harsh item on our cars. RC is more for faded oxidized paint than new cars IMO. They do have a 1-2% compounds, but on our cars, that should be a at this point. There is much much better products than that stuff to remove swirl marks and minor surface scratches IMHO.. So I recommend staying away from that stuff..
I am not talking about a abrasive harsh rubbing compound. This stuff has no silicone and is safe for all clear coats. I know you can not use compounds with abrasives, this would do more damage than good This has the "nanotechnology" instead. They have two kinds, one for light and one for medium swirls. It really is more of an agressive polish than a rubbing compound.
