Following the instructions, I applied the Oxidation Remover to a small section, and used the buffer on SLOW speed to work the compound... carefully avoiding the vinyl graphics. I used a microfiber towel to apply the compound along the edges of the vinyl. After buffing/scrubbing - I used a clean towel to wipe the area clean. This took a couple applications, especially working by hand along the vinyl.

I am really impressed! With just the Oxidation Remover application, the oxidation in that area is completely gone - and the gloss is back... which I didn't expect. I figured I'd have to apply the polish to get the shine.

These are NOT PHOTOSHOP PICS!! Here's the test results. If the rain holds off - more tomorrow.
great start. when you use the polish it will really bring it back. We had boats for 35 years and detailed many. Have even used wet sanding on bad examples. Smart doing it in small sections.
