Well, I have been using my sample of TC-3 Premium Car Polish and have the following review.



1. Seems to have oils in it as they fade so does durability and feel

2. Excellent shine on metallic, my favorite on my Gold Explorer. Prefer it over Zaino, NXT, EXP, and others on this ride

3. Above average shine on my red car. If I did not have 2 tins of #16 and a Pinnacle sitting there I would order more

4. Goes on easy

5. Comes off easy

6. Durability is fair

7. Seems to hide small/medium swirls



I recommend it for lighter metallic finishes for a real pop. The paint pops better than NXT on my buddies white firebird.

It is not to bad... Like I said if I did not have 2 tins of #16 and the nice Pinacle wax to use I would order more..

The new tire/rubber dressing is pretty awesome as well, it`s been on my tires for a month and still looking pretty good.

the TC3 is petroleum based- IMO a quality product with good durability and it seems to hold its looks pretty well-and its priced reasonably-its supposed to be layerable as well FWIW-the non silicon tire and trim dressing works well on hard black plastic cowl molding-and holds its shine for about a month

T3 is easy to use and produces a nice gloss. I also loved the smell, and to me that`s a big deal, a nice smelling product makes the detailing funner. I think t3 would be a great express detailing product. I didn`t get good durabilty from it. After two weeks and one wash the water beads where at about 4 inches. If you detail your car every month it wouldn`t matter, but I think most of the other super sealants get better durabilty.

I`ve used it too (got my sample from Burlyq) and I agree it is easy to use, has a nice wet glow and seems to have some light cleaning capacity. I don`t know about durability because I haven`t had it long enough to really know. Seems fine at around the 6 week point. Slickness it down a bit but towels aren`t grabbing either.



Optimum polish with a Meguiars polishing pad and TC3 by hand.

I will be trying this shortly, as I got a sample (thanks wannafbody!). So far, my only assessment is the smell, and I agree with the others, the smell is yummy, totally in tune with the tropicare name.
