My dad used it in the early 80`s, but I was too young to know how it looked. As I remeber it was top notch at the time.

I`ve had good luck with it on wax residue on textured door handles and such. It only "blended" them, didn`t clean it out, as the residue did show up after about 6 or 7 weeks.

When I used it on the paint, It did get rid of some oxidation, but it really shows marring badly. In fact, if you were to use a "not quite 100% cotton" cloth to apply it, you would end up with marring to deal with. Water beaded nicely. Very shiney, but not real deep. I think it beaded for around a month, 6 weeks.

Probably could be a good 1 step for a beginner, assuming they used foam or a very soft cloth to apply it.

WOW, I used this stuff back in the early 80`s on my Z. I liked it back then, applied and waited about an hour and removed. Came off like dust almost, it left a really nice shine, lasted about 4-6 weeks. I was in heaven back then about this product. They still make it?

yup. picked some up at pep boys.

i dont think i would recommend it if you clay your car... since the claying does the job of this... fallowed by a coat of wax.

I used it back then too, and i recalled it being incredible and leaving a super wet shine i`ve never achieved since with anything else. Then about 2 years ago i found it again after not seeing it on the shelves for years. i of course grabbed a can, but i don`t know if they changed it or the paints have changed or what. but in any case i was sorely disappointed. I`d like to know why !

I used TR3 a couple times...never got great results, it smells bad, and leaves residue. I bet it was DA BOMB back in the 80`s though...way too many better choices out there, and 10x easier to use choices IMO.

i tried the stuff WAY back in the day i remember it was a real arm breaker .. i thought the RESIN part was some mysterious secret formulation .. maybe it was..

I remember when I used it back inthe mid-eighties, it came in a square tin as a `pre-softened` paste with a picture of Mr. T on the lid

Remember that stuff probably in the 70`s. They sponsored a Fuel Dragster in NHRA and promoted heavily at the drags. Not remarkable but it didn`t suck.
