    I might have to try this on my Stratus.  Someone scratch up my driver's side rear door.  Backed into a piece of wood that left a little scratch on the bumper too.  Hmm.... :dontknow:

    Sounds to me like it'll chafe! :o


















    Sorry, couldn't resist. :laughing:

    Well, I'll give it a shot...the paint's already half dead anyway, so I've got nothing to lose. :thumbs:

    Wow, that is quite glossy.  I might have to try it on my mom's car or something first before I can verify results for myself. :laughing: That looks very nice!  Still don't know if it would beat my Zaino, though. :grinno:

    Did you wax afterwards?
    I thought for sure I'd see some swirl marks on the black area of the hood scoops, but I don't.


    Looks great, by the way! :thumbs:

    Thats the beauty of the cornstarch ...no swirls unless your paint is trashed out anyway. It won't bring dead paint back either(its not a substitute for rubbing compound) . The better the paint the better it seems to work. We used to use it for car shows - after we washed and waxed we would cornstarch it during setup and on an indoor show it would really shine under the lights (looks good in sunlight too) . It is the finest  POLISHING compound you can find that wont burn your paint . works especially well on urethane that has lost that wet look too 
    As you can tell April's cars had great looking paint on it to begin with - the cornstarch just brings back that wet paint shine again . It was just something I discovered by accident one day...but thats another story ...LOL
