I don't know. I have not tried MARQUE D'ELEGANCE. I see it is and older wax but rated pretty good. What I have tried is Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax and it works great after I use Duragloss Total Performance Polish is a cleaner and polish. You won't go wrong with this combo.

Yes you can, I've tried it that way too. You will get better results with the AIO applied first. Btw- I have a silver car and klasse makes it easy to shine like new. Absolutely the best car care products available

Answer here...I have found it to be trial and error. Almost all Metallic and one coat cream polishes work well. Try on a piece of paper first. This is the best way to be sure.

I prefer by hand. More control and less chance of harming the finish as I'm not a professional detailer.

I would have to say NO, but it still looks good for the additional chrome on your car. I did expect it to have a higher shine but I am pretty happy with it. I see similar cars to mine daily, hourly, ok about every ten minutes, but the tips help make my car stand out.

High gloss gives a prefect gloss. Mot as high as you would assume. It is a wax and to me, is high maintenance because to spill water disrupts the wax. When trying another Bona non wax cleaner it will take a lot of scrubbing (the wax off) before it looks great. Once you use the wax, it is hard to use anything else. I love it. the white bottle cleaner did not do my engineered floors good and that is when i tried the gloss which is awesome if you are willing to put the work in.

Your best bet is to contact Collonite directly. Great family owned business, they will steer you right. On gelcoat that has been painted with either Awlgrip or Imron the answe would be no, as those two companies have very specific products to protect their finishes. Motorhomes with a clear coat finish are closer to automobiles, and Collonite makes dynamite waxes for automobiles. Give them a shout!

I emailed Meguires about a paint job on my older Ford Explorer. Seems that the body shop used a cheap clear coat over the base coat and began to haze prematurely. I suspected the clear coat was sprayed on too thin. I live in the southwest and auto paint is subject to harsh summer heat. I asked the shop to spray four clear coats but I'm sure they didn't and used some cheap stuff because paint failure happens after a couple of years but anyway, The customer care guys at Meguires suggested I use this product with a grey foam pad( I used a yellow) and my car looked like new after I finished it. The oxidized paint came right off. I also put the synthetic sealer soon afterwards and even left that on overnight to bind with the paint. You really dont need to polish your car often if you wash it by hand using a microfiber wash cloth and Meguires car wash then spray on the synthetic detailer (while car is still wet) dry off with a dry microfiber cloth. The polish is only to SLICK UP THE FINISH. Sometimes the birds get to my car and I polish that off after the hand wash but once the suface is slick and sealed, evrything will wash right off. You are right though, you go polish off some of the paint when you do this so go easy, low RPM on your rotary polisher,light pressure and remember to seal it up ! this stuff really worked well for me, I used a Dewalt rotary polisher that I purchased here on Amazon for about $150.00 a year ago. The rotary polisher is a little more difficult to use than the orbital(much lower oscillations per second) and you might want to consider that first. I have seen those at Harbour Freight Sales for about $25.00. I hope that helps !

Hey Sherie,Unfortunately, I was not impressed by this product. The polish peels very easily and it is difficult to get a consistent color/finish. The polishes are also much smaller than they appear to be on the website. I bought the system to save money, time, and visits to the nail salon. I ended up giving it away and going back to regular polish which works better than this system.Sorry!Claire

I'm not really sure, but it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, you may want to try silver polish.

I just used the pre-cleaner first and then LG for the first time 2 weeks ago and after using the pre-cleaner the car looked awesome. I think it takes off a lot of microscopic junk from the paint. If you could swing it, I would do it. Or just do a clay bar, whichever is cheaper. I did clay bar first. But it was after the pre-cleaner the car looked so shiny! And then I think the LG adds a lot of protection to that shine and adds a bit more shine also.

I dont see why not. Its a good question though. I would contact general finishes and ask them to be for sure though

I've seen it done before. As for doing it myself, I have not. However I am very happy with this product and the black color that I have under this. You have the ability to add as much or as little gloss as you want to get the look you are going for. I would say do it! :-)

Use a gloss black primer, and then paint *extremely* light coats of chrome, building it up slowly. I find that 2-3 coats works best, and it dries very quickly in between coats. I have looked everywhere for a "manual" or directions, but have not found one, so the info I am giving you is based on my own tests. I tried it many different ways, and only gloss black with light chrome coats gave me the high polish results I was looking for. It should also be sealed if it's going to be even lightly handled, and again the sealing should be done with a very light hand. I would recommend testing on plastic spoons to make sure you have things right before you go to model, as stripping this stuff is a real PITA. Happy Painting!

Has a nice smooth polished (like semi gloss paint) finish. should look very nice. Also sounds like a very good idea! Guess I have a new project to do for the grand daughters!

I am not the representative for this company, but I would. In my humble opinion, I think this paint is very nice. I sanded the fire out of some coat racks and went with it. It has a nice finish. You may wish to do 2 coats. I can't remember if I did. I'm not a purist or a perfectionist, but I would. I was prompted by Amazon comment monitor to respond, so maybe this will be of some help. Have a nice day!

I would use the pad they recommend whcih is the ultimate polishing pad. You can also call Paul from marble gloss restorer and he will give you great advice. The product works great. you will need a lot of elbow grease.
