    Default New use for EEE-Ultrashine

    Came out of the supermarket and found a large black scuffmark on the driver's side rear bumper - right on the sharpish ridge of a Rav bumper, almost 100mm long. The Rav is pearl metallic white and the air was blue.

    Determined the mark was a deposit rather than a scratch but the removal was a problem as any cutter would go through the clear coat and being on the ridge probably go through the paint. Had a think, rather than use an automotive cutter/polish which would probably be too severe, I remembered I had a tub of our sponsor's EEE-Ultrashine, bought many years ago as I may use that.

    Longish story short, it worked a treat, paint and clear coat appear to be intact and the car is again pristine.

    Perhaps not a recognised use but it worked.
    Regards,
    Bob

    Like the lateral thinking. I've used toothpaste to the same effect.

    I used EEE to clean up a couple of saws. Removed the gunk and left a great finish.

    I suspect it would but might take a little longer than the usual abrasives used.

    I used Brasso to clean mine a few years ago and they are still clear.

    Some good ideas.

    The abrasive used in EEE is used to polish out lenses on telescopes or at least it was at Castlemaine High school some 20 odd years ago.

    It is also used to polish metal and a heap of other stuff. I know it's been used on chrome exhaust pipes on a Harley with excellent results. Works on some stone products, polishes polished cement. Over some painted surfaces (test first and go lightly) aluminium, brass, copper, etc, (don't use a buff unless you want it black for ever).

    The wax in EEE may be a problem for some things that don't need to have a fine waxy surface. But good buff on solid surfaces like glass should remove pretty well all the wax, if not then a wipe down with a little mineral turps on a clean rag and a wipe off should do the job.

    Cheers - Neil
