The liquid formula smooths and prepares the surface for polishing, restoring a clean, uniform finish before a protective polish is applied. Because all rubbing compounds are abrasive by nature, it is recommended to test a small, inconspicuous area first to confirm the desired result before treating the full surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compound is designed for hassle-free application by hand or with a buffer, going on smoothly and cleaning up without hardening, which makes the restoration process more efficient. It uses a medium grit formula (grit number 80) with metal grit material to cut through oxidation without being overly aggressive, and it may require multiple applications to achieve a fully restored finish on heavily oxidized surfaces. Star brite Liquid Rubbing Compound 81316 comes in a 16 ounce bottle, sized for convenient handling during boat, RV, automotive, and painted-surface detailing projects. Follow the included step-by-step directions for application, drying, and buffing for the best, most uniform result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Star brite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 81316\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polish\/Wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 ounces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.23 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.75 x 3.5 x 8.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 071247813166\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Surfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiberglass, metal, painted surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Star brite Liquid Rubbing Compound 81316 remove?\u003c\/strong\u003e It removes light to medium oxidation, scratches, and surface imperfections from fiberglass, metal, and painted surfaces, smoothing the surface and preparing it for polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many ounces are in a bottle of part number 81316?\u003c\/strong\u003e Star brite Liquid Rubbing Compound 81316 comes in a 16 ounce bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this rubbing compound be applied by hand?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Star brite Liquid Rubbing Compound 81316 is designed for hassle-free application by hand or with a buffer, and it cleans up without hardening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat grit rating does the 81316 rubbing compound use?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a medium grit formula, grit number 80, with metal grit material designed for medium oxidation and moderate scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill one application fully restore an oxidized surface?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not always.
