It is also effective on brass, copper, stainless steel, chrome, and most other metal surfaces, making it a versatile choice for general metal detailing on the water and around the trailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike wax, which simply lays down a protective coating, this polish is a compound designed to remove a microscopically thin layer of surface material, cutting through dullness and light oxidation to leave a flat, reflective finish. It can be worked in by hand for small areas and touch-ups, or applied with a buffer pad for larger sections such as pontoon logs or hull panels, cutting the labor time considerably. While buffing, a black film may appear on the metal; this is expected, as the polish is pulling pigmentation back out of the surface during the restoration process, and it buffs away to reveal the like-new finish underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach unit is an 18 oz. Jar of the polish and restorer compound. It is not recommended for use on anodized aluminum, since the compound is intended for bare or oxidized aluminum and similar metals rather than anodized coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toon-Brite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e C1000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 oz jar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.34 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 x 4 x 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic (jar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Surfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel, chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e By hand or with a buffer pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polishing and restoring aluminum boats, pontoons, houseboats, trailers, canoes, and RVs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot Recommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anodized aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 792403156827\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Toon-Brite C1000 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Toon-Brite C1000 is an aluminum boat polish and restorer formulated to polish and restore aluminum boats, pontoons, houseboats, trailers, and canoes, and it also works well on brass, copper, stainless steel, chrome, and most other metal surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs metal polish the same thing as wax?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Wax is simply a coating left on a surface to temporarily protect it from the elements, while Toon-Brite C1000 Polish \u0026amp; Restorer is a compound designed to remove a microscopically thin layer of the surface material and leave a flat, reflective surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this polish on metals other than aluminum?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Toon-Brite C1000 can also be used on brass, copper, stainless steel, and chrome, and it works well on most metal surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a buffer to apply this polish, or can I do it by hand?\u003c\/strong\u003e Toon-Brite C1000 can be applied by hand, which works fine for smaller jobs, but a buffer is recommended for larger areas since it is faster and much easier on the applicator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of buffer works best with Toon-Brite C1000?\u003c\/strong\u003e A high quality 7 inch variable speed buffer fitted with a lambs wool, terry cloth, or hard foam pad is recommended for use with Toon-Brite C1000.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does a black film form on the metal while I'm buffing?\u003c\/strong\u003e That black film is expected when using Toon-Brite C1000 and should not be wiped away mid-process; the polish pulls pigmentation back out of the metal during cleaning, and it buffs back out to leave a like-new finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Toon-Brite C1000 be used on anodized aluminum?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, Toon-Brite C1000 Aluminum Boat Polish \u0026amp;

for heavy scum, lime deposits, and oxidation removal beforehand, an aluminum cleaner is used as a separate cleaning step prior to polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes C1000 include a cleaner or sprayer, or is it just the polish?\u003c\/strong\u003e Toon-Brite C1000 is the 18 oz jar of Polish \u0026amp;
