Excellent Polish: TR-3 Resin Glaze

Postby green_comet » Thu Mar 26, 2009 7:31 pm

Hey guys,

Just though I would write up a quick review for you all. A few weeks back I was reading through clubroadster, and came across a polish that was getting a few good reviews.

http://clubroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26062

Its called TR-3 Resin Glaze, and is made by a company called Blue Magic who make Black Jack, and a few other car products. I found a local auto store (Image Auto) that stocked a few different Blue Magic products, and I asked if it was possible to get some in. 3 weeks later I got a phone call saying to come pick it up, $25 for the tin... :mrgreen:

Image

I wanted this polish as I heard that its very good for oxidized paint, so it should be good for my girlfriends red SP Astina, which has some pretty badly oxidized paint. :?

I have taken some pics to show you all how good this stuff is, it should work wonders on MX5's with oxidized paint. It takes no time at all and gives fantastic results.

The rag after 2min of soft rubbing...Ewwww.... :lol:

Polish rubbed in and drying to a haze (as per instructions)

Polished to a shine!!! 8)

I also did one of the C-Pillars..

After.. 8)

Conclusion: Get this stuff!....It would have to be the best polish I have ever used, it is easy to apply and remove, and gives a very very glossy finish.

I have taken some pics just for you Minh... :mrgreen:

This stuff is pretty damn good, came up great on the MX5. I have never used a polish that gives such an awesome glossy finish.

I give it a 9 out of 10..

So, given how the rag turned out, does this cut as well as polish?

A polish is a cut, it just depends on the level of abrasiveness
