The rotation of the buffing wheel at 3600rmp or more will heat up the compound, and thats where the magic happens. I'll see if i can dig up some before and after shots, i sanded off every piece of rust i could find under my car, especially the axles, and used por15 in a black gloss, and no more rust since then. replaced all my suspension, polished everything else. Not hard to do, just time consuming.
Hey I'm doing the same thing to my car right now. How much por15 did you order. At the moment I just ordered the quart size, along with the cleaners and blackcoate.
