I've been using TR3 for years.  You be right...it's powerful.  That means it
is very abrasive!!!   About 1½ steps below polishing compound.  Used with
care, it will handle the heavy-duty, industrial-strength cleaning (like tar
or sun-baked bird doo stains) like nobodys business.  Your tip to overcoat
it with a good WAX is worth considering.  TR3 cleans and shines, but doesn't
protect for long

Enjoy the ride

Just a quick note here for those of you with tarnished
paint.  (if you
didn't wax that car yesterday,... its oxidizing !)
Anyway,...  while I
was in this little "hole in the wall" auto supply store this
weekend I
picked up some TR-3 resin polish.  (I know,..  I had never
heard of such a
thing either)   The guy behind the counter ( roughly 80 yrs
old ,.. grease
under the nails, tobacco chew in the mouth, etc)   yells
from the counter,
"Thats the best thing since sliced bread.... it'll wear that
paint out!"
"Great,... I'll get this and some rags"     $7 bucks later
I'm on the way
home thinking that I should have just bought the 10 dollar
bottle of zymol I
always use.    Well tonight I can attest to the fact that
TR-3 does indeed
wear paint out.   Very little effort was required and it
removed all the old
paint and shines up pretty well by itself.    I put a coat
of zymol on after
and the car really looks a ton better.    If you can find
the stuff,..  give
it a try@!  (especially if your black car is "grey" or red
one (like mine)
is turning orange)
later,
