User questions & answers

Question:	Does 3m 06068 leave anything on the paint surface that would interfere with a ceramic sealer from properly bonding to the paint
Answer:	Please do not follow the instructions others have posted. I am a licensed esthetician. 1. There is no need for alcohol! 2. Before applying a peel, please be sure to wash your face thoroughly, then apply an occlusive product around your eyes, corner of nose and any other areas that might have telangiectasias or red veins. 3. Peels should only stay on for 3 minutes tops! They must be neutralized afterwards. Try to find a post peel neutralizer. Do NOT wash your face!! Water reactivates the peel, as does sweat. I would recommend applying the peel in the evening. You can wash your face in the morning. Use a calming face wash. Tea tree is the best. Do not use a cleanser with an acid in it. This too will reactivate the peel. Apply an oil, avocado, emu, calming (any of these are good) to keep your skin plenty hydrated. Also use moisturizer and lots of sunscreen! I hope this helps. And please be careful.
Question:	Can this be used for hand polishing
Answer:	Do a TCA CROSS. That is what worked on my ice pick scars from acne. You use a tooth pickand collagen fills it in. I have done it twice and the ice pick scars have almost completely filled in. You do each TCA CROSS 5 weeks apart.
Question:	Hi, is this product available? and is there any extra cost for shipping to chihuahua mexico postal code

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone ever use it on a lacquer finish
Answer:	This compound will harden up and will be extremely hard to buff with a dewalt buffer. I returned this product because of that reason. For the water spots if you want them permanently gone I would do the wet sand. Only wet sand if you have buffing experience.
