Oh yeah. I use gloves when I do any sort of polishing work or work with solutions, polishes, etc. I'm tempted to wear a half mask next time I use Mother's, however. I can STILL smell the stuff, just a bit, and that aint good. Though it was, I suppose, made to be used outdoors on your car wheels. And Randyjawa, thanks. I obtained about the same level of reflection on my hubs as on your Nuovo Records, but mine were not oxidized as badly as yours. Just removing a dull haze. The stuff does work well. It is, after all, a fine sort of rubbing compound, but the action may include something chemical as well. I notice Simichrome, also stinky, and Flitz, less so, both require more rubbing to obtain the same effect.
