I have, but I found that the abrasive is very, very mild in it as well. If you need stronger abrasive to remove heavy oxidation, I use Griot's Garage products. They have several options like their Fast Correcting Cream or the Complete Compound that works very well with a random orbital polisher. I have both their G9 and G8 polishers. Worth every penny.

After rinsing, I soaped it up again and rolled the awning up to let it soak for about a half hour, then had another go at it. Hence the got worn out part. Still not happy with the results. Spent the remainder of the day doing a waterless wash and wax. Still not completely done with that project either, but almost.
Maybe one of the mods would be so kind as move our last two posts to a new thread.

Add a couple parts bleach to your mixture
