    I didn't notice any bad effects. Cleaned it up pretty damn well. Use it with a stiff brush if you have one. Use common sense... don't let it sit too long and DEFINITELY use a respirator mask and eye protection. I almost died probably.

    I'm just going to close all the windows and doors to my bathroom, use Tardis to clean everything. Also, I won't use any gloves or anything. Just rub the Tardis in by hand.

    Nice and safe!

    Duragloss 501 with a PC would have been the best bet.. a lot less invasive on your body...

    Mr. Clean Eraser and Palmolive (or whatever other brand you use) Gel Diswashing Detergent . No harsh chemicals and you don't even need cloves (or a respirator :)

    Think more along the lines of something that is an AIO with good cleaning properties... ZAIO, KAIO, DG 501... I have only used DG 501 for this type of project and not ZAIO or KAIO but I would imagine they would work equally as good... Chemical cleaner as opposed to abrasive....

    Regarding what pad to use I would use the pad the came with your PC - white foam pad, non paint pad... You shouldn't need an agressive pad

    Mr. Clean Eraser is great little product! Nice to use on scuff marks on plastic as well on the car. Get some on the plastic door sill from passengers and that little things takes car of them.

    I can chime in here as I use my plastic shower as a test bed for different sealants to test their longevity. I use a wash mitt with DG 901 put directly on it. Use the magic eraser for the nasty parts. The mitt will get off most pretty easily. To seal it after, use DG 601 followed by 105. You can use whatever sealant you have and you'll get to see how quickly they fade with the quantity of water and soap that gets washed on the surface. There is NO need to use anything caustic whatsoever!
    Edit..I've applied sealant to all my sinks too..makes for quicker, easier cleanups.

    i put 845 on sink and its pretty easy to clean once or twice a week

    tried dg501 and yellow pad and it did ok job, didnt had enough time to do it but my mom did notice how clean it is

    ill probably use either 845 or 476 when i clean it good

    haha a little Xylene didnt hurt anyone...I hear it help clean out the system from time to time.

    I use 845 on my sink and counters. Little Opti-Seal on the mirror to help fog come off faster.

    I agree with richy, I've been using the DG 601 and 105 combo as protection on my shower for a bit now and it works great, makes cleaning the shower much easier :thumb:

    Somewhat OT...if you have any P21S polishing soap, try it on the stainless steel sink in your kitchen. Pretty amazing.
