It works chemically. You need a lot of rags to carry away the old oxidized stuff, and you MUST then put a coat of wax on it, but it worked great in the 80s, presuming they haven't changed the formula. It's still available though:

Good thinking, but I'm trying to avoid a wax. At least until I can get some kind of clear coat on my truck, as I have to repaint and age the tailgate and one bedside because they had been replaced at some point.
