If you can feel the scratch with your finger it won’t work. It’s too deep . It works for light scratches and when things brush against your car.

@marktrower2267 11 месяцев назад

Once again another fantastic and informative video Dave

@karl3927 Год назад

Thank you for the video Dave. Absolutely spot on about having realistic expectations of what a product can do. Too many people believe the marketing hype and become disappointed when it doesn't perform miracles.

@epicautomotivedetailing Год назад

Thanks Karl. I did like the product but i think educating people is the key so they understand everything before they buy it

@ruttl1 Год назад

Dave thank you again from across the pond and for making a great video. You are helping detailer's in our business who doesn't have a massive budget to buy expensive products. It is helpful for removing light and fine scratches. I also liked the Clare Balding picture and the Aquaman it's harmful to him too. Have a great day and thank you again!

I've used this after Jack knifing a trailer into a bumper on my last car and really did work the marks out well. I found a damp Autosmart foam applicator was best for using with this . Also helps with headlight discolouration, I've no quarms with it but as you say its not setting expectations too high and you will be fine

@rogerbeltz2370 11 месяцев назад

Really appreciate your thoroughness and honesty in presenting this video review, however, I wonder if plain old rubbing compound might work just as well. Btw- Dave my guess in respect to slight "halo" or discoloration you noted especially when polishing the rear side quarter panel, this could be because the product is "eating into" the clear coat which is used on all car paints from 2001 to date. If my guess is correct (and I don't know for certain it is) but if it is, this product and your "elbow grease" could be doing more harm than good. In any event, the product is way over rated and NOTHING short of professional body work (probably sanding and re-painting) would restore deep scratches in a car's paint finish. Thanks mate.

@davidcorrie625 8 месяцев назад

So I have this issue where I can see a slight blemish on my passenger door after use. I am afraid you may be right, and I’d love some tips here. I’ve tried polish and wax so far but I walked by my vehicle and could still see it. What can I do?

Yeah it would make it last longer. One for the car traders maybe. I can see where it works in many scenarios

@kwl189 Год назад

Wow nice work Dave. Would you prefer to use AG super resin polish over this? AG seems to have a nice following. I recently picked up a cheap DA from Argos but don't have the bravery to use some compound with it and do my cars. Yes I know I'm a coward but I'm terrified at ruining my paint. I have no clue about the thickness of the clear coat, what speed and pads I should use on it etc. Or even what is the best compound to use for that particular paint like Rupez or Koch Chemie etc.

@DixonsVideos 11 месяцев назад

Super resin is a filler, it doesn't remove scratches. Still a good product, but scratches will return after a few washes.

@davidcorrie625 8 месяцев назад

Hi Dave, at about the 5:15 mark you mentioned this haze or blemish left behind. I used this product around a few door handles and also the side of a door. Now I am left with a slight blemish I can’t seem to remove. Is there anything I can do or do you know what may have happened here? I was not in the sun nor did I let the product dry. Could this be the product eating away my clear coat? I have a 2022 so I’m not sure if I can do anything to fix it or if I’m up the creek. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@amandawebb6861 4 месяца назад

This has also happened to me. Any answers?

@RobinDaelman 8 месяцев назад

I used it and it looked more or less fine BUT after 20 days going to my local carwash, the scratches were again visible as before. So, my conclusion it is the wax that's hiding the scratches. I'm wondering when people post a review whether they did it right after applying this product or wait until the car was washed after a period of time and evaluate again.

Yeah it's good for the beginner and I think by hiding fillers it gives the beginner audience a bit of confidence even if it may not exactly be perfect

@dennissnoek93 Год назад

the polymer is filling also the scratches, i tried one time but wasn't that suprised after cleaning it with stripwash al of the polymers where gone and a lot of small scratches where back. although the filling capability is really good in my opinion, but a good compound will remove a lot more scratches, this one is more a filler then a polish

@epicautomotivedetailing Год назад

Yep 100% agree. Its amazing because it's a best seller on Amazon so just shows how easy people can buy something based on a name and not it's true capabilities

@djmandrick Год назад

Sounds like a turntablism competition. I bought something similar for my bro's wife who had driven down a hedge and done a double key-like scratch every panel. I realised it was just a firm cutting compound of which I could have used anything i own already to do it and rsults in my application were never going to fix it, just make it less noticable by blending up to it. I mean it worked to a point but it took ages and many passes not to mention it was hard work. This is def for people without a polisher and left a haze like you showed. Worked better by applying with a small-folded interior microfibre cloth (like your grey wipe-off one, rather than a sponge as that gave it a bit more bite. Oh, and poor Aquaman!
