53836 Hybrid Solutions Scratch Repair Kit, Car Scratch Remover and Restorer That Repairs Surface Scratches, Swirls, Paint Transfer and More, Boxed Kit

Wish you could somehow respray the clear coat on your car to remove deep scratches, cover touch-up paint, or just make the whole car look like showroom new again? This stuff is it! I restored two entire cars, solving multiple problems -- worn thin/missing clear coat, deep sand scratches, faded/dull finish. I also coated a beautiful, Mercedes E350 just to make it spectacular like a dealership. I must emphasize that this product is an industrial resin, in an industrial solvent. It's not just another nanometer/ceramic coating. You can control how thick you want to coat, from extremely fine to heavy. The solvent is very aggressive, removing all previous waxes, impossible grim, oxidation, etc., yet does not melt paint like acetone. It prepares the surface so that the compound (included) is extremely effective and easy to use by hand (just be sure to use a compounding sponge, like Chemical Guys BUFX_202, which is not included). The instructions state there are two ways to use, wipe on/wipe off or simply just wipe-on. I found that the best results are to combine both methods, using the compound between them. Begin with wipe on/wipe off. Apply generously and allow to penetrate for about a minute; you have up to 3-4 minutes to remove the product, so work quickly, in manageable sections. Be sure to use fresh microfiber cloths. For light scratches and old paint, this first step is all you'll need. Use the compound to remove even more scratches, or just reduce the coating to an extremely fine, embedded/nanometer level. For bad scratches, wipe on a second, heavy coat and don't touch. Apply in large, overlapping circles. If you still have very bad scratches or badly worn clear coat, apply another heavy coat. Some people complain that this product makes the finish hazy. The reason is that they skipped the first step (wipe on/wipe off). The solvent dissolves and releases all previous waxes, which float to the surface and leave a haze. It can be removed afterwards with compounding, but this process adds a lot of work. Wipe on/wipe off removes all waxes without much effort. The surface becomes squeaky clean, making the compound much more effective than if you tried compounding a waxed surface to start. By itself, wipe on/wipe off is much more effective than conventional compounding, without all the usual friction, sweat, and wear that thins the overall level of car finish. The results are extremely durable. One year later, the application is as fresh as the day one, so it likely will last many years. A single kit has enough product to do half an entire, 4-door car using the 2-step method I've described.

You probably need to be an experienced enthusiast to get the best out of this kit, maybe not best for beginners. For some scratches, precision wet sanding is necessary before using the compound, as I could not remove some scratches with compound alone. If you prep a deeper scratch so that it is no longer visible, you will remove clearcoat. (Not every scratch is clear only, so this is where some expertise come into play to determine is touch up paint is needed). The resin fills nicely, usually without a visible blend line. You may need to lightly wet sand and/or compound the repaired area if you are a perfectionist. All in, good value if you are willing to spend some time.

Seems to work well for me. You will need a microfiber cloth as well.

Overall a worthwhile product. Had a deep clearcoat scratch that was VERY noticeable. Had difficulty removing it even with wet sanding and cutting compound. This product applies a thin layer of clearcoat that dries shiney. HOWEVER, I would recommend blending the product at about 3 hours versus the full 24 hours. Edges of the clearcoat will be obvious if you dont blend it to the rest of the paint job. Overall very pleased. Would recommend.

Used to remove scratch off my door, inside of the handle. Easy to use. Had clear instructions. Worked like a charm, shines like a new car now.

Received some "rocky mountain pinstripes" on my Toyota (scratches from brushing up against trees on an off road trail), and wanted to use this product to fill in the clear coat. All of the scratches were superficial and none went to the bare metal. I followed the preparation instructions meticulously. Applied the product and let it cure over the weekend. After it cured the end result looked terrible and makes me feel awful about the way my Sequoia looks now. The product did not self flatten as promised, was streaked, feels bumpy. I decided to polish the area with a very mild one-step polish and a very mild pad on my DA polisher. To my surprise, the product came off almost entirely except for these random blotches. I'm incredibly disappointed and hate the way it turned out. Do NOT under any circumstances purchase and use this trash on your vehicles. See the pics I'm including for proof.

Used on a black car on three light scratches on left door. Followed instructions waited 24hrs to cure. It left 3 shiny dark black blotches (form the clearcoat they provide) where i used on scratches, blotches can clearly be seen in daytime. I used a good compound and polishing tool to remove the shiny blotches but was not easy, took me about 5 sessions to take out but only got rid of 90% blotches. If you not have a good polishing tool or compound it will be harder to remove the spots. Overall it did an ok job nothing great, it will just fill in the scratches better. I do not recommend if have a black car, it was just not worth the elbow grease compared to the results.

Works well for light scratches; a deep scratch not so much. It did make the scratch less noticeable the did not make the scratch go away.

La caja venía abierta y faltaban piezas, estoy muy seguro de que estaba usado, pésimo.

Great product!! Saved me $1,400 in a full refinishing of my car. We used two kits and it got rid of everything.

Je conseille le produit!!! A enlever toute égratignure et même un transfert de peinture 😃😃😃😃😃

It didn't work waste of money and time.
