    I was looking at the promo video for this while standing in the Q at Woodies, my first response was "Yeah right, junk, one born every minute, etc" The Q took a while and by the time I it was my turn I thought, feck it, for a €10 I'll give it it try, FULLY expecting it not to work.

    Tried it on some light scratches (through clearcoat, paint and into primer but not to metal) and feck me, they just disappeared before my eyes. A gentle wipe of the surplus liquid and the scratches are 100% gone. This really is a seeing is believing product that I fully expected to be a con. It got rid of scratches that only a good workout with a machine polisher could have done.
    Well impressed and I'm off to buy some more of them.

    I have used them on my fathers car and also on scrapes to the gel coat on my boat. They really do work quite well and are worth having in the glove box!

    Ya I had the same with the Matis one, but I'd say if you were to polish the area first then maybe buff it a bit, let it dry and put some sealent over it it'd do the job pretty well, although at that stage it maybe better to try to buff out the scratch.

    Just use a clear laquer, it is even better, as it wont come off after awhile

    cojomo - did you follow the proper guidelines i.e. leave it cure for 48 hours and not let it get wet before washing?

    Its funny, in the video is looks like they've just rewinded a video of a pen actually making the mark. The users hand movement is counter-intuitive.
