Hello,

I'm under the impression that people are receiving these now (thanks to those who have emailed me to let me know!)

This thread is for results on your car, or whatever car you bought it for. I will start with the pics that I put up in the group buy thread:

Managed to have a crack on my brothers MINI, this was literally about 4minutes work, one coat, and the first time I've tried to use it:

So yeah please keep all results in here, and on topic please.

Regards,

Kosta
 
Got mine today just in time for the weekend. I'll update this post tomorrow when I get round to using it. Thanks for all your efforts scooby.
 
Looks like mine has arrived too. Thanks for sorting it Kosta, it is appreciated.

I'm taking the parents to the Airport at 05:30 tomorrow morning, so I should be able to get an early start on it when I get back :D
 
Please ensure that you try it on a small section and follow the instructions fully, guys! Make sure you wear the glove too, it's a pain to get the paint off :D As many pics as possible would be great too :)
 
Got next week off, so will give my bonnet a full going over, as well as trying to sort out the keying on the passenger side, nicely given to me by some utter moron last week.
 
I've recieved and tried mine today thanks. No pics yet.
I've found it's working okay at the moment. Not great though. I've found the main problem is it not covering the chips. When I smudge with the clove it justs pulls most of the paint out. I guess you have to build it up slowly? How are other people doing on the other chips?
 
I've given mine ago, it's looking better but not fantastic. As mentioned I think building up layers will fill deeper scratches/chips. Also leaving it for more than 2 mins helps.
 
No, the leon.

Someone keyed the BMW too, oddly when it was parked in the same street (near work).

Might see if I can set up some kind of recording, or just wait nearby.
 
does this work on keys scratches? or is it for little chip?

ive got a key scratch all down the side thats not too deap, will it do it?

the results on the mini looks really good

Yes, just done half of the keying down the passenger side of the Leon. Front door is now un-noticable. Its got too hot (outside temperature) to continue, but I have no doubts that I can completely remove the rest of the keying.
 
Done the base coat on mine (had extra container inside with some, for silver cars). Will finish it after the F1 qualifying :)
 
OK had mixed results. It seems great on light scratches and scuff marks but wasn't as thick as I thought it would be so will need several layers on the deeper stone chips.

GRILLE/NOSE WILL NEED A LOT MORE WORK :p

So generally very good but will need to spend a few more hours to get the main grille tidy, due the millions of tiny and odd one or two big stone chips.
