I have a fairly new car with the standard clear coat, and is still in good shape, is this product overkill? Just minor surface scratches.

It worked well removing minor scratches from my paint on 2011 softail deluxe. I got a great mirror shine.

My is car is 2 yrs old. I thought it did a very good job. Took a lot longer to do (6 hours) but I have a big car. Follow the instructions to the letter. To get more swirls out do 2 or 3 apps, of first product. Wipe good in between apps. Take your time. Have lots of micro cloth.

If your scratches are truly minor, this would work, but use it only where needed. Your original finish is probably better as is if it is in "good" condition. Use this on the scratches and follow up with a true wax, not a polish, on the rest of the car.

I left a review. It looked like new for a few months. Then it developed a haze. The clear coat seems to become opaque. It does scratch easily also. After 1 year I re-did mine because I hated the hazy look again. It was much easier to de-do because most of the oxidation was already sanded off last year. I prefered the Wipe New due to easier to use sanding pad and pre-soaked clear coat micro fiber patch applied it evenly and easily without runs or dripping. I used the rag afterwords on the black plastic trim and tailight lenses to amazing effect. I expect it will also haze after a year and be hard to remove but it looks fantastic for now.

In my opinion it's for both since it doesn't let sharp objects scratch the laptop and once you want it to look like new just take off the sticker and it'll be clean and pretty. It doesn't cover the corners very well though. Just be careful with your laptop!

I just used the pre-cleaner first and then LG for the first time 2 weeks ago and after using the pre-cleaner the car looked awesome. I think it takes off a lot of microscopic junk from the paint. If you could swing it, I would do it. Or just do a clay bar, whichever is cheaper. I did clay bar first. But it was after the pre-cleaner the car looked so shiny! And then I think the LG adds a lot of protection to that shine and adds a bit more shine also.

Huh, $100 is for 1 detailing, this kit will allow you to detail your car every month for a year or more. I don't think any detailing is going to remove bad scratches, you'll need a repaint or touchup at least.

I've done two garages with the Rust-Oleum epoxy floor paint. On the first, I did not use any clear coat. On the second, I top coated with clear coat. The clear coat finish looks better, cleans better, and to me is worth the additional cost. I echo another commentator's advice: hold back a small amount of the clear coat components so that when you are done, you can cover any missed areas. If you find that you did a perfect job, then the held back clear coat can applied where the floor gets the most wear. It is a win-win either way.

I used it on my dash about a month ago, it's black vinyl. The shine still looks the same the day I applied it. It doesn't seem like I will have to use it anytime soon. I'll probably do it once a year if that. I don't see it becoming more dull by not repeatedly being used. Of course, not every dash is exactly the same material/quality but I think it will last a while for me.

Hello....I use this on our white 128i and it looks superb (I apply this every other day or so to a car that receives an extensive detail - from me - about twice a year. This keeps most of the surface contaminants from building up. It is excellent on anodized clear-coated wheels as well). Our BMW is five years old and it looks like the day it was delivered. This is a great basic detailer to keep on hand. Thanks

Well on my civic and bimmer it's lasted easily over 6 months and the clarity it still awesome. Even if it was an annual thing you did I'm sure your lights would look close to factory. Adding a clear coat will extend the yellowing / haze caused by UV. The system is well worth under 20 bucks. Id say aim for once every year and just keep your eye on it. Some material could react slightly different than others.

No its really not needed its perfect no dings or scratches at all... the protecting cover works extremely well.. once in a while you may want to wipe the inside from lint or dust but it really is a great set up.

I bought this product and it is really good; however, it does not remove chipped paint nor scratches from your car. Again, when used correctly it will make your car look great. I bought a small bottle of black paint from my car dealer > brush the chips with the paint > then I lay toilet paper on it to take off access > then do it all over again > three times is sufficient.

As of now, there isn't any top coat that is really great. Pretty much any quality automotive clearcoat already has UV protection. Some has more than others. However, even with the best it won't keep this pigment from fading in the sun. 2-3 layers of clear is the normal. If you start getting too much paint it can/will wrinkle the finish.

I'll be honest... I haven't tried it yet... I would tell you that if the scratches are down to the primer, you're not going to get them out with compound. There is no paint to polish in that case. There are numerous repair specialists who can repair minor stuff like that for a couple hundred dollars (like fixing rock nicks in your bumper) in your driveway. Hope this helps

My experience is that the on the exterior, that newness look lasts a few weeks but the general improvement lasts for many months - of course it depends on exposure factors. On the interior, it looks great for 6 months. But I keep my car in a garage. Compared to any other preservative, it is incredibly better. And it is quite not as greasy feeling like that of the "armor" of the prime supplier in this field

If you find the right color number for you car that matches your silver (there are many silver formulas) then yes it is amazing for small scratches. Be sure to get the clear also and have patience, and read the instructions. I used a small amount on an artist brush with just a few hairs left rather than the roller ball applicator and slowly filled in the scratch a thin layer at a time and soon it disappeared. Add the clear to match the shine and finish with rubbing compound and wax and you can hardly tell the scratch is there. Make sure you let each layer dry.

If your car is older and has a lackluster finish. You can use it all over to restore the paint. It removes all the little scratches and swirl marks and oxidation, etc.... I wouldn't use it a whole lot though. Use regular wax almost every time. A car needs to be waxed regularly to protect the paint from rain, etc....

Suggest you delay use of LG on "new" car for 3 months after purchase/build date, just to ensure that clear coat has aged. Then you're good to go. Be certain that you apply it on a completely clean/grease-free/road tar-free surface, lest you cover-over the crud. Just a thought...
