So you don't miss out on any upcoming content today? We are gonna be trying out and reviewing this Turtle Wax
Premium scratch repair kit that I purchased. I've never used this before
But I've got some scratches in my bumper on my Honda Civic. I believe they're just in the clear coat
So we're gonna try this out and hopefully it will do the trick
So well go through that process with you and then we'll come back into a review with you at the end and let you know
What our final thoughts were now if you are interested in this product?
I will put a link below to Amazon so you can pick that up as well as I did purchase a Arm & Hammer
Microfiber cloth that'll probably come in handy during this process
So let's go ahead and open up this box show you what's in there and then we'll get right into it
So the first thing is the paint clarifying compound then there's the spray lubricant where you spray where you're gonna be sanding
There's the premium scratch repair pen
Full set of instructions as well as three sanding pads. One of them is double-sided. The number one is the
2400 grit and if you turn that over you'll see the number two, which is 3200 grit. There's a
3600 grit, which is number three and a 4000 grit, which is number four
So now that you've seen what's inside the box the first step says to wash and dry your car. So let's go do that
So, let's show you the scratches we're going to be repairing today this one is on the front bumper driver's side
This is on the passenger side at the rear bumper behind the rear tire and there's some lighter scuffs on the rear bumper as well
So let's make sure those are good and dry and clean
So now we're going to go ahead and mask off the scratches so we have a dedicated work area we don't over sand
And
once that's done grab your premium scratch repair pen and a system kind of squish it and rub it on paper until the
Fluid starts to come out
Then you can go ahead and start putting that on your scratches and it's amazing how the scratches start to disappear right away
Wipe up any excess that's run down
So it says if your scratches are really bad and you've used touch-up paint to start out with the number one grit
I don't think ours are quite that bad so we can start out with the number two
So go ahead and spray your spray lubricant on the paint as well as the pad and it says to sand it about
20 times so we're gonna do that
And once that's done we're gonna move on to number three and do the exact same thing
And after 20 times of that number four and this is the four thousand grit
So go ahead and give that a good wipe
And you can see there's definitely some discoloration between their original gloss paint and where we've sanded
So, let's see if this paint clarifying compound can clean that up
That's significantly better than before but it still has some discoloration let's try it out on the other spots at the rear of the vehicle
All these light ones on the rear bumper
Those ones are definitely harder to see than up front
Alright, so I wasn't a hundred percent happy of where we sanded the shine looked a little dull compared to the original clear coat
So I went out and picked up this turtle wax polishing compound
We're gonna put some of that on there to see if we can get it close to the original shine
So this turtle wax?
Polishing compound says to polish it in with a cotton towel and then wipe it off before it dries
And that looks way better
Alright, so what are my thoughts on this turtle wax premium scratch repair kit
So let's make a scale of 1 to 10 and say 10 is using an autobody
Place to repaint your bumper I'd say that's a 10 out of 10
You're gonna get that mint fresh showroom finish when you do that. I don't think you're gonna get that with this product
I'd say this product is for those people who don't want to spend that thousand dollars and
They want to spend maybe 30 bucks to kind of make their scratches less noticeable. So when I
Before I started this project you could see the scratches from about you know, 15 20 feet away
They were kind of a white in color so they were noticeable
And what I was looking for is for them to disappear and when you walk around the car, you don't really notice them
So I think that's what I really did get out of this product. So when I use this product
by itself and
Did that though?
I did notice a bit of a color in the shine between the original clear coat and where
Had sounded but it took about seven feet before you kind of did start to notice that
So that kind of bothered me a little bit
so I
Did go out and buy this
polishing compound this turtle wax polishing compound and that seemed to help quite a bit and when I did use that
It made it
So I kind of had to go about three four feet away and stare at the scratches to kind of see where they were
So I'd recommend if you're gonna be using this to pick something like this up this turtle wax polishing compound or something else
I'll put links to both these products below if you're interested
in them
Now the other thing I'd say is before you go and do this
Try it in an inconspicuous spot to make sure you're gonna be happy with it
I don't want you going using this in some other place and then you're like hey, that looks awful
Try it somewhere else and make sure you're happy with it before you go do it all over your vehicle
But for me, I would use it again
and I think it was definitely worth the $30 to be able to walk by your car and not really notice the scratches and
Otherwise that wouldn't have done anything. I wouldn't have paid the thousand dollars to go to an auto body shop
So it definitely was a big upgrade from where it was before
So again both these products are in the description below
If you have used this product
I'd love to hear from you in the comments section below how it worked out for you as well the color of your vehicle
So if you're used a red car white car?
Write that down there as well because I'd like to hear whether it works better for different colors. So
Hopefully that kind of helps you out in this review of this product
So let's say ten out of ten auto body shop
This alone may be a seven out of ten and these combined I'd bump it up to an eight out of ten. So
Definitely you can still see it a little bit but it's much better than before so
