Malco Paint Rejuvenator - One Step Automotive Paint Restoration/Clear Coat Scratch and Swirl Remover/Re-Shine Old, Aged Paint to Look New / 32 Fl Oz (111732)

Fantastic product, it works great! I found that after applying with a with a 6 inch yellow pad on my buffer and seeing the shine appear. I would wipe off the excess by hand before it completely dried with a microfiber towel. This would bring the area to a just waxed type shine. This speeds up the process tremendously. It brought back the color, the shine and made the surface smooth as glass on my 23 year old SUV. The photos show what it can do. The difference was so dramatic I had to take a picture while I was working. Clean up the buffing pad when done with water before product drys on it. When the entire SUV was finished I put a good sealer wax on it the next day. The difference of before and after is amazing, well worth the cost and would buy again but I have plenty remaining, enough for another car if I had one.

This water based urethane is quite helpful to the finish of my older cars. It calls for use without dilution and then buffing with repeating as needed. I've used it with a damp cloth like regular car polish (and hand buff with an old towel) finding it quite successful in filling minor surface abrasion to restore the luster of the finish. It seems to be a bit superior to the urethane base car polish (car wax) that I had been using. The other polish would result in 'white' lines in deeper scratches and this product does not seem to leave white lines.

Works as described

Works really good takes the oxidation away leaves new paint cause it does it all in one step buffing takes the oxidation away and at the same time it's polishing the paint leaving the new paint polished.

Works good on lite oxidation. Not so well on medium to heavy.

I have three cars 1998 Honda, 2006 Honda and 2014 4Runner. I had previously used Accelerate as this had an advisor to use with a powered buffer. I finished with Extreme Top Coat a wax they make - Chemical Guys. Accelerate was pretty good, but the cars develops leopard like patterns on the roof and hood that came back in about 3 months. They cars and truck were much improved. I bought a buffer and said I am going to try this radical restorer. They don't say on the bottle to let it dry, but that is how I did it. Have your applicator damp - I used a nylon scruffy pad with scrubber on one side and sponge on the other, I applied with sponge and rubbed in it with the scrubber side gently- it flattened the surface without scratching any of the cars, I let it dry to a haze and at first took it off with a pad which took a while and the circular pad got clogged [5"] pretty fast. So I thought - let me try a microfiber towel. Way faster so I don't think they should limit this to people with machines. I had no trouble and it was far easier. It was spectacular. Use a small applicator so you can focus on making sure the compound contacts everything and if you see discoloration, if you rub the area is should start to unify in color, then I stopped and mover on. I did an entire side or roof or hood before it dried. Do not try this in the sun. The residue came off easy - use some form of towel fabric for some bite. The paint was again one nice deep blue, purple color or gray or blue depending on vehicle. I used Extreme Top Coat because it gives it a blinding shine and more protection. I find it shinier than the hydrophilic ceramic coatings even their pricey one. The Asian ones online are crap. Chemical guys have a million products and if I had a million dollars I probably would keep on experimenting. These two made my life easier and they are cheap for what they do. For all the vinyl and rubber inside and out - I use the towelettes by Cerokote. I will never use another product other than theirs. Easy, does not smell, turns everything instantly black and satin gloss and yes I used them 3-4 months ago and everything is just like I did it. Also, I am not saying to do this, but experimentnig, I tried it on some irritating scratches on the car and it made them disappear. They must wet the rubber or surface in some way. It did turn the paint a different color or go away when I wiped it off. I know at 2$ a towelette they seem like a rip off, but I was so tired of putting on weekly coats of garbage that never lasted.

I wish I could give this garbage negative stars. My car had faded paint and a few oxidation spots. I buffed this in which didn’t do anything but after a few days it turned into a disgusting white cast leaving my car looking worse than before. I have no idea how to remove this. I wasted my money and am so incredibly angry.

Works very good!
