Turtle Wax T374KT Color Magic Car Polish with ChipStik January 5, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have a 1998 Dodge Stratus that I need to sell that had many scratches on the trunk lid from a cat that decided to turn the trunk lid into a sleeping spot. Every time I would approach the car at night, the cat would jump off the car in haste, creating deep scratches from its paws each time it did so. I bought the Turtle Wax product at Auto Zone in hope that it would cover the scratches well enough for me to sell the car. "Looks" is everything when trying to sell a car; believe me! After using the product, I was extremely pleased that it not only covered the deep scratches, but made the car look like new; I almost don't want to sell it now that it looks so good!
The bottle the product comes in has a cut-out in it where a lip stick type of applicator is stored. The lip stick type of applicator holds a lip stick style dispensed hard, colored wax the same color as the liquid wax in the bottle. When you have a deep scratch to cover up, you take the lip stick applicator and rub the hard, colored wax into the scratch using a back and forth motion that is perpendicular to the scratch (so the hard wax gets pounded into the grove in the paint). My scratches were so deep that the gray primer was visible in each one of them. When you've rubbed enough wax in the scratch, there will be some wax left on top of the paint next to the scratch, but some buffing with an old, soft, cotton sock will remove all the hard wax except for what's in the scratch. Although this takes a little time, the result is very rewarding, and seems to give you the motivation to "finish the job". After you have all your scratches filled with the hard wax, you can then use the soft wax in a bottle to gloss over rest of the panel the scratches are on. The soft wax can be put on with another soft, cotton sock (I use old, white socks with holes in them for this). I usually do one panel at a time because this does take some work, and seeing one panel "finished" and looking like new frequently makes me want to keep going until the whole car is done. Like I said earlier, the results are amazing. The only limitation is that there are countless shades and colors of car paint, and you have to get kind of lucky that there is a color and shade available that is exactly the same as your car. For instance my car is a "True" red, but the Turtle wax product is kind of a Purplish red, and didn't exactly match. But...from a distance of about 5 or so feet you can't see the difference, and the car looks so shiny that you can shave in the reflection!
I would highly recommend this product to anyone that wants to either put a high-gloss shine on their favorite car, or anyone that wants to camouflage a scratched up car long enough to get it sold.
