Carfidant Scratch Repair and Swirl Remover - Car Paint Scratch Remover Restorer Kit with Buffer Pad - Polishing

I had some light scratches from some limbs/branches that I ran up against. I decided to try this product with not much hope that it would help. I have to say that it exceeded my expectations. These were light scratches, not at all deep. It removed most of the marks to where I cannot even tell where they used to be. I do have one more small area that I need to go over a second time with a little more pressure. This was easy to use and wipe off. May not work for deeper marks or scratches, but overall I am very happy with the product! Read more

worked very well. Had a truck bed cover fly off on the highway and hit my car. It dented my hood and left scratches, this product did a great job… these scratches were on the pretty deep. It got the lighter scratches up with ease and impressed me with the tougher scratches i provide photos of. Good buy Read more

Works great! Gets light scratches out but not the super deep ones. All around great product Read more

I applied to one section of the car to test and seems easy enough to use. I am waiting for my orbital to arrive to apply to the whole car. I don't want to do the whole car by hand. Cloudy day so I haven't been able to compare the finish to the rest of the car. UPDATE: I finally got to use this properly on a sedan that is 3 years old. It's a daily driver with only about 40k miles. I finally got around to cleaning and claying my car before I could use this properly. I used an dual action orbital to apply it using foam pads. The first few application on the foam pad had to build up what so it could spread easier. Using the orbital certainly sped up the working of the scratch removal/polishing. By keeping it on a low setting of about 2,000 RPM I was able to work a decent size area and get the polish to break down to wher I knew it was doing it's job. Using a quality microfiber cloth about 325 GSM made the wiping up extremely easy with no mess. This brand says they're family owned and is aggressive with offering free product for leaving (I assume) positive reviews. I was somewhat neutral in my first post because I couldn't do a complete job, but after using this I'm very happy with the resutls. Many many small scratches and swirls disappeared. Most notably, the side had rubbed by another car. After working to remove the marked rubbed paint that was left on the side, virtually most of the thin scratching that was along the entire length of the car is gone or virtually invisible. I did some small dent pulling from the rubbing and the car looks about 98% to original. As part of my consideration from leaving my review before, I got their waxing compound and completed the process. I would only give this 4 stars for value because of the price of a small bottle. Compared to many of the other products out there, I will probably do more research and end up buying a different brand in the future, but I'm happy with the results here. I will review the wax product over on that listing. One thing that so many people on other reviews don't get is that this is not for fixing rock chips or deep scratches. The only way to fix those is through filling (if necessary), repainting and clear coating. This will take care of so many surface scratches and swirl marks from day to day washing, road grit and allow you to see the richness and, in my case, metallic paint flecks clearly again. Finally one notable feature, it took care of so many scratches under the door handles that accumulate from grabbing for the handle over and over. I did not expect that to come out so well. Overall, an excellent product, but maybe a little pricey for my tastes (but I don't have extensive experience with detailing products and costs) Read more

I'm going to be honest, at first I thought this product was useless and I was getting ready to ask for a refund. You don't see immediate effects until after about 5 minutes of circling the scratches you want removed. You have to keep circling, using more product until the paint starts to get removed. It may not seem like its working at first but the more you go in circles and then keep applying pressure, the paint will eventually fully remove. Just need to be patient. It took me about 20-25 minutes to fully remove all the paint I needed to remove. The before and after pictures speak for themselves, well worth the money and I did not have to seek professional work to get this done. I will say, if you have the attachment for the sponge with a drill, it would probably be a lot easier and faster than manually doing it yourself. Good arm workout I will say. Read more

Decent. Nothing special Read more

I used this scratch and swirl remover on a few light scratches and surface marks on my car, and overall it did a pretty good job. It’s not a miracle fix in one pass, but with a bit of patience and several rounds of polishing, the scratches became noticeably less visible and the paint looked much better. The compound spreads easily and the included buffer pad works fine for hand application. It also doesn’t have a strong or unpleasant smell, which makes the process more comfortable when you’re working on the car for a while. After a few passes, the finish started to regain some gloss and the surface marks began to fade. It works best on light scratches and swirl marks rather than deeper ones. Another positive is that once applied and polished, it leaves the surface looking clean and well protected. The paint had a noticeable improvement in shine and looked refreshed compared to before. That said, it does take some effort. You really need to put in a bit of elbow grease and repeat the polishing a few times to see the improvement. I probably could have gotten even better results if I had kept going, but my arm started to get tired after a while so I stopped once I was satisfied with the improvement. One suggestion for the manufacturer would be to offer a version that works easily with a drill attachment or small buffer tool. Using it by hand works, but a powered option would make the process faster and much less tiring. Overall, it’s a solid product that can noticeably improve light scratches and restore shine. Just be prepared to spend a little time and effort working it into the paint. Read more
