Sponge Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Too good to be true? Smart Pen 2-4-1 + FREE Smart Car Polish A friend at work saw this pen on the TV and suggested I take a look at it. (My car is keyed down both sides.) I'm always sceptical of things like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I would stay clear of it. Any You Tube video's of success? If it really worked it would be selling for triple that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Not the same make, but a similar idea I think. YouTube - Simoniz Fix It Car Scratch Repair Review, Scam or Real I think I'll give it a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hi! When you say keyed, can you feel it with your finger nail or your see white (unless its a white car!)? These ideas of scratch repairs can sometimes help, but often the tasks so big that they dont have a realistic chance of making it better. That said many scratches can benefit from even a hand polish with something like Meguiars ScratchX 2.0 and Ultimate Compound. Once you soften the edges marks tend to be less visable as they do not catch the light so much. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) They won't polish out. Quite deep, but not to metal. Exposes white, car is black. Catches your nail very easily. Edited July 8, 2010 by Sponge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Ahh yeah, thats always worst when they get to the white. Get a touch up paint kit, and fill in a layer at a time in the scratch. Purchase this: Langka The Blob Eliminator (2oz) - Shinearama And use it to thin out the clearcoat layer that you put on top. Apply something highly reflective such as Super Resin Polish and Extra Gloss Protection to the car (the reflections help hide the imperfections!). You can probably get it looking pretty decent.

patently Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I find spam to be very good at curing scratches. There's something about the consistency of the processed meat that allows it to fill the scratch perfectly. Take care to keep the spam tin away from the paintwork though, it has sharp edges.

Luncheon meat works ok for cheap Korean imports, whereas you'll need proper spam for premium models. For a supercar, only finely sliced venison. Corned beef? Pu-lease!

auna Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Those scratch removal pens are useless. i have tried a few and if they work they mask it a bit but as you change your viewing angle, you can see it is still there My advice....if you wish to try it out anyway..buy it try it and return it . Buy one that offers so called result money back guarantee though so that when you return it you can always say the stuff does not work and get your money back.
