"I find this product great for quick detailing. It works well with my dual action buffer, providing a nice shine without damaging my thin Mazda paint."

"After using this on a car that hadn't been waxed in years, I was pleased with the results. It looked shiny and better, but I topped it off with Meguiar's Ultimate Wax for that extra shine."

"I've been detailing for years and love this 3 in 1. After compounding, it gives an amazing finish when used on a DA. I used it on a 2013 Lexus ES and it came out like glass."

"I found this kit to be fantastic! It worked wonders restoring the shine on my 1996 Beneteau 281 hull using a 7-inch diameter sander."

"This is a great little kit! It effectively removed oxidation, shined up my surface, and provides protection for a long time. I would definitely buy it again!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked on my fiberglass hood. While it didn't eliminate every defect, I got the best shine since it was new. Just a heads up, keep it away from expensive eyewear!"

"I used this Novus plastic polish kit on my clear plastic gauge faces for a 1979 Pontiac Firebird. It successfully corrected about 95% of the defects and left a very slick finish."

"I recently got a Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet with a heavily scratched camera lens cover. After using Novus, the transformation was dramatic. I initially started with #2, but switching to #3 really removed the deep scratches and haze. The results exceeded my expectations!"

"After struggling to restore my acrylic glasses' clarity through the optometrist, I discovered Novus. It has breathed new life into my glasses, smoothing out dullness and scratches without causing damage. I highly recommend it for anyone with old glasses!"

"I really enjoy this kit. It leaves my vehicle looking and smelling nice, making it perfect for a teen driver or anyone wanting to care for their car. While it may not match the top brands, it's still a solid choice."

"I chose this product set because I've had great experiences with Armor All. As I start my detailing business, these products have proven to be incredible at removing grime and leaving a pleasant scent. I highly recommend them!"

"Although I love this product, it was disappointing to find leakage from two containers, with both being half empty upon arrival. That was a letdown!"

"I followed the instructions and managed to remove surface scratches. However, don’t expect it to handle really deep ones."

"I used it on my plexiglass closet windows and I highly recommend this product!"

"I was disappointed as it was absolutely worthless for my sunglasses. I followed the directions exactly, but minor scratches remained. Plus, one bottle arrived open and leaking. Returning it immediately!"

"After noticing a sandy texture on my car's paint, my brother-in-law suggested this clay bar. Working in sections was rewarding, and I could see the grime coming off. It made my car look brand new!"

"This product worked wonders on my wife's car. After dealing with tree sap and other contaminants, it left a clear, clean, smooth finish. Definitely worth the effort!"

"This kit worked wonders on my 10-year-old Camry. After spending most of its life in the California sun and with 195,000 miles of wear, the car went from dull to a nice clear shine. I did everything manually and it took about 6 hours, but I was really happy with the results!"

"I purchased this set for my used Jeep Wrangler because it had been through the car wash too many times. I was pleasantly surprised by how much it reduced the swirl marks after the first treatment. I plan to continue using it monthly, and I believe I can completely eliminate the swirl marks in 3 months. I saved myself $300 by not going to a professional detailer!"

"Even though I hadn't polished a car in years, I was amazed by the results on my black car. The photo shows it halfway through the ultimate compound, and it looked crisp and mirror-like. However, I noticed there were no instructions included, which might be confusing for someone unfamiliar with detailing."

"I recently used the Meguiar's G190200Eu Scratch Removal Kit for some light scratches, blemishes, and swirls on my car, and it worked wonderfully. The kit provides everything necessary, and the instructions are clear and straightforward. It effectively removed the light scratches and significantly improved my car's paint appearance. The included applicator pad and microfiber towel are of good quality, making the process smooth and hassle-free. Overall, this kit is a great solution for anyone looking to eliminate minor imperfections from their car's surface."

"I had high hopes for this product to remove light pinstripe scratches from branches and other debris on my car. I followed the manufacturer's instructions exactly, but I ended up with huge swirl scratches on the clear coat that look terrible in certain light. While I did see some reduction in the original scratches, the effect was temporary, and they started to reappear in a few days. I wouldn’t recommend this product, and if you do use it, avoid applying with a drill—use a cloth and some elbow grease instead!"

"I always rent cars when I travel and opt for extra insurance as a precaution. However, even with insurance, the deductible can be quite high. I’ve been burned by rental companies charging for small scratches before. Now, with this product, I’m scratch-free! It’s easy to use and absolutely worth the price. Take that, greedy rental agencies!"

"I recently used the Mothers Complete Ultimate Wax System Kit on my car and was pleasantly surprised. The pre-wax cleaner worked wonders on the grime and scratches. The shine it gave was remarkable, making my car look years younger!"

"I've been detailing cars for over 40 years, and this trio from Mothers ranks among the best I've used. The glossy finish and water beading are excellent, and while it requires three products, the results are definitely worth it!"

"I appreciate how easy this kit is to use. The glaze gave my car a deep, wet look, and although the scratch polish was decent, I've seen better. Overall, it made my paint look new again at a reasonable price."

"I found the polish to be great, as it beads water nicely. However, I noticed the Scratch Doctor isn't as effective as marketed; I tried it on several spots and the results were poor."

"I've been using Nu Finish for over twenty years. It gives a high-quality finish and is easy to apply and remove. After 13 years, my Ridgeline’s finish is as shiny as when I first got it!"

"I purchased these items based on someone’s recommendation, and I'm very satisfied. They provide a beautiful shine, smell good, and are well worth the money."
