Ran across this and wanted some of your thoughts?

I cannot really find much from searching the web on this. Looks to be similar to coatings like Opti-coat but thick enough to "fill-in" light scratches, etc? Don't have any idea on protection nor what it would look like after a certain amount of time.

Clear Coat | Scratch Repair | GlowPro

I'm just curious to others thoughts on this stuff and if anyone else has any experience with it or just know more about it.

No Experience with the product... have never heard of it.

My feelings on "miracle products" like this are "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

If this truly worked as claimed, you can be sure it would be HUGE news. For this reason I imagine it is mostly marketing hype directed at average car owners who are hoping to stumble across something to make their car look like new with little to no work.

Is there any reason that you do not want to polish the paint before you out a coating on?

This would be your best bet as coating over any defects will keep the defects.

Opti-Coat should be applied to as-"scratch"-free-as-possible paint.
It's optically clear...scratches/blemishes will show.

OC also adds ~ 0.000078 inches of "thickness".
Is that enough to eventually fill-in light scratches, etc.,
if a person doesn't want to take care of any blemishes say: by polishing...that is?

:idea:

Use this GlowPro-product first to fill-in [add to the scratched-out CC (?)]...Then:
Opti-Coat for maximum thickness!!

Yes, this was exactly my thoughts as well.

I hadn't planned on buying this, in fact, I just purchased the Rupes 21ES! I cannot wait to begin using it and will primarily use the PC for smaller areas & sealants. I learn something new with my techniques, the polishes I'm using, pads, etc. every time I detail a car whether it's just a maintenance wash or full correction and cannot wait to see the abilities of the Rupes. I'm very grateful for all the experiences everyone here share as I learn so much from everyone here. :xyxthumbs:

I would be fine with products like this if they didn't use the term "remove" in the description. It is not removing anything. It is covering or filling in the defects. Then there is the question of how long the filling capability will actually last.

Ok I was just asking that's all. Certainly polishing before a coating is always they best way to approach it.

I think all of us learn something every time we do a car and that's what makes detailing fun. Ever car ever paint every polish ever tool ever pad will always be different and will make each detailing job a fun learning experience.
