Hi, as I have seen pop-up's here on the Briskoda site advertising these Nano Magic cloths, I wondered if anyone has tried them and what were the results?

 

They claim to remove scratches etc from car bodywork, restoring it to that "New car" Look, in around three minutes.

 

I myself feel sceptical about them but they claim to have "Nano" Technology in that they contain an amount of metal dust, along with some oil, which combined with each other and used in the special fibre-based cloth, result in restoring damaged paintwork. 

 

I looked at an item about it and the "Story teller" seemed most impressed with the cloths and was happy to use them on both his and his wife car, his being a quite new BMW, which some little sh!t had keyed all over! 

 

The sceptic in me looked at the site in more detail and the small print stated that it was an "Advert" And all photos were models and the circumstances were basically, pre-written scripts. (No surprise there).

 

That said, someone, somewhere must have tried them and on a different search, i saw some people state they used and were happy with the results, overs stated the cloths improved but did not fully rid the car of the damage. I think they seem useful to remove very light surface scratches, nail marks around the door handles, etc, but will not restore real damage. (The spiel suggests the oil and metal sort of liquidity the paint and it flows in its own cracks or something like that).

 

Given that minor damage can be removed with other products and perhaps a little elbow grease, is there any substance to their claims and are they worth the money?  They seem quite small and wear out after a while, as the metal and oil will get used up so will need replacing after a few goes but if simple, if purchased whilst on special offer (Which is most likely every day except christmas day) And does the job, wheres the issue?

 

One negative thing I read was that there are many so called fake ones out there, which may have less stuff in them, if any at all. Beware of cheap imitations, so to speak but I would also like to be ware of expensive "Fakes", Too!

 

Opinions please, on the likelihood of them doing anything other then F*C*U*K-ing up your paintwork beyond repair, especially from anyone who HAS used them, whether with happy results or would not use another one to wipe their backside, in a Covid crisis and no loo roll!

 

 

It's obvious nonsense, nail marks clean off anyway, it's just a piece of cloth impregnated with a fine cutting compound.

 

Nano technology indeed.

Yeah, but does it work? Your opinion is just that... Someone must have tried them as well. I would think its similar to using T-Cut or something similar to remove little marks but it may be simpler and cleaner to get the same job, albeit more expensive for the genuine article. Its a shame the mods moved this as now, its barely glanced at.

The internet seems to be full of reviews stating it as a complete waste of time and money. I've seen these type of things before and generally the marks are mostly still there once the product is wiped away from the panel.  A good microfibre applicator with something like Rupes medium or the new DA fine would be a far better solution for this type of thing. It would also be just a simple case of applying it to the panel/scuff by hand with the applicator and wiping it off with a cloth. It will leave no dust or residue afterwards either.
