Default Mantis car products

Any-one tried them & do they work?

I'm a bit sceptical of them as the adverts make it out to be a "too good to be true" product.

I keep looking at the scratch removal pen/polish they do. Have the usual scratchs round the door handles I would like to try to get rid of.

One word ..... No

They are a pen with clear lacquer in them which sits on the surface of the scratch and does nothing to hide it. Total cr4p

If it's the adverts I'm thinking, I think their trick is to use the pen with some sort of nib on it to draw a line on the paintwork, film it, and play it back to us backwards!

Scumbags! But how they can expect anyone to fall for their product is beyond me.

If it's got a scratch it needs polishing out or painting. Simples. Not a stupid rubbish pen!

Never used the scratch pen but have got the spray cleaner/polish bottle(when it was half price) ,mainly used at shows or a quick clean when she not too dirty or when i cba to get the hose and buckets out,it comes up ok!
One panel at a time with a applicator micro fiber and then a buffer micro fiber!
