    hi

    has anyone used them before?

    if so – what for, what were they like, was the repair to a high standard?

    thanks

    I’ve used them twice. Very pleased with results both times. Most of the scratches were scratches to the topcoat varnish but I also had a deeper bumper scratch down to black plastic – all invisible after treating. My local guy didn’t do dents but called in his mate from Dentmaster to sort some minor dings (<2cm) and looked brand new afterwards. V impressed. I negotiated a price with him because he was doing several panels and it worked out vastly cheaper than bodyshop (and cheaper than advertised chipsaway prices). He came on a Saturday morning, set up an awning on the drive and was done within the hour. I’d use them again without hesitation. I’ve seen his van at a local dealership, so I presume they do a healthy trade prepping 2nd hand cars at dealerships too.
    PS I’m very fussy about the result too.

    From what I have seem, the results are very dependent on the person you get (obvious, I guess).

    Seen some ‘good as new’ ones and some ‘better than nothing’ ones…

    I’ve used them for a bent wing and associated scratches. The repair is definitely ‘better than nothing’, but he was 1/4 the price that the cheapest bodyshop quoted.

    They run a franchise business model as far as I know, so you’re going to get variable quality.

    There are lots of “smart repair” businesses about, just shop around for someone who can show you good work or is recommended.
