Malco Paint Rejuvenator - One Step Automotive Paint Restoration/Clear Coat Scratch and Swirl Remover/Re-Shine Old, Aged Paint to Look New / 32 Fl Oz (111732)

I have three cars 1998 Honda, 2006 Honda and 2014 4Runner. I had previously used Accelerate as this had an advisor to use with a powered buffer. I finished with Extreme Top Coat a wax they make - Chemical Guys. Accelerate was pretty good, but the cars develops leopard like patterns on the roof and hood that came back in about 3 months. They cars and truck were much improved. I bought a buffer and said I am going to try this radical restorer. They don't say on the bottle to let it dry, but that is how I did it. Have your applicator damp - I used a nylon scruffy pad with scrubber on one side and sponge on the other, I applied with sponge and rubbed in it with the scrubber side gently- it flattened the surface without scratching any of the cars, I let it dry to a haze and at first took it off with a pad which took a while and the circular pad got clogged [5"] pretty fast. So I thought - let me try a microfiber towel. Way faster so I don't think they should limit this to people with machines. I had no trouble and it was far easier. It was spectacular. Use a small applicator so you can focus on making sure the compound contacts everything and if you see discoloration, if you rub the area is should start to unify in color, then I stopped and mover on. I did an entire side or roof or hood before it dried. Do not try this in the sun. The residue came off easy - use some form of towel fabric for some bite. The paint was again one nice deep blue, purple color or gray or blue depending on vehicle. I used Extreme Top Coat because it gives it a blinding shine and more protection. I find it shinier than the hydrophilic ceramic coatings even their pricey one. The Asian ones online are crap. Chemical guys have a million products and if I had a million dollars I probably would keep on experimenting. These two made my life easier and they are cheap for what they do. For all the vinyl and rubber inside and out - I use the towelettes by Cerokote. I will never use another product other than theirs. Easy, does not smell, turns everything instantly black and satin gloss and yes I used them 3-4 months ago and everything is just like I did it. Also, I am not saying to do this, but experimentnig, I tried it on some irritating scratches on the car and it made them disappear. They must wet the rubber or surface in some way. It did turn the paint a different color or go away when I wiped it off. I know at 2$ a towelette they seem like a rip off, but I was so tired of putting on weekly coats of garbage that never lasted.

For those who had a bad experience with this product, my guess is that they didn't use the product properly, used too much or applied it in the sun. I apply it with a simple 6" orbital buffer, one small panel at a time, then wiped it off using a microfiber cloth. Couldn't be easier with a glass like finish. Silky smooth to the touch. The first picture shows the back plastic visor polished, the front unpolished. The second pic was the front polished with a foam pad in less than 3 minutes, easy peasy. Buffed the rest of the car with a microfiber buffing pad, a panel or 2 at a time then gently wipe off. Keep in mind that this is a 14 year old car. A mechanical buffer is the key to a glass like finish, doing it by hand is too much work. There's something about working this product in that's gives it great results. Even scratches polish out as long a there paint still there. I've been using this for years to clean headlight lenses and plastics also. Awesome product!

Basically just a rubbing compound that cleans the paint is what I can tell. It does a good job.

I have used many Restorer/waxes to keep up with the oxidation on my 1997 Grady White. While they all work to some extent, the Malco Rejuvenator has proved to do the best job so far. It can be done by hand but it is intended to help remove oxidation so it wont be easy. Any vendor claiming "wipe on, wipe off" for their product is probably not selling something for oxidation. For the smaller areas, the hand application works well and when polished off it leaves a streak free shine. For larger areas I used both a Porter Cable random orbital with a foam pad and a DeWalt rotary polisher with a wool pad. The Porter Cable is good for applying polishes and waxes but does not have the power to remove anymore than the lightest oxidation. The rotary polisher with a wool pad is the right tool for the job. It was fairly hard to hold onto while it was cutting through the oxidation but once it did, the Malco Rejuvenator smoothed out the surface and left a beautiful shine. You could actually feel the oxidation melt away once the Rejuvenator and the wool cut through it.The shine is beautiful and my 24 year old boat looks as good as it ever has. Hopefully, the shine will last through the summer.

I wish I could give this garbage negative stars. My car had faded paint and a few oxidation spots. I buffed this in which didn’t do anything but after a few days it turned into a disgusting white cast leaving my car looking worse than before. I have no idea how to remove this. I wasted my money and am so incredibly angry.

It's in the middle. Not super great but, not garbage. Works well

Awesome stuff been using it for years
