Buy It And Try It: Fix It

The Fix It claims it will remove scratches from your car, so let's
see if it works.

At the U Pull 'N Save in Antelope, you'll find 10 acres of old cars
and trucks. "They can pay $2 to get in with their own tools and pull
their own parts," said Bill More. He says you have 1500 vehicles to
choose from.

Once the cars get picked apart, they go to the monster called the
Logger. It tears out the radiator, then the engine, then with it's
claws it drops the cars into the cuber. The car comes out smashed into
a 4 by 6-foot heap of metal which will be recycled.

By the time cars show up to the lot, they're often a bit beat up.

Fix It is supposed to work on any car, any color, so we head through
the aisles searches for scratches.

We settle on a car that has three types of scratches: minor, medium and severe.

The Fix It requires three easy steps. Apply the polish to the special
buffer that comes with it, buff, then dry.

We begin with the small scratch. Bill buffs it, and then wipes it off
with the supplied microfiber cloth. "It looks like it did a very good
job on minor scratches," he said.

Now the medium scratch just below it. "It seemed to be working
effectively when it's wet, but when it's drying out…"

The scratch is improved, but it's still there. Now we try it on the
big scratch.

It doesn't seem to improve it at all.

We decide to try it on another car. This one has scratches on the
hood, and we squirt the goo right onto the scratch.

"So far I see magic, but it's still wet," Bill said. Sure enough, once
he dries it, the scratch reappears.

After all of our testing, what does Bill think?

"I would use it for a quick fix on a minor scratch, but if I need it
for something heavy duty, I'd pass," he said.

I paid $19.95 plus shipping and handling and bought it at BuyFixIt.com.
