Review - Diamondite® Clear Vinyl Kit for Machine Application

[ehuth1]

First off, thanks to Autogeek.net and Meghan for the free sample. I've had a customer
lined up for this, but time was kinda hard to come by with all the dry weather and new customers.
This review is about....

Well I wanted to start and say I had a customer that wanted his jeep windows cleaned up. I haven't ever completed this task before so I came to AG for some help :)

This kit came with a nice setup just like above. The instructions were pretty simple and I'm only doing the outside of the widows since their more prone to get scratched verse the inside.

Heres the process...

Step 1 – Clear Vinyl Stain Reducer

Spray the vinyl window generously with Diamondite Clear Vinyl Stain Remover. Wait 10 seconds for the cleaner to penetrate. Wipe the window dry with a soft microfiber towel. If some stains or yellowing are still present, perform a second application.

Step 2 – Clear Vinyl Cleanser

Attach the included backing plate onto an electric drill using the included adapter. Tighten the adapter onto the backing plate using a wrench. Press the orange foam pad onto the backing plate. Dispense an X of Clear Vinyl Cleanser across the pad. Place the pad against the vinyl and gradually increase the speed 1800 RPM. Work in an overlapping motion over a small area. When the polish starts to dry, turn the drill off and lift it off the vinyl. Wipe off all residue with a microfiber towel. Continue polishing until you’ve completed the entire window.

Vinyl weathering occurs on the outside only so there is no need to polish the inside of the window.

Step 3 – Clear Vinyl Shield

Mist the window with Diamondite Clear Vinyl Shield. Use a microfiber towel or applicator to spread the sealant over the vinyl. Flip and buff dry. After an hour, you can apply another coat for added protection.

Reapply Clear Vinyl Shield once a month to maintain the protection and shine.

I had fun trying something new and would encourage anyone that has a JEEP to do this to it in the future, just be sure to try this kit from Diamondnite, it's simple and very affective. I also probably didn't use 1oz from each bottle, so it should last a long time :)

RATING 1-5 - It gets a 5 in my book.

Look at how dirty the windows were before I applied the haze and scratch remover.

Thanks for the review. DO you think it would work on on clear vinyl that is in a lot worse shape scratches wise?

Nice review, that stuff really works well.

Thanks for the review. DO you think it would work on on clear vinyl that is in a lot worse shape scratches wise?

I would say do the fingernail test. This stuff removed the hazing and minor scratching, but I wouldn't suggest using it to remove deep scratches. It will clear any window up more than it already is. I would even suggest doing this to a brand new one to get the vinyl protected against harsh weather.
