[hamlyn]

Check out this shot of Migliore Strata comparison against CQuartz. I must admit I am quite impressed.

I'm not impressed at all by that picture. You can see the scratches on the left but they're faint because they don't have light shining directly on them.

Claims like this make me NOT want try the product.

It's ludicrous to believe that a coating is going to keep a Brillo pad from scratching the surface anyway.

For instance there was a video online of a carbon fiber hood being struck with a plastic lighter claiming that a certain coating kept it from being scratched unlike the other 3 or so coatings that were on the hood. You can fool a lot of people with proper camera angles.

I don't want any "Hollywood" products :)

Sorry for the rant and it's definitely not directed toward you. I just hate claims like this.

Those pictures are 'thrown' and I couldn't get any important info coming from them, apart from great cars pictures, but that's engineers merit, not any polishing or coating...

I also agree with twictch77 regarding Hollywood products. Once I've saw a claim of a coating where they tested using some Acid, then stated: NEVER try to do this.

Makes me wonder... if it resists acid and this is the test, why should I never do this?

One more against the claims here.

Kind Regards.

You are referring to Ceramic Pro. Its an amazing coating and you shouldn't count it out without trying it. :)

You are referring to POLISHANGEL COMSIC resisting scratching. It's linked on my site.

First off I have done that test on my own personal cars and it certainly does resist scratching to that degree. I used plastic stick, wood block and a metal key chain.

Next that coating is has an independently tested 9H film hardness.

Don't discredit something you haven't tried so fast because of a photo or video.

There's a lot more to coatings than something durable.

I picked up two bottles during the last bogo, looking forward to at least trying them.

I don't see Migliore strata coating on AG anymore. Last time I saw it was on BOGO. Am I missing it or did AG stop selling it? If they stopped carrying it, I'm very curious as to why.

[Tato]

Just to reiterate, my comments were not related specifically to any of products in question (which I haven't use yet), it's easy to read and understand:

... the pictures shown do not convince me (myself, only),

... I do not like claims where I'm advertised to not try reproducing it. If manufactory use keychain to test scratch resistance (and it won't scratch), I would be able to use my keychain and show others personally it won't scratch.

If not, I'm to believe in everything (from 'cheating' to fake keychain) but the coating scratch resistance.

That's just 1 man opinion (always open for changes if properly educated).

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards.

On your own car ??? OMG!

Although the photo is impressive; I am not really impressed since the vendor of one coating is showing how they are better than another. So IMO the photo and test are realistically very once sided.

And on a side note: It is amazing that even on "non-coated" center line the scratching seems much heavier on the right side of the area and it dies off as it goes left.... So it shoes the pressure wasn't constant. If it was the scratches should be uniform all the way throughout the center section.

Migliore and 22PLE are on top of my coating list. Having said that, I don't blame twitch77 & Tato.

The claims might be true, but you have to admit - the presentation is that of snake oil type advertisement one would often see on late night.

'Men can fly' on television, but have you tried to jump out the window screaming - UP AND GO!!! to see what happen?

It's our role to inform us better and learn from competent people experiences (like shown above) to educate ourselves regarding those products.

I've never used products cited on topic, but I'm relying on PBL coatings for my business. They do not claim about scratch resistance, but protection claimed is absolutely true. Durability claims are becoming true as the months passes by.

This I'm experiencing personally, but also it's full of topics here from different members stating the same. That's easier to form an opinion when lots of unrelated (and not tendencious) opinions are joined together.

Thanks for comments,

Kind Regards.

It is possible to fly, you just have to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
