Emulsion

while i haven't used it yet and i really don't care about the car i am working on i was surprised to see this is like a 2 oz bottle, it's so small compared to the picture. i looked at the description again and unless i am missing it i see nowhere that it's listed for 31 dollars for a 2 oz bottle. if i had known it was so little i would have purchased somewhere else. i'll be back with another reveiw after i use it. /ok so now i have used the product. it does work as described and i was surprised to find out it was enough to fix the little damage to my car that i needed to fix. I would recommend this product.

This didn’t even work, I watched many tutorials and videos that clearly worked on YouTube, and i looked at the reviews. I did the same thing they all did, wet sanded with 1500 sandpaper and applied the product. It didnt work and my car has a failing clear coat. I was hoping to get a refund but that’s not available. Don’t buy this

Primo, I have a 2004 X3 which had substantial clear coat flaking on the hood and top. I wondered if there was some wonder elixir that would solve my problems. I watched several online videos about this to-good-to-be-true product so I figured I'd give it a shot. I have to say that I was amazed. This product does exactly what it says it will do. It made my BMW quite presentable. From a distance, you couldn't tell there were any issues with the paint. Don't think that this will bring your paint back to 'as new' condition. It won't. As you'll see in my photos and video, it does a remarkable job. Another amazing thing about L'Oxide is how far the little bottle goes. I put 2 full coats on my roof and 3 on my hood, with still a little left in the bottle. The images show before/after shots of my roof and the video shows the improvement 2 coats can make. (Note how I've sanded the clear coat flush) Important: You need to wet sand the clear coat down to the point that you can't feel any 'edges' where the clear coat meets the paint. Use at least 1500 grit wet sandpaper. Any raised edges will still show a little after the application. The one down side is that mine wore off in about 3 months. The clear coat edges peeled a bit so it needed some light sanding before the next application. But for an instant huge improvement for your weathered, paint and peeling clear coat, I would highly recommend L'Oxide. Update after 6 mos: When initially applied I was very happy with the way this product took my peeling clear coat from a 2 to an 8. (Again, check out my video and you'll see the remarkable difference right off the bat) However, 3 months later, it started wear off and the clear coat began to peel. Which meant reapplying. Reapplying the product was easy but I had to sand down all of the flaky white edges that reappeared. But realize that backk 3 mos ago my paint was so bad, I had been close to junking it. So I'd stick with the product but just realize that it's magic needs to be attended to much more regularly than a regular car wax does. And keep in mind that I live in Phoenix where the sun can be quite brutal. I hope this helped.

After hand washing, doing a wet sand (1500 grit), rewashing and drying my car, I was excited to see this product at work. Some words of wisdom, don't skimp on the sanding part. I had tons of small spots where the clear coat was failing, and while the wet sanding helped, I probably could have done it another hour or two to really even everything out. The good: just as advertised a little goes a long way. I didn't have to use much to cover the car. Immediately, the ugly white failing clear coat was much smoother. The bad: if you have a dark colored car, it can be difficult to see where you have already applied the product. If you have the slightest ridge between color and clear coat your cloth will leave fibers behind. Its time consuming: be aware you should have some significant prep work, application time, and then lots of time to let it dry. That's just the first application. The ugly: I read the instructions carefully, but would suggest they add another clause. We had very high humidity the day I applied the product resulting in a streaky, sticky, uneven finish. Granted it states don't apply if rain, fog, or mist are present, but hey I live on the coast and it's rare to have low humidity, and I can't plan my entire life around a car's paint job. I can't say I'm mad at the company, but buyer beware about water in the air. I'm optimistic that a 2nd coat will remedy some of the issues. Final thoughts: The car looks much better from 50 yards away, but close up, it's a hot mess. The stickiness is holding dirt, and its kind of splotchy, streaky, watery look, but again hoping a 2nd coat will help. I could probably do some kind of solvent to remove it and reapply, but its a 10 year old car. Bottom line if prepped and properly applied this product makes a failing clear coat less noticeable. Its no cure all, but probably worth an afternoon of work and the approximately $30 price tag.

It works good, but no as I was expecting because it doesn't clean very well.

I don't know what is in this bottle, but it worked on my husband's car. I washed it, dried it, and applied a layer of this to all the areas of concern. I then went back over the areas that I missed. We plan to re-apply this again in a few days, and we will then do a coating of wax on the car. I will re-post how long it lasts before you need to re-apply it. It doesn't look perfect, but we weren't looking for perfection. We wanted the chipping topcoat to less obvious, and we weren't willing to spend thousands of dollars to fix the paint. Update: 4 months later, and my husband's car still looks great. After washing his car, we applied this to all affected areas. I did a second coat after waiting a day. Then I coated the car with a ceramic protective coating, and then a wax. Both the protective coatings are spray on, and wipe off. It is a process, but this product works. We will continue to buy it.
