I cant lie, I had serious doubts about this product. Since it was so cheap I figured I couldnt really do any damage by trying it.
Long story short, my metal front door was a terribly faded dark red, almost a greyish dirty red at this point. I really didnt want to have to repaint my door so I was looking for solutions. I came across this and it had pretty decent feedback.
When it came in it was a day of pouring rain. I actually waited a few days until the humidity level was very low out. Then I hosed and cleaned my front door. I didnt realize how dirty it was on top of the faded paint. Then I opened up the box and separated all the stuff.
I put the gloves on because I use gloves when Im typically doing some type of work around the house. When I opened up the wipe package I was glad I had the gloves on, this smelled seriously toxic. Because of that, I would highly highly highly recommend using this in a very open area. I started at the top of the door and started making solid wipes from right to left, overlapping a half an inch on the previous one.
I got down to the bottom of the door with only using the cloth(flipping it around and inside out) and not touching the bottle of extra fluid. I probably should have opened the bottle as I did notice a little streaking with the overlaps towards the bottom half of the door. Nothing you could see from farther than 10 feet away though.
When I did get done I immediately stepped back to look at it. I was awestruck. The door was a shiny crimson red. I could not believe how much it looked like it was freshly painted. Because I didnt have super high hopes for it, I never did a "before" picture, but I absolutely should have. Showing an after picture wont help sell the product, but I can assure you it was a complete rejuvenation.
I let the door cure for about 24 hours before using it just so I didnt scrape it by accident or get fingerprints on it. And to be honest, as it was curing it actually developed a nice sweet smell. Im sure it was probably still toxic but at this point I was whiffing it a lot, made me hungry.
Anyway, for what its worth, you have no reason not to try this product. I can attest that it actually works. And now since I have the whole bottle left over, Im looking for other things to try this on.
