Tried to remove a scratch. Got most of it out. Some of it’s just too deep. 

Very brave!!  Looks great

Stay away. Don’t take money for the job. You could get stuck with causing the damage. If the paint is not salvageable in your assessment, no money is worth taking the job. 
 
She doesn’t want to pay for paint, and you can’t fix it. That’s the reality of the situation. 
 
Make a smart business decision, save your reputation and move on to other clients. 

I can see why some people wouldn’t. I personally don’t use them on my own vehicles. But given the right situation they can be a great tool. Like my sisters car, the paint is a wreck. She wants it to be shinier and brighter. She’s not gonna wash and dry like she should. So I’m not gonna waste my time doing say a 1 step using slow arm speed etc. I’ll use an AIO with medium arm speed. It’ll remove light swirls and remove any haze and of course it’ll fill too. That will make the paint look much better and she’ll be happy. I’ll follow up with a spray sealant I have to add more protection and send her on her way. That is a good example of a lot of people out there.

Awesome!

I’m so happy right now. 
 
 

Nice work, John. Looks like that gash above the right headlight is gonna take a little more elbow grease, though.

I’m just saying for sake of time and money  with the AIO. I don’t like AIO products that much just because of the short term protection. I did a corvette no long ago that looked horrible. I used an AIO type product and it looked amazing. I was just getting it ready to be sold. And someone cane and looked at the next day and bought it on the spot. This is after I had polished with the AIO.

AIO products are still a good service to offer. The average person may want their cars finish to look better, but don’t wanna pay for it. AIO is a perfect option for them. As long as they made aware of the cons that come with an AIO. Just my opionion.

Congratulations on the new tool!  I have the long neck and enjoy it and find it to be very useful for those confined spaces.  Or when some turkey parks right next to you and decides to share their paint.

Yea Adam’s Swirl killer would be the way to go for ya. If they had been out when I bought my first polisher. I would’ve bought Adam’s and not my Rupes.

I’m so happy right now. 
 
 

It buffed so well you created a light!!

I have the rupes mini, and I really want to add that nano to the collection!  So many uses I'm sure.  

That would be nice, and more cost friendly. This kit is expensive. But testing with it today has me thinking it’s worth every penny.
