Testimonials – Car Detail Talk
Owners of car detailing supplies rank the ScratchOut System among their most important pieces of auto detailing equipment. Here’s what they have to say:
“I’ve been using the Applied Colors touch up kit for a few months and am very happy with it. The colour guide works great and the quality of my repairs is enough to impress my clients. I run a car detailing business on the Gold Coast in Australia and this touch up system has been a great add on to my business. It’s one of the more useful tools among my mobile detailing supplies.”
Fabiano Salsa: Owner of Fab’s Car Detailing and Scratch Repair, Gold Coast Australia
“We own two Applied Colors touch up kits. I chose the kit because it’s affordable and easy to learn. Most repairs take 10 minutes and we charge $40. Color matching is excellent, and feedback from customers has been positive. We do most of our work on a mobile basis, so we needed a system that’s compact. Their system fits in a tidy toolbox that doesn’t take up much room in our two vans. It’s easy to keep the items in the box organized. Customers ask for this service from us frequently, and now we can answer this request regardless of the color of their car. I think it’s a great addition to any detail operation.”
Mike Iarannelli: Owner of Extreme Details
“I’ll start by saying I purchased a Paint touch-up kit from Applied Colors a few months ago. I’ve spoken with the owner, Robert, a couple of times about his kits and have actually driven up to Portland Oregon to meet with him for a “Personal demonstration”. Not only was I impressed with his willingness to meet with us, but his skill in using his kit. We’ve hand the opportunity to use the touch-up kit on a few of our clients cars with great success. Well, this last time I went to use it I had a difficult time getting on of the bottle open and hand it actually broke in my hand. I emailed Robert just to let him know how much trouble I had opening it and that I wanted to purchase a couple of replacement bottles. Well, Robert said that shouldn’t have happened and overnighted me 2 bottles of the product along with 3 empty replacement bottles and extra caps, just in case I needed them. All at no charge! I was very impressed with his customer service and his willingness to help. If any of you are looking to purchase a paint touch-up kit, I’d highly recommend the kits offered by Robert at Applied Colors.”
Mark Fowler: Owner of Pristine Detailing

Shea Mirafuentes: Owner of Shea’s Luxury Detail
“Just received my kit in 7 days. Thank you for an excellent service.”
Ehsan Mandora: Saudi Arabia
“I wanted to thank you for the great job you have done in putting together your paint system. The DVD and manual are excellent.”
Dan Trenholm: Owner of Colortec, Medford OR
“As the owner of a mobile S.M.A.R.T repair business I was looking for a quick and easy way of touching up scratches and road rash as an alternative to mixing colour coded factory paint. On a lot of cars I work on for owners or auto traders I get the question of touching up some minor scratch or road rash blemishes in addition to painting and blending out body panels. The ScratchOut kit fit the bill perfectly by providing us with a very fast and inexpensive tool for minor touch ups. As opposed to matching factory waterborne paint and mixing with clear coat I can now use the provided color chart and mix a small amount for a small touch up in just minutes knowing this will be a lasting solution. There’s no need for an IR lamp for curing. My customers are thrilled by the results and the relatively small fee. This kit has paid it self over and over again and comes highly recommended.”
Bent Karlsen: Owner of Color Vision Norway
“I originally purchased the Applied Colors touch up paint system for my Paintless Dent Repair Technician. The thought was to use it as an easy and complete kit for those instances when the damaged area was also chipped or scratched. We used to carry a small selection of store bought touch-up. 9 times out of 10 we didn’t have the correct color and the tops always seemed to break. We could get a few uses out of the 8.95$ tube and would end up throwing the dried up remains away only to do it all over again. The Applied Colors paints have a very good shelf life, the kit is compact and we get great color matches. Well worth every penny.”
Brian Shaw: Owner of Auto Pro 1
“We buy and sell large volumes of used cars (all makes) with minor paint damage. This system is perfect for us. Lots of money saved on vendor expenses.”
Dennis Legge: Reconditioning tech for Jerry Durant Auto Group
“We buy hundreds of cars from many sources. There’s always minor paint damage on them and we’ve used the Applied Colors system as part of our in house reconditioning process. It’s worked out well. The system was easy to learn and apply. It’s not overly complicated, so anyone in our operation can perform the touch ups. I’d recommend it to dealers and wholesalers regardless of how large or small they are.”
Justin Wren: Reconditioning tech for Webuycars.com
“Our detailers do our touch ups onsite with the Applied Colors kit. It’s worked out great on our used inventory. We no longer wait for specialists who charge us $50 a car.”
Mark Tinsley, Reconditioning Manager of Toyota Town
Owners of mobile detailing equipment agree.
There are are care products, there are auto detailing supplies, and then there is the ScratchOut Paint Touch-Up System. Car detailing will no longer be the same. Walk into an auto detailing shop and you’re likely to see the ScratchOut System alongside the standard car detailing supplies – car wax, car polish, the works – and auto detailing classes will mention the ScratchOut Equipment as a must-have product. We hope. Thanks for reading, and happy detailing!
