Unfortunately, yes. It's a ripoff.

Just like most of the other stuff he yells about on tv: junk. Seriously though, do yourself a favor and don't waste your money.

Get a real buffer like a Porter Cable 7424 and check out the Menzerna line of polishes. Your car will thank you.

Thanks, I will look elsewhere. I normally won't repaint until after winter so I guess I'll just have to live with the scratch

Thanks!

I hate to 'diss' anyone but when I see Billy Mays with his products such as his drill tiller attachment I know he is a ripoff. As you notice teh tiller tills ground taht is already tilled, nothing he advertises appears to be genuine.
