Hey guys...

So I was at the NY Auto Show and was impressed by the salesman demonstrating TFP sealant. I picked up three containers of the stuff for $20. I dont have all the details since I am at work, but has anyone used this stuff on their e9x?

Anyone else buy it from the guy at the show?

he told me it's what lots of manufacturers use, including BMW...

Oh, and he also demonstrated a tip on filling in scratches...

Basically, clean out the scratch, apply touch up paint and cover the scratch with masking tape for 10-15 minutes. This way the paint is smooth. Remove tape and apply the TFP. Anyone try the masking tape method? I will try these this weekend and hopefully have pictures!

thanks!

You bought 3 containers of the sealant totaling 20, or 20 dollars each...

I was at the autoshow to, and wow those cars were lookin great. I as well talked to the TFP guy and saw what a difference and shine it made. As for the bottles Im not quite sure. Do you know what they are called? And my BMW is jet black and I have a few scratches that I would love to touch up any idea where I can get touch up paint as well?

20 total. There's three different chemicals, but I can't find them online and they're at home. Will post what they are later and pics of the bottles. Will be applying the stuff this weekend.

To the other post - touch up paint is at the dealer.

the salesguy told me i should have received a bottle of it from the dealer when I bought the car. that was an odd thing for him to say. he said it wouldve been in a black bottle though. at that point I had already bought it, so he wasn't trying to sell it to me.

This is the only thing I could find on autopia.org about TFP:
http://autopia.org/forum/detailing-p...-products.html

Nothing bad to say about it.

[LuisBoston]

yeah...so it's the blue bottle, and two smaller black bottles: TFP Metal Protection and TFP Micro Finishing Compound...

Pics to come

Here is what the bottles say:

Save bottle for rebate towards purchase. Used and approved since 1978 by car dealers.
Can be used on chrome, aluminum, plastics, glass fiberglass, and any painted surface.

Wash and dry surface. Apply TFP to a soft, clean cloth and saturate one side of cloth.
Rub in circular motion, overlapping each and every time, covering entire surface to be protected. TFP is not an abrasive.

TPF has been around for MANY years. I first bought it about 15 years ago from the LA Auto Show.

It was a good product back in the day. I'm sure there's tons of newer stuff that's better.
