the photos look like they were "adjusted" somewhat.  If you look at the red joystick in both shots you'll see what I mean.

I'm not saying it doesnt work, just the photos are a little exagerated.  I might even try a bottle if they weren't sold out.  Cool idea

Yes, I've tried it and it does exactly what it says.

Much better than car dash polishes or plastic polishes that leave a sticky film afterwards.

Interesting. Can you tell me what it's made of i.e. chemical composition? I wouldn't mind getting some for my car dash which is badly scuffed in places. As you say the ordinary stuff leaves a sticky residue.

I wonder if it is similar to these products:

For cleaning cpo's I use something called "Sandpaper in a Can" The main ingredient in that is high flash naptha (so that means no smoking ;)). It cleans well, but evaporates extremely fast so you have to work in small areas with cotton swabs and gloves on. But the cpo's look similar to those for "c-pop"

The photo's may not be manipulated but it looks like they took one picture in day light (or with extra light) and the other at night (or dark room) look at the blue buttons in the middle. They are much darker on the 2nd pic....anyway not saying it doesn't work, I don't know really...MonitorGuru's results look impressive enough !! How did you restore the black finish on the metal so nicely ?
