It’s like a pack of Magnemites forming a Magneton GMAX cluster that way, haha. If such a Pokémon existed.
E4 might still get the odd person refuting claims, I don’t get why @charizardespana is telling people to “stop promoting” when they seem to be the only one who made a purchase from Kurt (in this thread at least), among other things, but it doesn’t matter since people just don’t want to do research if it means that their preconceived notions of instant (infallible) success are at risk.
Yeah, most people either don’t know it is frowned upon in certain collectible spaces, or they view it as a way to make money by “repairing” and regrading. I know with vintage coins, people who just don’t know any better will often do the same thing They immediately clean any old coins they find. Only later to discover that drastically hurts the value.
I watched the Rockets Mewtwo repair video and the product used to “remove” scratches is kurt recovery not polish, based on the description in kurt website I’m assuming it indeed works similarly to car polish or plastx.
Both the recovery and polish are “mild abrasives” but you have to scroll past a few blocks of cringe to get to it.
He’s never going to publish the formula because his company is registered as a cosmetics/cleaning brand, it’s all “natural product” so it likely doesn’t need to be sampled and held to any sort of federal standard/ISO norm, type of deal. He just wants to obfuscate the fact that it is indeed a polishing (cutting) compound.
It wouldn’t make sense to tell people that his goo is non-abrasive at the top of the page while contradicting himself at the bottom, now would it?

Do you not see the irony in you including an image of that Raichu within your post? Within the context of both your post and this thread? You’re welcome to say whatever you like, just please know that you’re not fooling me. Feel free to fact check my statements at any time, on your own time, my PM’s are always open.
If I was cleaning cards and grading them or “flipping” them as you say, then I wouldn’t say anything.
It’s important for people to read this thread and and see from someone who’s tried it that the product sucks and doesn’t actually remove scratches etc.
But it also doesn’t make the card disintegrate in time as it can do with humidity treatments.
I have been really going against these card cleaners on Instagram and Youtube and they keep claiming “they do nothing wrong” and that it is “all within what is allowed by PSA”. I will continue to report every slab I see that one of these card cleaners claim to have a better grade after cleaning and resubmission.
They immediately clean any old coins they find. Only later to discover that drastically hurts the value.
. Sad to see how this stuff actually gets positive responses on YT
