Simpson’s Body Shop, Sheffield, AL

"My men fight over who gets to use it! It's definitely made us money. We use that thing every day. We're not afraid to repair things now because we trust it. We can make the flexible tabs, we use it on headlights, everything. It’s awesome!"

"We are wide open with it! We probably use it three or four times a day. We are fixing a lot more bumpers than we used to. My cycle time has improved 1 or 1-1/2 days because of the Nitrogen Welder."

Gordy's Auto Body, Bullhead City, AZ

"We are out in the middle of nowhere, so whenever we can recondition parts, we do it. We don't have to wait for headlights, air boxes, or damn near anything. The nitrogen welder makes you feel more comfortable doing those repairs where the bumper is ripped in half. We use it all the time. It paid for itself in no time!"

"I've had the welder for about three years now and I've done so many repairs with it. I like it so much I convinced a few other shops in the area to get one, too! It's invaluable when a plastic part is no longer available, like this Infiniti G35 flare and the Pontiac Trans Am bumper I did recently."

Joe Pellegrino

"When I became a commissioned technician seven years ago, I recognized hardly any of the other techs were repairing plastic. I was the new guy in the shop, and we had one of your nitrogen plastic welders there, after watching other technicians throw lightly damaged bumpers and headlights away to be replaced, I figured that I could earn some extra hours if I got good at plastic repair. After watching almost every one of your online videos a couple hundred times plus 7 years of "rapid repair" work as a commissioned tech, I'm now the official internal trainer on the plastic welder for Collision Works! Traveling and training other technicians is what I’ve wanted to do for a long time.
I honestly feel like I’ve been alone in this “plastic journey" and I’ve been pushing for this repair process for years because Polyvance makes the welding process so easy. Thanks to the research and development of Polyvance, my job has been made easy. All of us at the Collision Works Training Center and most of our technicians visit the Polyvance website on a weekly basis for new products and constant information. It has been a pleasure using the Polyvance welder and products they offer. Plus, I’m not going to lie, I’ve made a heck of lot of money over the years with your welder! "

Tanner Jacobs
Head Plastic Repair Trainer at Collision Works

"I've been a collision repair technician for 37 years and have taken over a hundred training classes in my career. The Polyvance PR-02 course is one of the top three classes I've ever taken. I would recommend it for anyone who wanted to gain a complete knowledge of plastic repair and refinishing."

"Im a mobile technician who uses your Bumper & Cladding Coat to restore the finish of textured plastic bumpers. I had a customer who had a Jeep Wrangler. The flares had been painted with some other glossy black paint; it looked terrible. He wanted me to strip the paint off and re-do it. I removed the old paint with some thinner, cleaned it with your Plastic Cleaner, then sprayed on the 3518 Honda Black Bumper & Cladding Coat. When the customer saw the finished job, he said "I thought you were going to repaint the flares, not replace them!" The flares looked so good, the customer thought they were brand new!"

Kent Buehrer
Tremont, IL

"I make more money on cladding than with leather. I sprayed three new Chevy Avalanches that had been on the lot for over 500 days. The cladding was already tiger striped. After I painted them, two of them sold right away. After that, the dealer was so ecstatic, I've been going twice a week. Your product is fantastic."

Brad Pegg

"Kudos to you guys! I have a mobile touch-up business. I have blown away a lot of dealers with this paint. It's opened up a brand new market for me.It's awesome. I used to walk away from this kind of business.

"I'm usually skeptical about these claims, and I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it at the show."

"The Bumper & Cladding Coat quart toner package paid for itself the very first time I used it. This stuff isa real breakthrough."

David Obine
Bumper Express

"I've been doing mobile restorations for over a decade... interior and exterior. I've been doing textured bumpers with (brand S) for years, but now that I've tried Bumper and Cladding Coat, I'm throwing all that stuff in the garbage. Bumper and Cladding Coat has awesome color matches, hides great, and sticks like glue. I've already made a bunch of money with it!"

"I got into repairing car bumpers about two years ago. I've probably done about 350 bumpers since then and I haven't had a single one come back. It gets cold here in Alaska, but I've never had one come back cracked or peeling. How do I do it? I just follow your instructions exactly. I've even done race car bumpers that get wrecked but the paint didn't peel."

"This stuff works great on just about everything. I did a tab on a Dakota grill, and except for the color, it looked absolutely factory. I also fixed a motorcycle fairing for this guy and he just couldn't believe how good it looked. I've repaired everything from composite headlight tabs to plumbing in an RV."

"I just wanted you guys to know that we appreciate the new products you guys are putting so much work into. We just did some repairs with the PlastiFix kit, and they worked beautifully. This stuff is the best thing since the Uni-Weld rod!"

Shawn Dixson

"I just wanted to thank you for your recomendation for plastifix. I requested some ideas for grill restoration back in november and you said plastifix was probably my best bet. I couldn't be any happier with the results!! That product could not have been any quicker or easier to use. While my grill may not be "concourse" quality, it sure looks perfect to me. Thanks again and I'll be sure to tell everyone I can about what a great product you have."

"I had a center console of my plane that was broken. A new center console was going to cost $1,500! I used the PlastiFix kit with the molding bar to re-create a broken-out area. It looked brand new when I was done. PlastiFix saved me $1,500!"

Mark Neal

"I would like to tell you how pleased I am with the results using the plastic repair kit you you sold me. After all kinds of repairs, I can tell you it has paid for itself many times over. I saved hundreds fixing the plastics on a Cessna 210 Centurion. And it was easy! Along with a Dremel tool to remove the excess and do some shaping I had all that expensive plastic fixed in a couple evenings. Some plastic paint primer and enamel to cover the old age fade and I have a new 1977 interior. Showed my plane mechanics at the airport. They want one.  Tonight I fixed a lever on a $1,200.00 Coin Counter someone had tossed out. I need one so I called to get the part. Found out it was too old to get parts so I fixed it with the kit."

David D'Hondt
Fort Myers, FL

"Ok, I was skeptical, I figured I had just wasted $30.  I had some ABS interior plastic on a GM truck where a clip attaches to the plastic.  While applying the Plastifix, I was not sure the repair would hold.  The previous owner had used epoxy and something with a gummy consistency - and it didn't hold.  The Plastifix (mixed rather than dropped w/needle) cured solid, considerably more so than the original part.

Barry Soben

"I just used your FiberFlex product for the first time and I have to say I am VERY IMPRESSED!

"I repair motorcycle fairings, and as of late you see more and more "alloys" or composite plastics, like the newer ducati's, and 04 and up Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki's.
I was turing away people until I had actually started a collection of scrap fairings to use as welding rod, to repair the "unweldable plastics", until I tried FiberFlex.

"I could repair the 4 sets of plastics that I was waiting to get scrap weld rod material for,......even several broken "windscreen ears" which were completely snapped in two, and obviously was impressed enough to write this.

"Great product. I'll be buying more as soon as my supply gets low. This really helps me make money where I could not before trying your product."

Joseph M. Loewinsohn
Plastics Fabricator

"It's amazing how many times we repair bumpers that the body shops have tried to repair using two-part adhesives. We repair them with the FiberFlex and it holds every time. You can twist it, pull it...it's awesome!"

"I've been using it on everything. I don't even need to use the reinforcing mesh. I haven't had a comeback yet."

"The strength is great. We can replace tabs and we don't have to worry about our customers pulling them off. Easy to use and very strong."

"I love it! It just bonds real well. It's easy to use and that helps when you have inexperienced people."

"Works great on the harder plastics like Saturn and 626's. Best rod you guys came out with in years."

Brian

"Works well on things where nothing else will work, like tabs and flanges that have to be flexible."

"I just purchased the welder lite kit and it is awesome. I followed your instructions off of the web site and used a little common sense and it works perfect. I searched the entire dallas area for a kit and no one has anything close to what you provide in your kit. You all get two thumbs up for producing a quality kit. Thanks.

"I had to teach the auto body course even though I don't have any experience. We got one of your welders and my first job was to weld the fender on one of the kids' RM250. I'd never plastic-welded before and I didn't expect it to be so easy. It worked really well...it just amazed everybody! The repair has stood up well to the abuse it takes. Now all the kids are bringing their plastic stuff in here for repair!"

"This thing is very profitable and easy to use. It has bailed me out of tight spots many times when there was unseen damage that I did not quote."

Mark Abrahamson

"First job I did, paid for the whole kit. The information you supply makes bumper repairs simple. I am mobile and I can beat the body shop prices by at least 60% with the Plastic welder. My repairs on tabs and holes are stronger than the rest of the bumper. What a money maker!!!! Thanks"

I must admit I was apprehensive when purchasing the Mini-Weld Model 6 Airless Plastic Welder. I have been disappointed in the past with other products claiming to perform certain tasks. However, I can tell you that I have now used the Mini-Weld Model 6 Airless Plastic Welder twice and in both cases it has performed exactly as advertised. I am very pleased with the product and it has saved me over $600.00 to date.

"My guys love it! They start screaming if we get low! It sands better than 3M or SEM and feathers out great. It doesn't dye back or leave a ring."

"I just wanted to write to tell you that your InstaWeld kit save me $600 in a new fairing for my beautiful Yamaha YZF750 sportbike. One of the alignment and attachment tabs through which a screw passes to connect two pieces of the fairing had not just cracked, but broken into six or seven pieces. Two-part epoxy couldn't hold it. But, in half an hour with the InstaWeld kit, I had put pieces back together, filled in the cracks, and sanded it down so that the metal screw receptacle fit right on. I put the fairing back on the bike with no trouble. A new fairing piece would have cost me $600. This product is amazing."

Ari Gabinet

"I damaged an ATV fender and went searching for repair info. I found your site. It's the most informative site I've ever surfed. My order was sent on-line. I'm now smarter on this subject than I ever imagined. Many, many thanks. Very well done!"

"I manufacture Extractor Rescue sleds and riverboards. I use the ATV Fender Welder occasionally to make hull repairs. I recommend my customers to your website as a source for repair welders and filler rod. I just recommended the welder to Dafo, my distributor in Sweden. You may be hearing from them. You may use my product name and add it to your website on the Kayak Welder page if you want. "

"I cannot say enough great things about the ATV repair kit. If you are looking for a do it yourself kit, that is "easy" and I will attest it is Durable. then this is the kit for you.  Why spend hundreds of dollars on new plastics when you can fix them yourself. I will tell all of my friends who ride a motorcycle or ATV this is a must have. Great Product!

Thank you.

"I purchased your ATV PRO WELDER 1. Tried it on my son's busted fender today . I found the unit very easy to master and it did a wonderful job. After the weld job was done, I sanded the area and almost made the 10" crack invisible. Amazing. Great product! Now my buddy has his busted fender in my garage.  Thanks"

David Foster

Hey guys,

Just wanted to say thanks!  I ordered the KC Welder kit and had my Coleman canoe fixed in just 1/2 hour!  I thought about doing this myself and tried a torch with bad results.  I ordered the KC welder and that did the trick!

Thanks again for your help!

"In all my 15 years in the body repair trade, I've never had a problem with a bumper coming back with the paint peeling when I use the Plastic Magic. It simply does not peel! I spray it on the primer too to help basecoat adhesion. DuPont wanted me to use their system. I tried their product once, and that bumper came back peeling!"
