Cosmetic surgery from Kent's kit

Kent UK has launched a versatile scuff repair kit which it claims “recreates OEM finish” with minimal surface preparation.

The five-product kit includes two gels for dashboard and plastic repairs. The resin-based gels enable cosmetic repairs to holes as well as scuffs, without the use of primers. Two aerosols containing fast-drying textured coatings complete the finish.

The products can be purchased individually, with the full kit costing less than £50. Kent salesmen train bodyshop staff, though the kit does come with instructions, said a spokeswoman.
