What we liked

  • + Aimed at used car shoppers checking for repaint or filler
  • + Mil readings are familiar units for US buyers and inspectors
  • + Simple tool to bring along when viewing private-sale cars

Trade-offs

  • - Confirm it detects the metal types on the car you're inspecting
  • - Not detailed enough for precise pre-correction clear coat mapping
