Alien Magic Car Care Conqueror Review

What We Say

What is it?

Alien Magic themselves describe the product as follows;

Conqueror Compound is a revelation in paint correction, with over a year of constant development and rigorous testing in-house we have brought to the market a truly remarkable polish that will reduce the time and money spent. Its cutting power is so amazing it will remove deep imperfections, scratches and swirls with ease. It also has the finesse of the most glossy finishing polishes leaving a mirror-like shine and true depth of colour.

The Conqueror Paint Correction System comprises of the Conqueror All in 1 Compound and Conqueror Pads, continuous testing has ensured they work together flawlessly to achieve maximum results.

How we Tested it:

We were sent a 250ml sample along with both the 5.5” pads and 1.5” pads with accompanying backing plate. We have tried the various degrees of cutting ability using both a Flex VRG polisher and Dodo Juice Rotary Polisher and observed both the cut and refinement and the overall usability of the system as an all in one system.

We Liked:

• Extreme cutting ability with the heavy pad.
• Clear system that is simple and easy to both understand and use. Colour coding of pads to various stages of cut and refinement.
• Well priced, particularly as a kit including both the product and pads.
• Good focussed spot pads and backing plate attachment.
• Quality made pads, feel very premium in their build.

We didn’t like:

• Hard cut pad whilst offering extremely high levels of cut is possibly too harsh for most tasks.
• We would like pads between the two sizes. Possibly two or three inch pads.

Overall

When it comes to paintwork correction, there are endless combinations of pad and polish to be experimented with depending on the vehicle and defects targeted. This is still true but what Alien Magic have done is bring a defined system that can be played within as part of, or in its entirety to gain the desired finish. For us, we found the hard cut probably a little too hard for most tasks but it definitely has its place but the medium cut we found great success as a one step system on many systems and as a great two step system with the lighter cut for many too. The beauty of the system is of course one product for all courses, thus reducing the need for multiple products to accomplish a task and this can turn into both a time and cost saving practice for paintwork correction. The only thing needed is pad sizes inbetween the spot pads and larger pads to cover all bases.
