with some effort it can remove most scratches

I was impressed at how i was able to remove most of the scratches off of my honda given some effort and patience. i couldn't figure out how to eliminate deep pebble chips even after using touchup paint and the sand paper as was directed by the manual.

NOT BAD FOR THE PRICE

Had a few scratches on my car, some minor, some more severe, product actually worked well on the minor scratches, but on the deeper scratches, you could still tell there was a scratch, although there was some improvement.
The scratches I describe as severe are similar to a key scratch. Overall I was satisfied with this product, but if your scratches are deep, then you will need to visit your local body shop, but for the minor stuff, this is the best of the bunch that's out there, I've tried many, and compared to this, they don't compare. For 14 dollars you can't go wrong.

Hey it work!

Decided to order this after reading its review in Consumer Reports. I had a light scratch on the hood of my car which is two feet long. I tried to fix it but found that what I defined as a light scratch, they rated as major. I was very much surprised that I was able to lessen the scratch, without too much work.

Just finished using it - pretty good

I have a 2005 Corolla with a light beige clear coat. One day when I was using a cleaner wax, I bore down on the hood in three - four places trying to remove the last traces of some tar blotches. Big mistake!! The result was that the finish had lots of little monofiliment-fishing-line-like lines in circles around the places I had scrubbed. (Meguiars or somebody else had warned me to use a special soft cloth for this kind of work and . . you know the rest.) I tried Turtle Wax polish and followed up with ICE polish and still felt distraught. Well, on a gamble, I bought this product. It was either do this or take the car into a body shop. I just finished applying it and following it with ICE and I'm fairly pleased. I can't say how the finish will look later in the day when the full sun hits the hood, but it looks nice now.

Remove fine scratch beautifully, only improve deep scratch

I decided to order this product base on the reviews i read also did some extra study on similar products. This is probably my best bet for it's price.

I have rather deep key mark (show primer) and a few fine scratch on my new blue car. As it said on the directions if you have deep scratch you need to get the match paint for it. so we went over to Wal mart and get one of those 5 dollar repair paint that come with a small brush and ball pen in same bottle (they come in several known brand and color such as TOYOTA , FORD, GM, etc;) I also saw the same products at Kregen too.

First i wipe clean the surface with wet cloth and then very lightly wet sand to smooth it up with the sand paper provided it in the kit then wipe clean, The sand paper is 3000 grid which is very fine and did a good job for it's purpose. I like it much better than the 2000 grid one they sell at automotive store. Only if they give you more than just a few strips i will be alot happier.

Then I use the brush side to paint on the bigger scratch area and use the ball pen for finer line. Let dry for few hours. And to make sure i really fill those scratch well I re apply the paint and let dry.

After the paint completely dry use wet sand to very gently sand the excess paint off ( this part scared me the most because they said it very clear not to expose the primer, So take your time and be very gentle). When you are done with sanding the scratch should feel very smooth to the touch. It still look very visible but after i use cream no. 1 (buff hard) it look better so i decided to do it again twice. After 3 applications of cream no.1 and finished it with cream no.2 the scratch almost disappear. I still can see it a little but i know where to look for it. It does not take away the scratch completely but did improve and lighten alot. I think it's reasonable enough for it's price. If they sell this for 100 dollar then i will expect much better result.

As for fine scratch i have to admit that it works like magic. All i need to do is clean the surface, apply cream no.1 and make sure to let it sit then buff buff buff hard! , Cream no.2 give it super glossy shine. The scratch are completely gone. I was very happy with the result.
