I used it on my red Dodge Ram after scraping sides against trees and bushes. It worked pretty good.

Had gotten hit across the side of the rear bumper (silver A4) by a NYC yellow cab, it took out all the yellow paint and any associated marks and scratches. I was surprised, I usually don't get this kind of stuff but my wife got it for her car and I was about to turn my leased car back to the dealer. Did not appear to affect the clear coat. Of course a scratch down to the primer won't work.

<br>Results looked real good at first, but not that impressed. It's an improvement, but don't expect miracles if the scratches are even a little bit deep. <p>BDW '99 1.8Tqms.<p><p>

Default Some good results, some not-so-good results....

I got some at Target on a whim. It made some of the smaller, finer scratches completely disappear. And I had a pretty long, deep scratch on the hood that it greatly improved, although it didn't completely remove it.<p>But on some other scratches, there didn't seem to be any effect at all. And after numerous tries on a deeper scratch on the rear decklid, it left a swirl mark that I haven't been able to get rid of.<p>So, I'd say if you use it carefully, it will generally help fine scratches, and deeper ones to a lesser degree. But there are probably better products available.<p>Rich D.<br>'98.0 A4 2.8QM

It only works on light scratches; the commercial is BS!

Default All that cr*p is is a very light-duty rubbing compound. (more)

If you want to buff out a scratch, first use a very fine polishing compound and see if it works. If not, try a more abrasive compound. Be very careful if you've never used compound before, it can take your paint right off! How 'bout seeing a professional. After you compound, make sure to buy a product that will remove the fine swirl marks left behind. Such products can be found at carecaronline.com.

Could they hire a REAL actor. The commercial is so cheesy!
