can this be used on rust scratches on the body of a car, to clean up the rust before painting over the scratch?

No, this is strictly for maintaining the shine and luster on chrome components. You want to use a rust eliminator for prepping metal for paint. Possibly a primer to do so.

I have not used it for that buy sure it will & then put on a bit of a protection. I use it for my motorcycle metal parts. It took away mild rust on chrome & polished metal along with water spots & road grime. It made easier to just wipe down for awhile before using it again. I do the tea pot & some other stuff like that for my wife also. I love the product

No I would not use this to polish a car. You want a buffer with a soft pad that you can use compound and wax

I'll be honest... I haven't tried it yet... I would tell you that if the scratches are down to the primer, you're not going to get them out with compound. There is no paint to polish in that case. There are numerous repair specialists who can repair minor stuff like that for a couple hundred dollars (like fixing rock nicks in your bumper) in your driveway. Hope this helps

Depends on how deep the scratches are. This is excellent for scratches like spiderweb on paint. Deep scratches require some serious buffing with a machine using special wax then use this last. Hope this helps.

not really sure, I used it on rust that was on the outside of the door. It did work really well for me. I did clean the door as best I could with a non-scratching cleanser first.

Yes but I would first use a compound and then use this and then wax.. this will get the fine scratches out and make it really shine... But make sure you put wax over it

If your car is older and has a lackluster finish. You can use it all over to restore the paint. It removes all the little scratches and swirl marks and oxidation, etc.... I wouldn't use it a whole lot though. Use regular wax almost every time. A car needs to be waxed regularly to protect the paint from rain, etc....

I wouldn't advise that. This is meant to remove ground-in paint, it would probably take other coatings off.

I have only used it on rust deposits on the surface of our fiberglass bathtub & kitchen sink. I would give it a try in a very small area to see how it worked. That way you can use a touch up paint to cover the area.

I wouldn't it leaves a rough finish and I 'm not sure if it has any negative reaction if it comes in contact with the skin. Contact Rust oleum they should be able to give you that info.

I don't think it would work, cuz rubbing compound is designed for paint scratch. Search for NOVUS 2 Plastic Fine Scratch Remover, it works great for polishing headlights. I can vouch for that.

I believe it may leave some residue, but that can be removed with a little cooking oil, I think. I wouldn't try this on anything painted--the paint will rip right off.

I think it would work well on any bare metal, as long as you wipe it clean with some rubbing alcohol before coating it with the paint. The alcohol will remove any wax or greese that may be on the copper, or any surface for that matter. Be sure to spray 3 to 4 very thin coats within 10 minutes of each. Make the last coat the heaviest without running the paint.

It will certainly NOT remove the scratches. The silver may help paint over scratches to make them less noticeable.

Interesting question. I used it to stop rust only on some parts I intended to paint. Since it chemically bonds to the metal if your intent is to eventually rechrome or repaint the part it may interfere with the process and require completely sanding it off. If parts are pitted this could be a real problem. Also when it dries it turns black which cosmetically would not be very attractive

It depends on what exactly you are trying to use it for. If you are trying to thin out a scratch in your windows sure, maybe it would reduce the look of a scratch, if you are just trying to clean a dirty window, you are using the wrong product, A simple car wash followed by some windex would do much better.
