Has anyone ever tried this to cover up small scratches on the paint of their car? I used Mother's once and it did cover them somewhat, just curious?

Hi Chris, there's no dye in this product so I don't think it would work like some of the other products out there for touching up paint scratches. Hope this helps.

No, I wouldn't use it for auto touch up paint for a small areas because the paint would have to be too thin. This would result with runs in the paint. The best application for your needs is a Pen Air Brush, which can use with a small compressor to prevent a lot of over-spray from getting on other areas of your vehicle, including the wind shields.

I was completely disappointed. It did not cover ANY light scratches on my black car. I tried the sander that came with it and it made the light scratch worse.

That's not what it's for. If you're looking for a product that removes scratches from the body of a vehicle, try http://goo.gl/AFj0q

I just tried it on my car. Worked pretty well. Won't make the scratches go away. Just makes them darker. Makes rubber piece look newer. But you knew that. I think you will be pleased with the results.

I used it to remove paint rubbed onto the car from a minor bump in a parking lot. With a lot of elbow grease, it worked for that without damaging the paint. I don't think it adds shine, but I suppose it will make the car shinier if whatever you're removing had made it dull. Maybe the VW dealer was removing something that was impeding the shine.

Hello. Well I use it on my toyota pearl blizzard white and for more that you poliah or wax a white car you will never get it to look like a polish black car. But of course it does protects it and helps to maintain it clean. Because it repels water very well.

I would not use it as a general polish for all over the car. It appears to be formulated to remove scratches and swirl marks from paint. For a general polish, I would use a clay bar.

It did not scratch the paint - but it does look like the paint had something rub on it and it had not left my driveway. It had a 50 gal. plastic tub in it, but nothing else, as we were just trying to get it to fit properly. I am sure it will look ok once I get it buffed, and I REALLY wanted it to work for us, but we did not feel it was safe enough for us to use. You may find it to be just what you need - the other reviews certainly affected my decision to buy in the first place.

I have had problems using this product, never a spot. However, I have no idea what you used so could not say with certainty that this product will correct spots caused by the product you used. I do feel it's worth a try, cheaper than trading cars!

I tried this product on some not-very-deep surface scratches on my car, and it did absolutely NOTHING. I would not purchase this product again.

Yeah, I did on some of my interior trim and it worked great. Just do it in low humidity, use the second buff pad, and give it time to dry before touching it. If interior is all you need though, I used some cheap vinyl polish/protectant and that works really well for me on my interior surfaces as well. This stuff does wonders for my exterior vinyl though. I used it once a year ago and it still looks great after going through car washes and mag chloride.

If you find the right color number for you car that matches your silver (there are many silver formulas) then yes it is amazing for small scratches. Be sure to get the clear also and have patience, and read the instructions. I used a small amount on an artist brush with just a few hairs left rather than the roller ball applicator and slowly filled in the scratch a thin layer at a time and soon it disappeared. Add the clear to match the shine and finish with rubbing compound and wax and you can hardly tell the scratch is there. Make sure you let each layer dry.

I used it like that on the entire surface of my trunk - looked great! I'd think it's safe to do so, but I'm not 100% positive either. Made my trunk look like a black mirror, it looked fantastic...

Key marks, only if the scratch is not down to the primer. For clear coat and light paint scratches, this stuff is great. Used it on light stone scratches on my Z4 - superb results. Used it on 2 long trunk scratches on my wife's Toyota - didn't completely eliminate them, but you have to look darn close to find them now. For about $15 it surely doesn't hurt to try.

Well I'm not an expert on car paint but my 2010 RAV4 was beginning to develop oxidized spots so I purchased this product in hopes it would help/prevent it from getting worst. It worked well on my car. A little elbow power (ok, a lot of elbow power & wax on/wax off) the spots were gone. However, I do tend to upkeep to make sure the oxidation doesn't happen again.

It may take a few applications but yes, it's almost like a polish without being one usually followed by Mother's carnauba wax. It's the very best product in the market if this doesn't work it's because your car needs a new paint job.
