SHINE ARMOR Car Scratch Remover 4oz - Advanced Car Paint Scratch Repair & Restorer, Revives Faded Paint, Scratch Remover for Vehicles, Corrects Surface Marks & Leaves Streak-Free Gloss

This work exactly as intended. Had a scuff, and several small blemishes on my white WRX. Took some small dabs of this, a micro fiber, and I rubbed it in medium-hard pressure as they said, and the scuffs / small scratches and blemishes all came right out! Super easy. Good as new! I’m very happy with this product and the price. Plenty of leftovers to use in the future! In LA, many small cosmetic scrapes or scuffs from parking lots are inevitable from careless people. This WILL NOT work on scratches you can feel with your fingernail. Deep scratches etc. only cosmetic blemishes/ scuffs or small small scrapes it will buff them out.

I had some scratches in my drivers door from a post a the gas station. The damage included some mid-deep scratches and yellow paint from the post. I purchased this product after hearing from a friend how well it worked and I was honestly skeptical, but for the price I thought it was worth a try. I put a buff pad on my drill and buffed the compound in well and couldn’t believe the results! Paint transfer is gone scratches mostly gone. If I didn’t know where to look I don’t think I would be able to find them in normal lighting. This product isn’t magic, there are signs of a scratch, but this product lessened the appearance very well! Try it before you spend hundreds on paint matching and see what it can do!

worked only for 3 days then scratch would become visible again

Wish I got some pictures before/after but I used the product just before trading my car in (😉) and I only got one last-minute picture of the damage the product caused. One thing I noticed could really screw someone’s Saturday afternoon up if they’re using it on a black vehicle. On small areas where you’re concealing a few scratches, the product worked for what it is. I have (had) black paint on the car so it shows damn-near everything. After using the product, the smaller & not so deep swirls/scratches all but disappeared. The deeper scratches that were shining white were reduced to minor swirl-like type of scratches. Fantastic. BUT, I don’t recommend waxing your entire car in it. I had one door that was particularly bad with bumps/scratches/swirls. I ‘waxed’ the entire door with this product and once I wiped and buffed it off it looked GREAT... Until I got to the dealership and the sun was starting to set.. The light hit the door JUST right and holy GOD I’m glad I didn’t wax my entire car in it. This product RUINED the door. I mean, it absolutely trashed the clear coat and put so many swirls in it... I don’t know if it was user error or what but when I saw it I nearly died. Luckily, the dealership didn’t notice it. I attached the one and only picture I got of the door it ruined. So, if you have a few small spot-jobs to do, this product will work fine. If you have a black car and need to do a large area, I would proceed with caution.

Works alright, as long as you have realistic expectations. It'll remove minor scratches and paint swirling, but don't expect it to be a miracle for super deep or long scratches that hit the base coat or deeper. For minor/light scratching, it does the job, albeit it is a little expensive. Seems like a good cutting compound might do the same, however I have never tried that yet as a comparison. I'd recommend, if you have access to it, trying a cutting compound first - might be more cost-effective for the same effect.

Tried this once and I don’t see anymore scratch

I have to say after trying this on some rust spots on my 15-year-old car, I was amazed. I'm talking about places where rust was just starting to form through the paint (not like rusted through of course), where salt from our roads had penetrated into the steel beneath, forming rust spots visible to the eye. By applying this to a rotary foam pad (sold here on Amazon in kits for around $10.) attached to my drill I was able to buff out about 20 of these spots in just a few minutes. Now I can apply a dab of touchup paint to cover the little opening the former rust had made through the paint, to protect the metal beneath. Then I'll wax. Really improved the look of the hatch on the back of my car and the roof which had numerous rust specks like this, up to 1/4 inch across. It even worked on a 2-inch long, narrow crack in the paint where a slight impact had made an opening to the metal beneath, allowing rust to form along the crack. Wish I'd taken photos to share, I really couldn't believe how well it worked for this. Will try it on scratches and other areas next.

Either my scratches are too deep or this doesn’t work. I was hopeful but won’t buy again too much work for too little result.
