3M Scratch Remover, 39044, 8 fl oz

While waiting for my car at the car wash, I realized someone had side swiped the front of my 2018 white Honda Civic. I couldn't believe it. I decided to purchase this product and just used it. OH MY GOSH! It eliminated all of the scratches and even old ones that have been there since I bought the car. This stuff is incredible!!! Obviously deep scratches and paint peeled remains but everything else, GONE! This was so worth it! I am recommending it to my family and will use it again!!

So if you are looking to fix up deeper scratches, then this is not for you. This will take care of any scratch that is superficial, and paint still on. This is great to take out any door hits or paint or very minor and minute scratches. It is easy to use;just put circular and heavier pressure for a few seconds. It polishes also.

It works great but be ready to spend at least half an hour rubbing this hard onto the surface that needs a repair or removal of old marks. Multiple applications of this product on my bumper cover and hard rubbing followed by buffing done a great job. Don't give up on the first couple of applications; just keep applying and hard rubbing and buffing. At the very end, finish up with a nice waxed polish. Please see before and after picture.

This product does not work. I followed the instructions, and guess what? It simply doesn't remove or hide the scratch in any way. The light hair scratch on my vehicle is still there. And you can still clearly see it. I was fooled into thinking if I purchased a 3M branded product, that it would work. Its a complete waste of money. You still have to go to a professional body shop, and they can remove the scratch and make your car look like new. Thats why they earn the big bucks. Plain and simple. Your not going to be able to remove a scratch by only paying $9. Your going to have to pluck over the $300 to a body shop to get the job done. So if you buy this product, then you'll end up paying $309 instead. Don't waste your money. Your better off buying a toothbrush and deodorant for $9.

Easy to use, nice polish but it did not "remove" tiny scratches. Maybe some improvement in the finish but the superficial scratches are still there.

I bought this as well as the Meguiar's ultimate compound in attempts to remove really deep, stubborn swirl marks from a 19 year-old car. They both work. This one is MUCH more powerful though. It does leave swirl marks, so you do need to follow it up with a polish but I actually wound up preferring it to the more expensive Meguiars because it requires much less work for large, stubborn scratches. Unfortunately, I can't really get a good photograph of the difference because the camera just doesn't pick up fine swirl marks. Note that this was all hand polishing because I do not own a rotary buffing tool of any form and it still got out probably a good 90% of the deep swirl marks from years of touch car washes on an almost 20 year-old paint job. I am very impressed.

Did not remove (or noticeably improve my car scratches.

SO GLAD I got this product instead of trying to use touch paint on scratches! I am a TOTAL amateur - never even waxed a car before - but I love my Nissan Juke and wanted to restore its sparlkly white paint finish and remove little marks and scratches - especially now while I had lots of time at home due to COVID shutdowns! This product got out EVERYTHING except two spots that were definitely scratches you could easily feel with a fingernail. ALSO it got rid of all the stuck on bugs and black stuff on my hood and front bumper that the car wash just doesn't touch, even if I pre-spray! My car looks FABULOUS! Highly recommend this product!
