T-CutWhite Scratch Remover Color Fast Paintwork Restorer Car Polish, 13 Colors Available, 17 Fl Oz

Using this on my Ruby Red 2016 Ford Explorer with the sponge applicator drill head was easy as pie. I was trading in the car and was a little horrified at how many scratches and fading had occurred during its 7 year lifetime.T-Cut did a terrific job on surface scratches as well as on a few somewhat deeper scratches. It obviously doesn’t fix really deep scratches penetrating the clear coat or going all the way to the metal. Once I used touch up paint and wet sanded the one deep scratch/patch I had (from an altercation with a bush on my property. I lost), I used T-Cut over it and it blended in the color variations that had remained.I’m a fan. A little goes a long way. On that big car, I used less than a third of the bottle. It’s not a large bottle.My new car is charcoal gray, so now I will search for a friend with a red vehicle. Or get a red one in the future. Lol.

This will help reduce the appearance of fine scratches and swirls in paintwork but it will not magically eliminate or remove all scratches. It's worth using as it will make even deep scratches less visible, however, it's not a substitute for proper paint repair. I was hoping it would work better but - overall - I can't complain as it did bring some luster back to the paint and made the scratches less noticeable.

A previous owner of my car left love bugs on the car without washing them off. They acid etched the paint in several spots. The dealer I bought the car from must have used a product like this as it was barely noticeable when I got it. After several washings I ended up with white marks all over the front of the car. In the photo below, I only treated the left half of the hood. It will keep me going until I decide to repaint. Product seems good to me.

Comes off when it is washed again

Does not work even on faint swirls or very light scratches. This product fails to fix anything.

This does a great job of hiding light scratches and minimizes the appearance of deeper ones.

Good scratch removal for dark red

Seems to work. Would have been nice if it were to have shipped with a cap on it. No idea how long it will last. Have it stored in a nitrile glove to keep from drying out. No way though to ask for the cap (lid) it should have shipped with and leaked in shipping.
