lol.... this is too funny.

if the paint's already gone (deep scratches) it's not going to fix it. im pretty sure
they're scratching their 'deep' scratches only enough to penetrate the clear coat,
not the base coat.

how the hell do you fix a ding with a polisher and touchup? lol need PDR.

save your $20, get ScratchX and a Kiwi shoe polish foam pad. this combo works
great if you're only going to do a small area.

It could potentially work. However, it'd have to be a pretty aggressive compound to work out scratches like that. And if that's the case, you'd need to follow up with a more mild polish to get out the marks that the aggressive polish would make.

FWIW, meguiars does have this kinda stuff out. This one just looks more simple, and I doubt that lil POS tool they use has the power to correct defects like that. Who knows though

trust me, if you do enough searching...by typing "fit it scratch review" on google...you will see TONS of people saying it doesnt work! they say the buffer pretty much stops spinning once pressure is applied against the car! trust me.....go to this thread posted by me.....its the best thing for scratches....and the EASIEST!

got a scratch? this is what consumer reports found!

Yeah that lil buffer that they use looks cheap as crap. Definitely needs the power to spin while being pushed down to correct anything
