I ask because I used it to "polish" out some scratches I had on my car(while fixing something else, I forgot my metal zip on my jacket, and was rubbing that over the paint!!!). all the scratches were all in the same spot, so they're easy to see. I used ScratchX to polish them away, and they seemed to disappear. Only issue was a few months down the track, they appeared again, but this time, they actually look worse, because there's now more scratches ON TOP OF the original scratches. Only thing I can think of is that the ScratchX, being slightly abrasive, added the new scratches and filled both the new scratches and the existing scratches, so that they disappeared. But eventually the fillers will wear out, and they will be exposed again.

I got it polished out properly by a detailer, and now the paint is perfect again
A lot of people have reported the same type of thing happening, which leads one to believe that it has fillers in it. Just search on Google and you will read similar stories of scratches 'coming back'.

I never subscribed to the theory that you need a 'scratch remover'. A good polish removes scratches...so why do you need a special product to remove scratches?
