Formula 1 Scratch Out Liquid - Car Scratch Remover and Polishing Compound for Light Scratches, Hazy Paint and Swirl Marks (7 oz.)

I’m actually so shocked at how well this took out some big scratches!!!

The other day I was unloading some wound garden fencing from the back of my SUV and one of the bundles came unwound and scratched my vehicle from the rear tail light to the front door. It looked horrible. The scratches were very easy to see. I looked online at Amazon and saw this product. I know it isn't made to get out a deep scratch so I ran my fingers over the scratches and could not feel them so I ordered and gave it a shot. Today I went out and washed off the car where the scratches were and dried it per the instructions. I then shook the bottle and applied in circular motions working it hard. To my happiness, most of the scratches are gone. Today is a very cloudy day so a day with sun will show it better, but I could see very little of the scratches. Once I go look again I may have to buff at it some on any that remain. It even got the really bad scratch out of the tail light cover. I doubt this will help on anything deep, but it seemed to work well on the scratches I had and to me they were very noticeable before and almost invisible after. This is a must have product. I will get it again if needed but will try and be more careful next time!

I applied this SEVERAL times to light scratches and scuffs, lots of elbow grease used, it did NOTHING. Didn’t even lighten the scratches. Smell isn’t bad but for the effectiveness, do not buy.

A leading auto magazine recommended this scratch remover, along with several others, due to its ease to use. They mentioned in the article that you'll need to apply this product several times to get the best results, and they're right! I noticed with each application that the light scratches I had on my driver's side door (due to a careless shopper in the grocery store parking lot) were less noticeable each time. It's easy to use and doesn't have an industrial smell. There are more costly scratch removers available that have multi-step directions and include buffers, polishing cloths, etc., but for the money this product is a good first try if the scratches on your car are superficial.

I read a lot of reviews before buying this, but Scratch out really is the go-to product. Someone left a 7 foot scratch down to the metal on my shiny new truck. This made the scratch nearly invisible with maybe six minutes of easy work. Most of that six minutes was just letting the product dry to a haze before buffing it off with a cloth. Easy, cheap, and effective. Update: this product did work well at first, but the effect wears off quickly. After a few days or a single rainstorm the scratch reappears. This is like putting makeup on a scar. It does not fix the problem and does not last.

My husband told me not to waste my money on a product like this because it wouldn’t actually do anything, but boy am I glad I didn’t listen! Obviously scratches won’t just “disappear” like they were never there and I knew that when I bought the product. I just wanted it to be less noticeable and it did just that! I also saw a review where someone used on their headlights and it worked! I don’t have before and afters of that, but my husband was overall impressed and I was very satisfied!

Takes some elbow grease but I couldn’t believe how well it worked. My hood and roof were full of scratches.

I have detailed my own vehicles as well as family vehicles for 30+ years. I really only use hand applied products for my detailing. I tried this product based on some external reviews and was disappointed. I was looking for a product that would removed microscatches or swirl marks visible is direct light. This actually made the test clear coated paint surface worse than when I started. I used my go-to old reliable products to correct the additional scratches this caused. My go-to products are Meguiar’s ScratchX 2.0 and the slightly less effective Turtle Wax Scratch & Swirl Remover. Use a good, soft, clean microfiber cloth for application and removal. Finish it up with a good couple of coats of Turtle Wax Hybrid Cermaic Spray Coating to protect. Depending on how bad the scratches are, you may have to apply the scratch remover 2-3 more times to improve it. I cannot speak to the end result if your scratches are deeper into the paint or down to the bare metal. I typically fix bare metal scratches with touch paint/clear coat first and address the nearby micro scratching/swirls after the touch-up paint has cured long enough. I believe this Scratch Out product is too abrasive for micro scratches/swirling. If unsure, always start with a small, more concealed area, if possible. Good luck!
