    Satisfied User - 2 months ago
    I am just now going to purchase another bottle of Scratch Doctor at my local Target store since mine is down to only about 10% left. I purchased it November 2014 and it has worked on every scratch I have used it on for my cars as well as my nephews. Often times I have had to rub very hard for several minutes. But, I have often been surprised that the scratch I was trying to remove could possibly be removed. But, it has worked every time. Not to mention that one 6.5 oz bottle has lasted almost 14 years. My most recent scratch, about 10 inches long, took around 10 minutes of hard rubbing but with just a paper towel.

    Thank you for submitting your review, AL! We deeply apologize for the inconvenience. Please note that sometimes it takes more than one application to remove the surface scratches. It’s important to work the product thoroughly into the car’s paint. Continue to work it in using pressure until the product disappears. Then, you can wipe off the excess to a shine. You can repeat this as many times as necessary, but you should see an improvement in the appearance of the scratch in the first application. Please email us at autohelpline@energizer.com if you encounter any issues. Nu Finish Consumer Services.

    Pro Tip

    4 out of 5 stars
    carhelper - 8 months ago
    This is not car polish, aka it is not a very fine grit paste used to buff off scratches. Not quite sure how it works but after letting it sit on some paint transfers for about 5 minutes they came off fairly easy. May need a few passes but eventually should work. This isn’t going to remove a scratch as that is not really possible, but it may do a fine job of filling it in and making it appear repaired. Just wanted to post here that letting the product sit for a bit may make the scrubbing a bit easier.

    This stuff did exactly what I needed it to do. The only thing it didn't remove is spots I assume to be actual paint scratches, which I think is what a lot of these reviews think it's going to remove, it can't replace paint.

    It works, temporarily. Once you wash your car, everything comes back. So if you’re going on some hot date and watch to hide some surface scratches , this will do😐 Does not work on deep scratches.

    At first I thought this product was a sham and I was ready to return it but I gave it one last try. A WHOLE LOT of elbow grease later, the scratch is gone. It works as long as you scrub like your life depends on it. 10 out of 10 would buy again! (Btw the scratch was worse then shown in example photo, I got halfway through and took a photo for reference when I finished)

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this product! It's easy to apply but requires a little elbow grease. The hairline surface scratches disappeared without any adverse reactions to the paint job on my vehicle. I would recommend this product to a friend.

    This coffee or whatever stain sat on my car for nearly a year cooking in the sun and no person, place, car wash, and even the dealership couldn’t get it off but this magical wizard stuff took it right off I had to pick my jaw off the floor. Went crazy and did every scuff and scratch my car was so clean and shiny it nearly blinded me. I think this is the second review I’ve ever done because I’m lazy but y’all have to know about this stuff!

    I thought for the price, I could always just throw it if it didn’t work. I’m actually really impressed. I have a new vehicle, naturally, I’ve been parking far away from others. The one time I didn’t I came out to two decent scratches to my vehicle. I was worried this product wouldn’t help or even “fix” the scratch. But I’m a believer now that I used it. Though, I used some pretty good pressure to work it into the scratch, but it took me less than two minutes and I’m really happy and genuinely surprised and impressed with the results. I even used it on a smaller less noticeable scratch and it buffed right out. So happy I bought this product!
