Yep I've tried it on several occasions. Although it does remove very minor scratches, it won't remove most deeper scratches. It does however improve the appearance of it. Just be careful to apply a coat of wax after you use the scratch remover.

I tried it on my Santorin blue A4 and it did not work at all. I think it works on some cars but apparently not the A4.
If use on light scratches ok but for deeper damage on clear coat I don't recommend(especially if you have dark paint color).Fyi.
I purchased a tube last year at Target for only 10 bucks. Tried it on my Maxima SE on a few scratches and it did not work. The scratches are fairly deep.
However, my wife's Honda Accord was keyed a few weeks ago. It looked as if someone was just standing there and gently scraping the car with their keys. Needless to say, the scratches came right out. I was pretty impressed.
Those were light scratches on the paint and I believe that if it breaks throught your clear coat and/or primer, your S.O.L. with that product.
Good luck

... it took the small doorhandle scratches out of my Pearlescent paint without compromise.
A friend of mine used it to remove 2-day old, Yellow graffiti (spray paint) from her Sarano Red Mitsubishi Mirage! Took the yellow paint off, and left the red paint glistening and looking like new.
If you are hyper-anal retentative about waxing your car, etc. it won't work. This stuff works like this: it essentially eats through your clear coat and then melts and bonds with the underlying paint. That way, you can smear the bonded paint over the scratch. When it dries, the melted clearcoat supposedly dries as well. Don't use it on a car that you aren't planning on painting in 3~4 years... but if you have that many scratches, you might as well, since you'll eventually be painting it anyway.
