Thank you for submitting your review.Esperanza! 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.

Excellent scratch removal paste.
Great product. I had scraped a car door against part of the house with our super narrow driveway (you only have about 8 inch margin for error. It did a great job of removing the paint and the scratch below. This does work best on thinner, hair line scratches than something huge, but it has been great on everything that I tried. It does seem to turn watery in about a year. So, I would get a new tube if it is old. I have also used a scratch out in a yellow bottle from Autozone. The company used to be Kitt, but they seem to be now called Formula One.

Didn't work
Didn’t work at all. Only reduced to 3 stars because Target gave immediate refund without question. So satisfaction guarantee is true.

Works Great for almost 14 years
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.

Pro Tip
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.

Works great!
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.

Actually Works just takes time and pressure
Actually works just used Turtle Wax pads and lots of pressure, took about 30min of going back and forth. My car was hit in a parking lot

Bad packaging
Terrible packaging. I removed seal and reattached the screw top and it broke instantly. Product did kind of work but I could only use it once

Its like makeup
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.

Best if used by THOR
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)

Works as described
[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.

Magical wizard potion!
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!
