I used to detail cars for awhile, and I found if you work in some compound wax in circular motions, light-medium scratches will come out. If the scratch is just through the clearcoat, it will come out, but if it's into the paint, you can forget it.

It does work.... but not for a long time. Wash your car a few times and the scratch comes right back. The GS just seems to fill the scratch, and in a few car washes the scratch comes right back. I was amazed at first.

I wouldn't buy it. Waste of money

I used audiovisuals.com as well, it's like $21 shipped. I need Fiji Pearl Blue and the Honda Dealership didn't even have it. Took about a week and a half to get it from audiovisuals but the color matched perfect and the felt tip pen is easy to use, can't even tell I had a rock chip on the hood....

i managed to get my local honda dealer to get me the Touch-up paint pen for $11.35 CAD. Its the exact color for my car. I tried that Turtle Wax crap that comes with the chipstick (looks like lipstick) man does it suck!
