Gs27 Scratch Remover kicks butt!

Just like the title. I was at Walgreens (only store open) on Thanksgiving to buy some tire dressing, and happened to come across this stuff called Gs27 Scratch remover. I was a little skeptical, since it was from walgreens and only 10 bucks. This works on all paints, and chromes I believe, but of course try it out in an inconspicous spot before you use it. All you need is a cotton towel to use the product. There is no buffers or electrical products required, just elbow grease, and a lot less of what you would expect. Well, here are a couple of pics the first is the product. The second one is before I used the scratch remover on my front bumper. I made my own grill, and it scratched the living crap out of my bumper as you can see. It was actually about twice as bad, since I decided to snap a photo in the process. The last photo is the finished bumper. I used this all over my car, and got rid of about 75 scratches with half a tube of Gs27. Here are the pics, I recommend this product very very much to people. i am very pleased with the results.


Awesome Stuff

All scratches were very easily felt with your finger.

End Result

I am very happy, just wanted to let you guys/girls know of a good scratch remover without a buffer.

I was told that it does not really remove scratches it just gives the optical illusion that it does....... After a few car washes the scratches will show up again...

Ill find out in about 2 weeks than. It wont remove a scratch, because you have a scratch in your paint, but it gets rid of all that crappy looking scratch, and covers it up. If it is a small scratch, it completely gets rid of it. The larger ones it covers. up very very well. Ill post back if it shows up again, though.

Nope, not a one. Still just like when I used it. I have washed at least 3 times, since I posted 3 weeks ago. Maybe 4. Still looks great though. If they do decide to show up, it is very easy to remove them again. Was VERY worth it in my opinion. Did you see the pics. It worked awesome? the only way to completely remove it, is to sand and paint, or paint over it. There will be a scratch, but it is a white scratch on my car, so you can not see them at all. I have been asked 2 times in the last week if I got a new paintjob.

I used Gs27, followed by nufinish (the once a year polish), than a meguiars wax.

that sucks. I had my car completely maaco'd one year after I bought it. It has a crappy paintjob, but I keep it looking nicer than every other car I see on the road. You might have to use it a few times on the scratch if its deep. It should cover it up very well if its deep. But small ones, really do disappear for good I believe. I see no traces of scratches on a lot of parts that I used it. At least 50 scratches/key marks are gone now. It worked on like 3 or 4 key marks that I had.
