I've seen this on various shopping channels and it appears to disguise minor scratches in paintwork. So when I saw it for sale more cheaply in a French supermarket, I decided to buy one. I haven't used it yet, but wondered whether anyone has any experience of the product. And would it be suitable for minor scratches on alloys?

My dad has used one, it's terrible! It looks like he's gone over his car with black tipp-ex!

Honestly, a good t-cut does a much cleaner job!

I take it that the car was black?

yes - probably should have said that.

Honestly, it's not a good clean finish. To the point where it will devalue his motor.

Finally go around to using this on some minor scratches to a door sill. Basically it's [%*^#@!]. Glad I didn't spend much to buy it. Wouldn't want to use it on the main body of the car. When it's fully hardened I might experiment by T cutting it down.
