How do I know if a scratch is light enough for this product?

Run your fingernail across the scratch. If your nail does not catch, the scratch is in the clear coat and this product should work. If your nail catches, the scratch is deeper and may require a multi-step kit or professional repair.

Does this permanently remove the scratch or just hide it?

The compound actually polishes the scratch out of the clear coat surface. It contains no wax, so the results are permanent rather than a temporary fill that washes away.

Can I use this on a matte or satin paint finish?

No, this product is designed for glossy clear coat finishes. Using it on matte or satin paint will add unwanted gloss to the treated area.

Product Details

Not every scratch needs a full repair kit with a drill and multiple compounds. For light scuffs and surface scratches, 3M's Quick Scratch and Scuff Remover handles the job by hand in a few minutes.

It comes with one packet of 3M scratch remover compound (1 oz) and a Trizact scratch pad. Unlike wax-based products that just fill scratches temporarily, this compound actually polishes the scratch out of the clear coat. Run your fingernail across the scratch — if it does not catch, this product should handle it. If your nail catches, the scratch goes deeper than the clear coat and may need a more aggressive approach like 3M's full scratch removal system or professional attention.

No tools or power equipment needed. Apply the compound to the pad, work it into the scratched area by hand, and wipe clean. The Trizact pad does the cutting while the compound finishes smooth. It is a simple, pocket-sized solution for the kind of light damage that happens in parking lots, at car washes, or from everyday contact around door handles and trunk edges.
