Can this product scratch a newer car's finish?

Hello. We don't know because we used the product on an older car (from 2000). We were just happy that the car looked better than it did before!

Unfortunately not. This stuff works with the clear coating of the car paint. I believe they make scratch removers for crystal watch faces, but I cannot say if they really work as I have had no experience using those products. Take it to a jeweler for a repair estimate.

If you find the right color number for you car that matches your silver (there are many silver formulas) then yes it is amazing for small scratches. Be sure to get the clear also and have patience, and read the instructions. I used a small amount on an artist brush with just a few hairs left rather than the roller ball applicator and slowly filled in the scratch a thin layer at a time and soon it disappeared. Add the clear to match the shine and finish with rubbing compound and wax and you can hardly tell the scratch is there. Make sure you let each layer dry.

This product looks good but you cant touch it, wash it, or bump it without leaving a mark. I did the glass bumpers on my race car and it shows everything even if you pass over it with a soft dry cloth.

Hello! To answer your question is that you want make sure that color matches your car, This product will only cover up the scratch and it has like a ball point pin style that applies the paint and it comes with a brush as well. I used this item on my black Mercedes and it did cover up the scratch and sometime scratches can be buffed out, depending on how deep the scratch is if it's a hair line like scratch it shouldn't be a problem. Hope this helps and good luck.

Should be no problem whatsoever. I also had all kinds of scrapes and scratches on my bumper and had actually considered having it airbrushed before applying the BumperTek. But decided the BumperTek would cover up most of them, and it did. And there was no issue getting it to adhere to the bumper right over the scratches. Bill

I don't think it would scratch your car, but the directions ask that you put a towel or mat underneath when putting the scatmat on a car in warm weather, because water spots from condensation could show up.

What you can do, is get touch up paint of the color of your car. Lightly build up layer after layer till it's above the paint scratch line.Let it cure for a 3 to 4 days. And then use the process with the quick scratch remover. Use the compound and bring it down to level with The paint line. And then buff with the finishing compound. It will probably turn out better than you think. Good luck

Man I'm sorry to hear that. If the key scratch goes through the clear coat I don't think this will help. This is for the spider webs and swirls you see in the sun in your paint. I don't know if you have a buffer but I would start with a more aggressive polish (V34 or V36?) on the orbital and work your way up. If you don't have a machine find a detailer. It would probable be cheaper that way and he will do it right.

I haven't removed it, but it is not supposed to damage the original finish. I will probably not remove it unless it starts to peel loose. I don't know if that happens or not.

It will make the scratch much less noticeable but in no way remove or repair it. I used this product on a couch my pet had made many scratches on and it did a great job of making the scratches less noticeable and the finish more like the original.

I have used these dusters for many years on very expensive cars and never scratched the paint. Just remember this is a "duster" not a washer. Your car should be clean and washed and only use this to dust.

Shouldn't be a problem. It does not remove scratches though. Use polishing compound or super-fine grit paper for that.

If you install them on a dirty car, yes, you take the chance of scratching the finish. Where it attaches is small enough that it would be reasonable to wipe the mounting area prior to putting them on. As for denting from too much tightening, the instructions detail on how to use the included tool to properly torque the mounting screws as to not damage the car or the mounting brackets.

There's no doubt about it - you must clean (i.e. wash with water) the car to remove all dirt, grease etc - I use a small amount of detergent in the water too. The results of the nu-finish are fantastic - I've been using for three years and have used the polish three times and it lasts for a full twelve months each time

No it does not. Most scratches will disappear without the paint touch up. Really deep scratches all the way to the primer may have to be touched with the touch up color paint that you can get on E-bay or your dealership for about 6$ small bottle with a brush. The code color is on your car on the driver door frame most of the time. But like I said most of the deeper even scratches don not need the paint since these days the manufacturing companies put up to 7 layers of paint and 2 layers of the clear coat.

I don't think so. Try car compound. Flitz has to grit in the compound to remove scratches. It's more like a polishing cream.
