Scratch Removal System, 39071, 1 Kit

This does the job of removing those annoying "scratches" on your vehicle with minimum effort. I've always been able to completely remove what is essentially paint transfer from another vehicle to your vehicle. This won't help with the major or deep scratches but works well for the minor and surface (above the clear coat) scratches.

Just used this 3M kit on our 2011 Lexus RX350. Had a number of chips and dings on the back doors. Removed the scratches and polished up nice. Love 3M products

This kit is outstanding. Used on a dark grey metallic car, world rally blue car, and a dark green car (all clear coated) with outstanding results. However, you have to have realistic expectation management and understand a few things before using it: 1) This kit is for light scratches only--as in very minor, just into the clear coat type of scratches. If you think it will do more, you will be disappointed. I used it on a deeper scratch (but not one that exposed the primer), and while the visibly white part of the scratch is gone, if you look closely, you can see the “indent” of where the scratch was. However, that indent is at least "color matched" LoL! 2) This kit uses a tiered system of abrasives to essentially “blend” away light scratches. That said, you must have a very, very, very light hand. Anything more and you WILL create dull spots. Did I mention using a light hand? When using the sandpaper, use only enough pressure so as to not drop the paper when using it. When using the pads/drill, put enough pressure on it to only to maintain surface contact…do not push the drill/pad into the car when working on it. 3) You must have a light hand. 4) You must take your time. Like others that are impressed with this kit, I wish it came with more of the included products: more sandpaper, more scratch remover, and more compound. Hence only 4 instead of 5 stars. Otherwise, great and effective kit!

Great product worked exactly has described. I would recommend the product to anyone that needs to remove clear coat scratches.

We had our son apply this to where he scraped our minivan door on the side of our house (70% of the sliding door and a few other scraped spots). Although the scrapes seemed quite deep (check the DEPTH of the scratches before purchasing!), this multi-step system -- applied according to directions (not easy but fairly quick...less than an hour) -- took care of almost all the scrapes (made the buffed spots the shiniest on the car too!) Highly recommended.

I had a scratch on my car that I wanted gone so I did some research and decided I would try to buff it out with this 3M scratch removal system. I watched the video multiple times and read the directions very carefully. I am very good at following directions but in the blink of an eye when I was using the small sand paper that comes with the product, it took the paint right off of my bumper. I was not applying much pressure and it really happened so easily and fast it was very disappointing. It turned my scratch into a quarter sized stripped down area and now I have to have a professional fix it. I have to stress that I went over the directions very carefully. My conclusion is that this is not something that should be used by beginners who are new at doing touch-ups. I think it probably takes some extra knowledge to know how to approach these things as well as practice. I also must mention that the package was missing the rubbing compound it was supposed to come with and when I called 3M they wrote it off and told me to contact Amazon, which wasn/t even worth my time. Now I wish I would have just left the scratch alone or let someone more experienced buff it out. This system just opened up a can of worms and caused more damage to my vehicle so be very careful if you choose this product for touch-up's.

My 15 year old son who is learning to drive took a corner too tight and drug the back end of my Traverse against a chain link fence pole. With it being an 8 year old car and plans to upgrade next year, I decided to try to get it to look better myself. I went into this with low expectations, with hopes that it would just make the scuffs and scratches more subtle versus completely removing them. Well, this definitely exceeded my expectations. I followed the directions exactly and all together it took less than an hour. I was blown away by the results. Other than the dents, you can't even tell the marks were there. Although large, I will say these were more scuffs than deep scratches. There were plenty of minor scratches that it got out also, but I cannot attest to deep scratches. (The proud even states if the scratches catch on your fingernail it won't work). This kit is amazing, and I'm so glad I found it!

Absolutely terrible! This supposed "small scratch remover" from 3M is not only useless, but it caused much worse damage than what I was trying to fix. I wouldn't give it half a star if I could. I bought this product hoping to eliminate a superficial scrape on my car door. I read the instructions to the letter and, just to be sure, I watched the official 3M video on their website. I meticulously followed every step the manufacturer indicated. The result? The original scratch is still there, but now I have a considerable and visibly lighter mark in its place. The product removed part of the paint! Instead of a simple, small line, I now have a serious defect that has completely ruined the finish. Now, thanks to the poor quality and ineffectiveness of this product, I am forced to spend a significant amount of money to take the car to a professional paint shop and correct the disaster this 3M bottle created. Damn product! If you value your car's paint, stay away from this. Save your money and your time, and don't risk having to pay for a full paint job after using this garbage.

I'd accidentally scratched my 3 month old CX5 by trying to remove some glue-like bird droppings with a twig - bad idea. The scratches were very obvious and really annoyed me every time I got in the car. I called three 'professional' scratch removers in my area, and when I sent this photo they all said I'd need to get the whole panel resprayed...! I saw this 3M product on a product review channel on YouTube - it came out the best one but also the most expensive. I thought I'd give it a try - even if it didn't fix it it'd probably be better, or I'd need to get the whole panel resprayed anyway. For $60AUD it's worth a go. I've just spent about 30 minutes using it - and the scratches are totally gone - it looks like new. If you look at very specific angles in the right light you can just about see some very slight indentations where a few scratches were - but they edges are very softened and there's no colour difference. Basically you can't see them anymore. I'm sure if I spent a bit more time on it then it would be flawless. I did an area about 30cm x 15cm overall and there's plenty of the two rubbing/polishing compounds left over. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow - all you need is a power drill which can run at low speed, some water and a few paper towels. Great products - saved be a lot of money.

Makes easy work of removing scratches with the proper compound! Just wish they made a 5” or 6” pad for a polisher.

Removed the scratches of my motorcycle tank would recommend

Funciona en rayones superficiales. Lógicamente en los que se pierde mucha pintura, no funcionan.

OMG I never believed it would have work that great! I succeed to remove a serious surface scratch! But beware, if the scratch is too deep like to the metal it won't work. But for clear scratch like the one on the picture it did magic! I cannot even found were the scratch was now. THANKS 3M!
