I bought a used 2009 silver G6 and on the inner part of the drivers handle, there were surface scratches from a woman who must of had long nails. It was the one thing that really stuck out to me when it was sunny. They were off color and looked hideous. I decided I'd try this out after reading some of the reviews and it did everything plus better. I thought it'd just take it away a little bit, but as I buffed the scratches were literally disappearing from sight.I can't say this would work on a car that was keyed, or severely messed up, but for scratches on the surface, this product works wonders.
