    Well in the infomercial thing it sure looks amazing but I dno if I'd actually buy something marketed like that, it just never seems to end well lol. If you're just trying to remove some scratches, Meguiars ScratchX worked well for me :)

    For scratches that weren't deep yeah it worked quite well, I had a fair few disappear. I found a lot of it was in the technique, though. I was using a few fingers and rubbing firmly and getting pretty average results but my Pop was just using one finger directly over it and it worked really well that way. It is fairly expensive but you don't use a lot of it. I did every scratch and water mark (not what it's recommended for but it helps a bit) that I could find and used probably less than 1/4 of the bottle.

    Fix it is a joke. Better off with a sharpie!

    Scratch X can be handy for under door handles and the like for cleaning and filling scratches temporarily - not much cut, so won't remove anything but it is heavy on the fillers. Using too much pressure will cause it to basically remove itself - it's a cleaner/filler - but the results won't be permanent so you'll need to redo as the fillers wash out. But an abrasive polish and patience will still garner better results. Good for a quick fix though.

    edit. There are plenty of better cleaning and filling products available though, if you hunt around.
