Does*
Or has anyone tried it yet?*
My car has super deep scratches*

I think if you post pics of said scratches the members here may offer more help .

Here is a link to the product, but I have never heard of it!
http://www.amazon.com/Quixx-00070-US-Paint...r/dp/B000UVUAFO


I have rather deep key mark (show primer) and a few fine scratch on my new blue car. As it said on the directions if you have deep scratch you need to get the match paint for it. so we went over to Wal mart and get one of those 5 dollar repair paint that come with a small brush and ball pen in same bottle (they come in several known brand and color such as TOYOTA , FORD, GM, etc I also saw the same products at Kregen too.

First i wipe clean the surface with wet cloth and then very lightly wet sand to smooth it up with the sand paper provided it in the kit then wipe clean, The sand paper is 3000 grid which is very fine and did a good job for it's purpose. I like it much better than the 2000 grid one they sell at automotive store. Only if they give you more than just a few strips i will be alot happier.

Then I use the brush side to paint on the bigger scratch area and use the ball pen for finer line. Let dry for few hours. And to make sure i really fill those scratch well I re apply the paint and let dry.

After the paint completely dry use wet sand to very gently sand the excess paint off ( this part scared me the most because they said it very clear not to expose the primer, So take your time and be very gentle). When you are done with sanding the scratch should feel very smooth to the touch. It still look very visible but after i use cream no. 1 (buff hard) it look better so i decided to do it again twice. After 3 applications of cream no.1 and finished it with cream no.2 the scratch almost disappear. I still can see it a little but i know where to look for it. It does not take away the scratch completely but did improve and lighten alot. I think it's reasonable enough for it's price. If they sell this for 100 dollar then i will expect much better result.

just how deep are your scratches? agree that pics could help here-
if you can see metal, no polish will work.
if no metal, you might be able to improve the scratch with a compound.... which will cause compounding haze- so you "step down" to a medium polish and then finish off with a light polish (swirl remover or paint cleaner type).

I used this for deep scratches in clearcoated finishes and it worked superbly for a mini kit. It is a diy for people who don't have a complete kit and experience.

It's basically a mini wet sanding kit. I used it for a couple small scratches and one deep one (went through clear coat). The small scratches came out just fine but the deep one is still there but it's noticeably smaller.
it works great i tried it. i got the some not soo deep scratches out but the really deep one is still there. i sand that spot to much now its through the clear coat. its kinds Grey there. how do i bring it back?.

yup please post pics as for wetsanding without a paint meter I would probably stay away from that.

if you see white in your scratches and your fingernail catches you may not be able to fix it but again pictures when you get a chance.
