Review: Ten thumbs up !!! - If all my fingers were thins this product would get a 10 thumbs up! Someone with good intentions took an 'eraser' type clean g pad to my new truck, in an attempt to remove a swipe mark. The result was many many scratches to the clear-coat finish. A local body shop wanted $125 to buff out the scratches. I purchased this product to try the task myself, and 2 minutes of using it with a round polishing pad, by hand, and then wiping the excess with a paper towel- every scratch mark was gone and the clear-coat finish shines like it's brand new right out of the factory! An excellent product!!!
Review: Incredible - I have used scratch removers in the past from other manufacturers and found their performance to be lack luster at best. Having been impressed with other Mothers products I recently thought "What the heck" and purchased the Mothers California Gold scratch remover. I thought it best to test this product on the worst scratches I could find. Naturally I went to my wife's car and found what I was looking for. Due to my previous experiences I wasn't willing to hold my breath. Now I wish I had taken before and after pictures. To say I was astonished does not do it justice. After using the Mothers California Gold Scratch Remover on her car I AM NOW AND WILL FOREVER BE A FAN! It is unreal how well this product works and how little effort is required. In a few short minutes my wife's painted surfaces went from looking like it had gone three heats in a demolition derby to looking near perfect. There were a few spots where nothing short of a new paint job or divine intervention would remove the blemishes. But even they look much better than before. To the folks at Mothers, you never cease to amaze me. You have a loyal customer for life.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it work on black metal file cabinets?**
A: This product is developed for automotive paints, but it should remove or minimize scratches on all types of paint and powder coats.

**Q: can i use this scratch remover on my appliances?**
A: Yes, you can use Mothers 08408 California Gold Scratch Remover on your appliances. It is a safe and effective way to remove scratches from a variety of surfaces, including metal, plastic, and glass.

**Q: Will this remove a scratch from my toddler’s chalkboard?**
A: Mothers California Gold Scratch Remover is formulated to remove scratches from glossy surfaces such as automotive paint. Chalkboards generally have a "flat" (not glossy) finish, and while Scratch Remover may remove the scratch, it would also likely create a shiny spot which might be more distracting than the scratch itself. In other words, I wouldn't recommend it.

**Q: can i use it to remove scratches on handbag hardware?**
A: Not certain it will work on a handbag unless it is metal but depending on the hardware you are referring too, it should as long as it is not a deep scratch. I use Mothers leather conditioner on my leather couches and handbags and it always does a great job.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ very fine scratches
*by R***D on December 23, 2012*

It took me a while to put up a review as I had no cause to use it. My Dad came to me with a 3 foot scratch along the side of his van. It looked like the ol trying to fit a shopping cart between the wall and the vehicle maneuver. The scratch was not deep, but it did go past the clear coat in spots. Following the instructions, I applied a bit and rubbed in different directions. It took the scuff mark off the van with moderate work. I would say it removed this a lot quicker than paste wax would and with less effort. Once the scuff mark was off, I could still see a mark in the clear coat which varied in depth. I continued to work on this. It disappeared in spots completely and seemed to repair the scratch back to original, but there were still areas that need more work. Before I proceed further, I will consult someone more knowledgeable than me just in case I do harm to the finish by working it too much. Don't get the wrong idea, after using this product and putting a wax coat back on, it is pretty much disappeared, but if you know where to look, the deeper areas can still be detected in the right light.
