Key quote:
Quote:depending on the temperature and the seriousness of the scratch,

It's a resin, so think a very slow moving liquid. Heat makes the resin more fluid, resin flows into scratches.

Will it work? Hell, I don't know.

It contains little microspheres of liquid resin / paint. When you scrath them, they open up, releasing the fresh paint which fils the scratch, then dries.

so it can only work once in a given area, once you pop the bubbles, that area is done, i guess its good if you lease your car, or just go through them quickly, i cant imagine it is cheap, and who wants to respray their car every 3 years
