Do they really work well, if they work at all? I just saw one for a product called CBX3000, and they have footage of someone keying a car and then applying the stuff (basically apply the liquid and buff gently) to make the scratches disappear. They claim that the formula's "crystal matrix" bonds to all types of paint.

I mention this because many owners have complained about the soft paint.

gs27, wonderscratchremoverontv whatever that crap they sell, i doubt any of it works...watching informercials (as i am an expert) at 3-4am, you really want to dial in but after seeing them often enough, you start to wonder, like gs27, its suppose to fix scratches by bonding to the paint as it is not an abrasive (so they say), but its also supposed to remove rust and overspray (thought it wasnt an abrasive...hows it supposed to work?) then a lot of the scratches look suspiciously like crayon...i wouldnt believe it till i see it in person, and im not wasting $29.99 plus shipping on some elmers glue and sand.

Keying scratches the paint off, and so do the rocks that are causing paint chips. You can't fix a deep scratch in the paint...how are you going to bond to something that isn't there? Things on infomercials NEVER work as well as they do on TV, if they work at all. I do have some "as seen on TV" products that I would recommend, but most informercial crap is just that...crap.

I think those things do work, but they thin out the surrounding paint, so who knows what happens to it after a few years. Might have a bald spot.

People, save your money... they don't work! My uncle bought the GS27 (the cream and crayon package) and had me try it on his car. They're crap (can I say that?). The cream is just another type of wax (nothing regular ones like Turtle Wax can't handle) and the crayons were just a waste.

They DO work SOMETIMES, but they work by dissolving the surrounding paint. Heh, my Lexus was expensive, I dont think I'll go out and dissolve the paint
