Worth the moneyI had several clear coat scratches in my dark gray Highlander. The showed up as white scratches and were very obvious in sunlight. I tried every scratch remover, Meguires, Harley Davidson, No Touch, etc. Nothing would remove them. I bought the 3M scratch removal kit #39071. I followed the directions and with a little effort the scratches came right out.

Mixed Results...I did a lot of research about fixing the light scratches on my car trunk before purchasing this product. I have mixed reviews about it. It's a 3-step process.
1) Sand down the scratches with the provided sander pad and water mist. This was really labor intensive. I ended up attaching the sand pad to a drill to make this part go faster. Still, I probably spent over an hour doing this. You have to be slow, methodical, and careful about it. You need to sand out the scratch, but not get into the paint layer. I was disappointed that the kit only came with one small sander pad. Definitely needed another, if not 3 of them.
2) Buff with compound. My main complaint with this step was that the compound comes in a packet (like you'd get for salad dressing), so there's no way to seal the unused portion. Also, it's a bit messy when your using the drill buffer, even if you spread it before you start spinning the drill. I had a lot of cleanup to do afterwards. Otherwise, it seemed to work fine.
3) Buff with polish layer. Exact same complaints here. No way to seal unused portion. Makes a bit of a mess. It did restore the shine, which I was a bit worried about after the step 1 sanding.
Overall, it mostly worked. The shallow scratches are gone. Shine is back. The deeper scratches are still visible, although less visible than before. Perhaps if I was braver, I would have sanded the larger scratches down more. Or maybe if I had more than the single tiny sander that felt like it ran out of steam before I had attacked all of the trunk scratches. Not sure it was worth the money and effort though. Perhaps I was over ambitious looking for a magic bullet solution.
