One of my favorite sayings "it will just buff out....right?". It's often spoken in prayer form as the customer knows if it doesn't the price has likely tripled. So to know if it will buff you need to know how deep it is. Generally if your fingernail can catch it, it will not buff out.
To remove a scratch 100 fix but it can defenitely take some of the eye sore away. Here is an example of a non-polishable scratch:
Since the scratch has altered the basecoat it can no longer be removed 100%. On some colors you can get a pretty good partial fix by first touching up the scratch like this:
Then sanding and polishing as normal. Depending on the color it can yeild different results. Solid colors you can typically get looking near perfect while some metallics can leave something to the imagination. The scratches depth plays a part in what results you can get with a partial fix but can be a great alternative for keeping the costs low and ideal on a used car touchup.
