I'm sitting here watching TV and just saw a commercial for Scratchdini. I can't believe people fall for this crap. We spend thousands of dollars on detailing supplies on this and many other sites. Why? We should just buy a bottle of Scratchdidni for 10 bucks and make everyones car scratch free. Has anyone else seen this commercial? What a joke. They make it look like you just lightly wipe it and the scratch is gone. We all know to make a scratch disappear all the paint around the scratch has to be brought to that level. Just a rant. I hate it when people see this stuff and think that you can just fix their abused car that easy.

Kinda reminds me of those as seen on tv dent repair kits. Clever marketing at its finest!

Wipe on - wipe off "scratch repairs" simply fill the scratch with something far less permanent than paint. 10-20 feet away, scratches that were visible are all but gone. Get close up and you'll more than likely see the scratches.

The biggest disappointment to me is the un-educated customer (about 85% of all customers) think if their scratch can be "fixed" for $20 or less, they expect to pay the same amount if a pro repairs the scratch.
