Re: What happens if the is scratch is deep enough to catch your fingernail?
I'm no authority, but I can say with a good deal of certainty, that if the rust in the chip is not fully removed and/or neutralized beforehand, the chip repair, no matter the paint used, will be pretty much ineffective long term.
That rust is a cancer that will return in time.
It may not be too late if for say if you are not satisfied with the first repair attempt. "They claim" that most touch up paints can be easily removed with Acetone. Note how I say "they claim".
Always test first in some inconspicuous place first if doing such I would say.
Your title though asks about a depth of scratch issue. Pretty much if a scratch is deep enough for a fingernail to catch, it might be unlikely to fully remove the scratch.
Polishing might lessen its appearance, rounding the edges of the scratch, but again, one has to be careful. That in the process not removing too much paint and/or Clearcoat.
Yes, it's not uncommon that a chip make take a number of applications of a touch up paint to fill and level. That there can be shrinkage when drying.
The one beauty and character of Dr. Colorchip touch up is it is a paint system that dries in a matter of minutes, not hours, days, or weeks.
