Just saw an infomercial last night for this product. It supposedly eliminates surface scratches on the body of the car. Has anyone used or bought this product? Simoniz is a reputable brand so I thought I might splurge for the $20 and you get a nice auto vac for a few dollars more. www.buyfixit.com

Any thoughts?

My guess is it just fills the scratch, so there is no reflection and it looks like it's gone. I'd bet that after awhile, it would reappear.

If you do buy it, let us know what the results are after 5-6 car washes. Thanks.

It will attempt to eliminate the appearance - but the scratch will still be there. It's just a mild polishing system - so many of those around.

I liked the old infomercials better when they sprayed the lighter fluid on the hood and set it on fire.

I'd buy it just to get Billy Mays to shut the hell up! He's worse than the "Head On" commercials.

May Ron Popiel rest in peace. Is he still alive?

From Wikipedia: Ronald M. Popeil (born May 3, 1935 in New York City) is an inventor and marketing personality, best known for his direct response marketing company Ronco. He is well known for his appearances in infomercials for the Showtime Rotisserie ("Set it, and forget it!") and for using Ed Valenti's (Ginsu Creator) famous lines, "But wait, there's more!" and "Now how much would you pay?" Each phrase followed the addition of another item or feature to the catalog of a product's advantages or attachments. The advertisements frequently answered the "how much?" question with potential prices, followed by the dramatically lower actual price. Also a Valenti creation.

The Pocket Fisherman was my favorite if only for the name.
