It doesn't work very well on shallow scratches. Because it lifts the touch up paint out of the scratch. It will probably work well on deep scratches though.

Its basically thinner . most touch up paint are laquer based so this stuff wipes the high spot off I have used simular product with decent results .
It wii probably work well on the hood but a good wet sand and polish is all your other scratches need.

Remember dab the paint in the scratch a little at a time dont try to fill it up with 1 thick coat. let it dry well, then wet sand with 1500-2000 grit wet sand paper. Then buff it up with a good polishing compound such a 3m perfect it 3 wax it up and it will be much less noticeable ,not perfect but cheaper than a repaint!
If you have more questions just pm me for more detail.

How do you limit the wet sanding to just the scratch? Will the wet sand harm the area around the scratch?
