Q: scratch does nu finnish remove scratch

A: No, it does nothing for scratches. There are other products that are intended to remove or hide scratches but strange as this sounds, for minor scratches, I've actually found that the Magic Eraser from Mr Clean does a pretty good job.

1 Answer

A: Thank you for submitting your question, Scoops. We always recommend that you first try Nu Finish® Car Polish on an inconspicuous area, even if you are polishing your car. Do not use Nu Finish® Car Polish on vinyl, plastic trim, simulated wood, rubber or flat paint. Also, do not use Nu Finish® Car Polish on areas like tile floors and bathtubs. It makes the surfaces extremely slippery and could cause injury to others. For any further information please email us on autohelpline@energizer.com to report your issue.
