3M Scratch Remover

3M Scratch Remover offers an ideal way to repair simple damage such as course-to-fine scratches, swirl marks, or paint imperfections with no hassle and no waiting. This product uses fine minerals to remove the scratches from the paint and bring back a high polish finish. Using this paint scratch remover is an inexpensive option for repairing automotive surface blemishes.

Scratches Disappear

3M Scratch Remover polishes out scratches from clear coats instead of filling them in with wax like other products do. What's left behind is a beautiful, high-polished finish that will impress you. This product removes many types of automotive surface blemishes, including car wash scratches, scuffs, oxidation, light stains, tree and shrub branch streaks and surface contaminants.

A Choice of Application Methods

We formulated our scratch remover for cars for ease of use. It's a versatile product that may be applied by either hand or machine. When applied by hand, it is easier to use than rubbing compound and doesn't require any tools.

  • Scratch remover eliminates scratches, swirl marks and more
  • Formula contains no wax so scratches are polished out, not filled in
  • Compound combines medium-cutting with fine finishing
  • Versatile product may be applied by hand or machine
  • Product delivers professional results at an economy rate

Directions for Use

To Apply By Hand:

Apply to small areas, about one to two square feet.

Dispense a quarter size drop of remover onto a clean, soft, microfiber cloth. Apply to the painted surface using a firm circular motion.

Work the area using a firm, circular motion until the cleaner is dry.

Remove remaining film using a 3M Microfiber Detailing Cloth (PN 39016).

To Apply By Machine:

Dispense enough material on the surface to work a one-foot by one-foot area.

Buff area using an air or electric buffer equipped with a 3M Polishing Pad using light to medium pressure.

Reduce pressure when product begins to dry.

Remove remaining film using a 3M Microfiber Detailing Cloth (PN 39016).

So Amazing!

So Amazing!
I had a big tar blob on the hood of my Jeep, and could not get it off. I ended up using a plastic scour pad lightly with some other product to get it off, and ended up with a huge scuff mark on my hood. Tried this product, which goes on easily and removes even easier, worked fantastic (had to use 4X, but it’s quick and simple). I’d highly recommend, as the embarrassing scuff mark is gone altogether. Unbelievable product! Thank you 3M!
