Don't waste your $$$$ on this. I had some scratches on my bumper, so I went out and bought some of the Turtle Wax Colour Cure Polish and I tried it out. I used the chip stick and it filled in the scratch mark, followed the directions on the bottle, but after like 2 days, it wore off It just doesn't work.
Try some of that Scratch X applicant. I haven't tried it, but heard it works.

Was this on your old V8 beast or the max?


WOW i'm glad to hear others have the same problem. I went to autozone one day thinking wow this stuff will take out the white marks and scratches in my bumper. It didn't do a DAMN bit of good. The only thing is the polish took out most of the tiny hairline scratches around my keyholes in the front doors, but still a small consolation.

DON'T waste your money.

I've used it on my black Maxima, and an anthracite blue VW Passat. I didn't expect it to magically fill in my scratches, or chips. It work satisfactorily for me. What it actually does is take the white out of the scratches, and turns them a variant of your car's color. It just makes it so the chips, etc don't stand out as much. It takes alot of elbow grease to really rub the stuff in, and get it to stay. IMHO, for the money I would buy it again, simply for 2 reasons.

1.) If you've ever waxed with regular wax, you know how much of a bi*** it is to get ALL the white residue off. Weeks after a waxing, you'll still find some spots where there is white wax still left in a nook or cranny (ie emblems, around molding etc). With the colored wax, this doesn't show up near as bad, especially on a red or black car.


2.) It does make rock chips, etc harder to see, especially from any kind of a distance. Step back from a 10 year old car afer using the colored wax (about 5 feet), and you won't see the rock chips. Now if you are really close, and look, you'll still see them, just not a obvious. All in ALL it gets rid of the sandblasted look of your bumper/hood.
