These pens are everywhere and you can easily get one either at a physical store or online at an affordable price. There are also so many ads that make it look like these magic pens are the ultimate solution for car paint scratches, but what’s the real score as to their effectiveness?  It turns out that most of these products tend to address only very light scratches in the clear coat. That means that these products can’t fix deeper scratches—those that penetrate the paint level. 

Now you might ask, “Okay, so, what if the scratches in my car are very light and are only in the clear coat? Can’t I use them?” The thing is, these products come with applicators that usually are still too wide for thin surface-level scratches, and what that means is that although you do get to apply the product, you’re likely to end up with a residue that will be far from unnoticeable than the original scratch you were trying to deal with. For light scratches, you can instead use a car polish compound from https://nanotechsst.co.uk/ that’s easier to apply and is specially designed for such a purpose.
