Thanks for all the great feedback, lads.

I guess when I said the scratches were "scary" I was a bit biased. The only time you can really see them is in direct sunlight. I believe the paint on the car is the original laquer, but with a clearcoat on top... I'm hoping to use the Scratch-X mainly on the roof, where there's lots of swirl marks, as well as cracks in the original laquer paint. I would be surprised if the product helped with the cracks, but I'm hopeful it will hide some of the swirl marks. Again, this is just an interim solution until I can get the car re-painted this winter.

Thanks, again.
