Magic wax. Is this for real?

https://7secondssmile.com/pages/magic-repair-car-wax

I watched the ad on ESPN. Some guy hitting his headlights and fender with a spatula. Then waxes it off.

Surely such products don't exist?! The claims seem a bit far fetched. Deep scratches being polished out in one go.

Unless it is heavy cutting the paint. :

these products should be banned, they are false advertising. There is no product out there that does what this claims to do

Amazon reviews tend to be honest, from real people. The exception is when a product is new. For the first six months or so shills are used to post glowing reviews to get the ball rolling. Always look at the most recent reviews.

The only time I even consider a product shown on TV is if it comes from a reputable, established company like Griots or Meguiars.
