Default Getting rid of scratches

Do any of the products out there that claim to get rid of scratches really work? I have a few long but not very deep scratches on my car that I would like to get rid of.

scratchX works on clearcoat scratches but the rule of thumb is that if your fingernail can catch on the scratch then it needs more than just a scratch remover

Try a professional detailer, check for quality and references if possible. If he can't help........ body shop.

JMO, but running your finger nail over a scratch, only produces more scratches.
Why not just try the product ? If the scratch goes away, it works. If it doesn't ....DUH

Save your self the headaches of trying all the scratch removers I drove myself crazy doing that. Go to a detail shop ask for ref's and look at some of his work he's done, and let the professionals do it for you. I have my car done every 6 months wash detailed and polished 105.00 with tip is well worth it.
