Yes, I bought 3 pens for the same price or near enough the same in Costco recently.

It is a clear varnish, so while it will replace the lacquer and fill in the scratch, if the scratch or chip is down to the primer or bare metal it won't make it disappear. However, with scratches that are more surface like then it they will not be so obvious once the pen has been used.

Hope i explained that OK  Joanne

My 2011 HSE has a scratch on the rear number and a dent in the passenger door. It's going into the dealer to have the dent fixed and bumper resprayed. But more money!

I was hoping it would get the big dent out of the front wing with the swipe of the pen, damn! knew it sounded too good.

If it is anything like the "T Cut" instant scratch touch up , which is a clear lacquer in a pen.
Do not waste your money, it just puts a layer of lacquer over the the top of any scratches it has no effect on replenishing the colour and when you look closely you can see what looks like snail trails all over your scratches.

Best get proper touch up colour matched IMHO.

Oh and the t cut stuff is £6 in asda, a third cheaper than the other but is the same thing!

Popped in to my local car shop Sunday to see if he sold these pens and he said almost the same as defenderben in the comment above..
The bloke in the shop said hes never used the pens before so i found it hard to see how he had an opinion

As for the touch up color pens i bought one and what ever i did it stood out like a sore thumb even bought another one a shade lighter but still stood out

Anyway if you knew me, you would know i never take someones word for anything till i try it my self, as you know from my Door Courtesy Welcome Logo LED Light post, that ended up in the bin

Just popped out to homebase to pick up a JML Mantis scratch remover pen

There is a scratch on the rear bumper but you cant see it in the photo. It's quite small but still annoying.
