They mention in this article that they used Bar Keepers Friend on a paint scratch and the scratch disappeared. Not sure what’s in Bar Keepers Friend, but is that a good idea?

Barkeepers friend is what I used to use on a work boat to remove rust stains.  I wouldn’t rub it on my paint.

The scratch disappeared because it’s now hidden by all the other tiny scratches you just added.

Sure, if you want to get rid of a big scratch and add a bunch of small scratches.

It’s the same idea as rubbing compound.  But you have to be careful of grit size. A very fine abrasive will polish; a less fine one will dull with lots of tiny scratches. I’m not sure whether BKF is fine enough for car paint. Some people use toothpaste though.

I’ve used it on windshields before, but I wouldn’t put it on my paint.

Why take on a vast project when you can just address it in a half-vast way?
