NO 
That stuff is crap. Don't waste your money.
Get some 3M Scratch Mark Remover and use that to remove the scratches. Really work that stuff into the paint. The longer you work it, the smaller the abrasive particles get, giving you an ultra-smooth finish.

gonna agree with that - i actually once bought and used the black also (years ago before i knew better)
it was crap . . . washed right off the next time - left a smeary look when it was buffed on after the application . . .
junk junk junk - but thats only my opinion (lawyers note, no brand name inferred here) :P
go the 3m route if they are beyond micro swirls - or try the optical diffusers like Zaino etc., which dont actually remove the swirls, but reflect surrounding colours into them . .. there is a limit though, and if you have them too deep for this - then 3M is the way to go . . . and go lightly but often . .its better to do one more time than realize you went too far and regret the amount of pressure you applied . . .

I tried some on my BLK Accord and about the best it did was fill the scratches with a lighter color black. Don't worry though, it washes off before you can buy another bottle.
