Would prob be ok on a light scratch in the laquer as its basicly just clear coat but thats about it dont get sucked in by these gay computer generated adverts the company i work for refuse to stock anything like this i have had plenty of people come in and say they have bought this and it doesnt work and some say it does at the end of the day it depends on the scratch

Better to use a thin paint brush,steady hand and thinly coat the scratch with clear lacquer.i had a pen like that 1 and for the scratch I needed to get rid of it was to wide and would've overlapped the lacquer over the scratch.
