Fell for that viral "as seen on TV" car scratch remover - took me 3 hours to buff out the haze it left behind.
Honestly, I saw that $20 bottle of GlowShield in a Facebook ad and figured it was worth a shot, but after applying it to a deep scratch on my Honda's door panel, the residue wouldn't come off and I spent a whole Saturday fixing it with compound - has anyone else had to sand down a botched DIY fix like this?

Sucks that you wasted a whole Saturday, I've been there too. Robert_ross95 brings up a good point about Honda paint being finicky with heat, so you probably dodged a bullet there. At least now you know those cheap fix-it bottles are mostly hype and not worth the elbow grease.

Those cheap scratch removers are basically just wax with fine abrasives that fill the scratch temporarily, then dry out and leave that haze. You might have had better luck using a dedicated compounding polish like Meguiar's M105 or something similar right after the GlowShield before it fully set. A heat gun on low setting could have softened the residue for easier removal too, just keep it moving so you don't cook the paint.
