It will but not by magic, it'll take some WORK. You have to get the entire surface that's scratched covered EVENLY with the SAME type of scratches you have that are now offensive: same depth, same width...try using the same offending pad that produced those scratches or something that will get the same results but faster (like a rubbing compound, maybe). Then you use a FINER abrasive that will produce smaller scratches and you go over the entire surface until those deep ones are all replaced with a finer, EVEN, pattern. Then an even FINER abrasive, and so on...you get the drift. If you haven't done it before you will learn what it takes by doing it, you get faster with experience but if you take your time and do it thoroughly, you can get just as good a polish. If the combination of rubbing and polishing compound won't get the results you want, try substituting pumice, rottenstone, and/or buffing compounds like emery, tripoli and rouge. Good luck to ya!
