Default Need some advice/suggestions

Hey everybody got a question for ya'll.
I have some scratches in the clear coat on my paint. My truck is Black and I just tried using Turtle Wax Color Magic Car Polish and it absolutely did not work. I applied like three seperate coats and there is very little difference so im trying to figure out what would work. I was recommended by a friend to use this clear coat filler that was on T.V. but im not sure so looking for answers. Thanks for your time gents.

If your scratches are through the clear, or pretty deep you'll pretty much have no choice but to fill/touch-up. Best way is to hit it with some clear touch up, let it cure fully, then clay bar it or a mild rubbing compound to smooth it in.

If they are light scratches, try some other scratch removing compounds.
