There are three things I think about FilmGuard taking care of scratches:

1) It won't remove scratches. It only hides them.

2) It won't hide deep scratches. It will lessen their appearence but it won't make them completely invisible.

3) FilmGuard doesn't do everything in one application. There will be a noticable difference after the first pass or two but the real "magic" happens after the third and subsequent passes.

So, if you're expecting FilmGuard to work like a magic wand you're going to be disappointed.
