turtle wax color match?

I've seen this color match ( i can't rememmber the real name) stuff, it's made by turtle wax and comes with a lipstick type thing. It is supposed to cover up scratches when waxed in. My Question is if any one has used this, I'm looking for a quick fix until my car goes in the shop.

That wax isn't too bad just as good as most waxes I have used, also the lipstick scratch remover, works decent best scratch remover I've used, it doesn't really take out the scratch but it hinds it quite nice, definitely worth the $8.

I bought and tried this stuff on my white 91' firebird. It didn't really work all that well. I don't know if it's because of my paint or what. (Crappy Van Nuys paint; i can't even use touch up paint or my original paint peels away) There was some spots where it appeared to almost work though. My uncle tried it on his black car and on his dark green truck. He said it worked awesome.

Yeah, the wax was just like any other wax I've used. The crayon was pretty cool for fixing small chips in the paint, but it didn't work on the larger chips or scratches very well. It looks a lot better than touchup paint, but since it just fills in the chips I don't know how long it will last for.
