Default Success with Scratch

Just wanted to give some props to the forum and Turtle Wax. I read here where someone suggested using Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound Premium to minimize a scratch. Well, my bike FOUND a scratch on top of Saddle Bag cover right across the blue. VERY obvious. I was sick to say least. Thought it was going to be one of those, "live with it" issues. Well, went out to Wally World and picked up a container of The Turtle Wax compound and it is ALMOST unnoticeable. Well, after that success I went after some other minor swirling issue and some chrome and it worked wonders. Much less effective on chrome, but wow, what a shine after the rubbing compound then some Harley Glaze. Anyway, just thought some on here might find it useful. Perhaps many already know this little tip.

Does it work as well for an itch as it does for a scratch? I got a itch.
