Can WD-40 effectively remove scratches from the bodywork?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Body

In the video that the YouTuber shows us, we notice how many superficial scratches—clearly, they must be of this type: deep scratches still require a body shop—seem to disappear with the use of WD-40. In reality, this product does not effectively remove scratches from the car's paint. Although it may temporarily make the scratches less visible by filling them with the product, it certainly does not remove them permanently. Let’s always remember that WD-40 is a lubricant, not a polishing compound, and it does not contain the abrasives that would be necessary to smooth out the scratches.
