I have some of their product on the way so I suppose I'll be able to report how well it works.

I've begun to work on polishing out the trigger-marks in my tank. I can attest that the above products do work, although they require a lot of time and effort. "Triggerfish skid marks" seem to need the 6000-8000 grit to remove. After using the 8000 grit, the panel seems clear, even though I have a 12000 grit that I'm supposed to use after the 8000.

Note that a "Triggerfish skid mark" is a scratch that cannot be felt with your fingernail...so it is not very deep at all. Repairing a deeper scratch (like that caused by falling rockwork), might leave an optically distorted area.

Unfortunately, the process is not so easy that I would consider keeping my Triggerfish.
