I have next to no experience in auto detail. Can this be used on home paint? Mike — I personally have not used the Magic Eraser at home, but I have heard of people doing so.
I performed a quick google search and it does seem to remove scuff marks from floors, doors, baseboards, etc. For exact answers I would highly recommend contacting the manufacturer for the best answer possible. Take care! When I retired, I cleaned all the baseboards in my house with Magic Eraser and found that in some spots it actually wore the paint off. So be careful with it. I used a magic earser on my car to take the tree sap off.. Dylan — You do not want to use a wax as it will not help remove any imperfections you added to the paint when using the Magic Eraser.
A traditional wax will only protect the paint you apply it to. Instead, you are going to want to perform some polishing steps to remove the imperfections. I would recommend starting with the M and an orange pad. This is a stronger corrective option and should remove the majority of your imperfections.
If you test it on one area and still need more corrective power, the purple wool pad is a good option to use with the M After using the M, follow up with the M and a white pad to remove any haze and finish the paint down. Angela — I would not suggest using the Magic Eraser, it can do more damage than good. I would also highly recommend trying to remove it asap. The long it sits on the trim, bakes in the sun, etc.

Magic Erasers are made from melamine foam, which acts like a very fine sandpaper. Abrasive materials like a Magic Eraser can remove the protective seal on your stone countertops. Without that protective seal, your stone could be vulnerable to scratches, stains, and other forms of permanent damage.
What To Use Instead: Use my easy-to-make homemade granite cleaner and a microfiber cloth to wipe down stone countertops. This combo will keep your stone countertops clean, shiny, and protected!
Nonstick cookware requires special care, mainly because of how easily the nonstick coating can scratch, especially if you clean it with abrasive materials like a Magic Eraser. Once a nonstick pan is scratched, the chemicals from the nonstick coating can leach out into your food—no one wants that! What To Use Instead: Hand wash your nonstick pans with a soft sponge and a bit of dish soap. If you have a really stubborn mess on your hands, use a bit of baking soda to help loosen it up.
Even with as durable as stainless steel can be, using a Magic Eraser to clean it will likely end up leaving small scratches on the surface. While some people are fine with scratches and scuffs on their stainless steel, other people may want to protect that super shiny finish for as long as possible.
