This does work, I've done it myself. We had a hire car in Spain, brand new black BMW 1 series which was a new model at the time. Left it parked on the street in Salobrena and came out in the morning to find it keyed down one side quiet badly. I am guessing a local did not like having this brand new car with a huge SIXT sticker on the back parked where it was. Anyway took the car and had it washed at the local east european car wash (in Spain) and it was now cleaner then when I collected it. 10 mins with a black crayon purchased from the local newsagent and it was good as new.

Returned car, it was dirty and the car duly passed the check in at SIXT when dropped back at Malaga airport.
