A good friend of mines e55 amg was keyed at the mall. I thought itd be hopeless upon first inspection because i could feel the scratch with my nail. Anyway, i tried some scratch x and it did a great job.
Oh yea applied and worked in with a viking applicator i bought from the dollar store. The foam seems a little too rough for applying waxes and sealants but it worked perfectly in this scenario.

Looks to me a little like the residue of what the idiot used to attack the paintwork, maybe plastic from the offending item? If that is the case then ScratchX would be perfect.

I did not like scratch x when I first tried it but I must have improved my technique cause I think it is pretty good stuff too. I`ve used it with my PC and a green Sonus pad and been very happy. It removed cobwebs and other rubs that refracted light strangely.

Didn`t know ScratchX could handle something like that. I`ve used it successfully on faint lines, but nothing like that. Good job !

Process was very simple. But i have to reiterate that i was very lucky. If the scratch was any deeper, the scratch would still be visible.
step 1) clean surface. I just used DP waterless car wash spray
step 2) I squeezed a half an inch line of scratch x on to my viking applicator pad. I think the applicator pad made the difference because the foam wassome what coarser than most foam applicator pads. It looks like the s100 foam applicator pad foam but its actually a bit coarser; Alot coarser than the megs yellow foam pad. btw, i picked these up at my dollar store.

Step3) i worked the product in vertically on the panel. The scratch was horizontal, so i worked against it. I started with moderated pressure then added a bit more.
step 4) wipe off with mf, inspect. If it wasnt totally gone, id repeat step 3.
yup, so scratch gone
