Meguiar's Scratch-X

[zey]

Has anyone tried Meguiar's Scratch-X? Is it really effective in removing swirls and scratches? Is it applied to affected area or used as a polish on whole car?

"carguy" uses scratchX alot... you can find him on this fourm. From what I can see, he has a brand new Porsche which is not in need of multiple layers of polish so I guess he only uses it on the spots where he can see swirls.

i've used it too...good filler, not much at removing a deep clearcoat scratch though...does reduce ugliness of a scratch though.

barely works for me, but i've only done it over a Z'ed car?

not sure if it did much.

seems to work on very very fine scratches. anything deep. it doesn't do much.

I have it but haven't use it a lot. I prefer Eagle One Scratch Remover to it.

I tried it and was totally unimpressed. There are much better products available for scratch removal IMO.

I use it for spot-treating scratches my normal PC routine doesn't get, and I like it. I use it by hand, one finger, foam pad. Wipe on/wipe off - it has reasonable filling capabilities and very nice gloss. rub hard, 2-3 applications - you can safely remove clearcoat.I usually stop when the edges of the scratch are rounded - rather than remove so much paint that the scratch is gone - I'd rather have the clearcoat and this effectively hides the scratch forever.



there are certainly more aggressive compounds - but this is aggressive enough that I feel I have good control over it by hand, and it leaves a very nice finish.

I've used it on at least a dozen different cars, and with each car, I get different results. On my car, it smears and hazes, leaving "3D swirls." On a black E320 Mercedes I used it on, it worked great. I had great results with it on a BMW 528i, as well.



Come to think of it, a lot of products work on other people's cars that don't work on mine . I think my car is cursed.



[EDIT] By the way, I do it just on spots, not the whole car, and do it by hand.
