A decent product if you want to do it by hand. It takes several applications per panel and takes lots of time.

Better off with a PC and some polish.

but in the long run if your a person that wants to keep the scratches away would this be a more practical approach to polishing so that you dont quickly eat up the clear coat?

i can easily polish with a buffer but i just want to know if this is a good secondary method between polishing with the buffer...as to keep the intergrity of the clear coat?

thanks!

Go over the whole car with SCRATCH X?? thats a lot of work in my eyes,

why not use a dedicated swirl remover?? and buff, then polish

why scratch X ?? I really don't think it's for the whole car...but for small discrepancies, besides that Scatch X is pretty abrasive.

If you properly use Scratch-X it will take you 6+ hours depending on the car/truck.

Have you felt Scratch-X? It's pretty abrasive, you can feel the "sand particles" in the product.

You would be MUCH better off getting a PC, and one of these products.


XMT Ultra Fine Swirl Remover #1 by Pinnacle For your dual action or rotary polisher.

Poorboys Polish with Sealant

At the first sign of swirls, light scratches, and oxidation, use Poorboy’s Light Abrasive Super Swirl Remover in the pink lotion.

Meguiars #9 Swirl Remover cleans and polishes auto paint to a smooth shine! Remove swirl marks and water spots with Meguiars #9 Swirl Remover Car

Meguiars #80 Professional Speed Glaze is a gentle car polish that removes swirl marks & paint oxidation. Use Meguiars #80 Speed Glaze with your


And a light polishing pad.

I use Meg's #80 or #9 about once every two months or so. But will probably be switching to FPII.

Yes! a swirl remover, if you have a buffer with the correct pad?? go for it, then polish by buffer and hand wax or seal, better than by hand with SCATCH X, how bad is the car??
