I used Scratch-X via DA a few years ago on silver Acura paint with LC orange pads (lower panels only, in place of compound). I didn’t want to use up my expensive compound and wasn’t sure how Scratch-X would do... but it did well and I was very surprised how well it finished for almost being compound aggressive. I wouldn’t hesitate using it with DA if you need something fairly aggressive.

So scratch x if used a lot will take off clear coat right ? Especially with da like porters?

Did it remove swirl marks? Wondering if i go with swirl x which is less aggressive and name seems to fit the bill.

What speed did you use? Im guessing like 3?

Scratch-X has abrasives and definitely removes clearcoat/swirls with a DA. Almost as good as Ultimate Compound I gather, but finished better, probably good enough with orange pads that I didn’t need to finish polish but I did anyways. That would not be the case with UC.

I used more like speed 4-5 as this was meant for moderate correction on lower panels. If you’re not dealing with moderate swirls, but rather only light swirls, try the Swirl-X.... but do so because of forum members’ recommendations or because of where it sits on the aggressiveness chart... don’t choose it for name/marketing.
