Meguiars Scratch X it's good BUT.... (How to remove Scratches by hand)

Absolute 🗑 🚮 only takes the notice out of it

Driving too close to a hedgerow could have caused the scratches on the rear pillar.

What happens after a few washes?

Can I use a towel to put scratch x cream on it

I've used this a while ago on a red Nissan. It looked OK at first but as soon as you wash the car again the fine scratches reappear.

Thanks mate. You mentioned an "all in 1" product could work better, but could you give an example of a good one then? I have no idea where to start with that

I used it and it looked more or less fine BUT after 20 days going to my local carwash, the scratches were again visible as before. So, my conclusion it is the wax that's hiding the scratches. I'm wondering when people post a review whether they did it right after applying this product or wait until the car was washed after a period of time and evaluate again.

Ama-zin

Can use it with micro fiber only? Or must with application pad?

I've used Scratch X for years. If used in the correct way and on the right kind of scratch/mark it is an excellent product.

Yes they are paying the review supermen for their products reviews. In Amazon world we call them “Genies”. They are definitely doing something right 😂😂

I have haze marks after using I. Could it be because I didn't do it enough

save your money and get good old T CUT

It's just a luster. It has no polishing compound.

Wondering if you can help? I washed my daughter’s black Corsa the other day then used a machine polisher on speed 3 to use McGuires Swirl Remover. The results were initially good however now in certain sunlight conditions there are lines glinting from the polishing machine. Should I polish to remove these lines? These lines aren’t visible most of the time just certain light. Thanks.

"That sounds like something I said to my wife the other night"

Duuuude ain't no way you slipped that in there like that 😂😂

If you can feel the scratch with your nail it ain’t coming out
Only improve it

Just used it on 2 month old promaster black. Scratches were from a thin tree branch barely going down the side....it put like sand paper swirl scratches all the way down that I used it

Good video 👍

It works. To an extent.

Thanks so much ✔️✌️

Prefer turtle wax products. ., especially all there new stuff … better than maguires

can I use this product to remove scratches from the plastic of the doors?

Any good for removing light scratches for piano black interiors?

Meguiars Ultimate Compound is my go to. Stuff it great.

“That’s something I said to my wife last night” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you can feel the scratch with your finger it won’t work. It’s too deep . It works for light scratches and when things brush against your car.

Really appreciate your thoroughness and honesty in presenting this video review, however, I wonder if plain old rubbing compound might work just as well. Btw- Dave my guess in respect to slight "halo" or discoloration you noted especially when polishing the rear side quarter panel, this could be because the product is "eating into" the clear coat which is used on all car paints from 2001 to date. If my guess is correct (and I don't know for certain it is) but if it is, this product and your "elbow grease" could be doing more harm than good. In any event, the product is way over rated and NOTHING short of professional body work (probably sanding and re-painting) would restore deep scratches in a car's paint finish. Thanks mate.

I've got some of this stuff but never use it as it's junk. Pretty much all other products and compounds work better. Waste of money and I'm usually a fan of Maguires products.

Love your videos, great jaunty manner.

One thing I will say if you have had your car ceramic coated it's virtually impossible to remove even light scratches as the coating is very resistant to products like this so be warned.

So, what's the difference between this and the Meguiar's Ultimate Compound? I'm not a detailer or a car paint obsessive, just a guy who likes his car to look nice. I lived in London for nearly 30 years and didn't need a car, so having moved back home (rural) I now have a car again and want to keep it looking good 🙂

Hi DAVE I ASK YOU !! Have you experienced using carbon collective exfoliation block the videos I found I do not think they know what they were going cheers Brian another top video from you thanks

Thank you for the lovely content as always :) Do you think this could be used to remove micro scratches from piano black trims?

Once again another fantastic and informative video Dave

It’s like you said good for very fine stuff ,but anything else you need something with more cut,I’ve tryed it on a few cars and found it had no real advantage

Thats the old version and been out for years and its one of their poorest products and they also even did a newer version called scratch x 2.0

What guitar is in the case?

So, it's a modern day T-Cut then?

Hi, I watch your channel and a good few other detailing channels with great interest and appreciation. Yet, none of you have addressed the current elephant in the room. We at southeastern water have a hose pipe ban, " discuss" pre rinse, snow foam, and everything else Not Allowed! Whaddya do?

Sounds like a turntablism competition. I bought something similar for my bro's wife who had driven down a hedge and done a double key-like scratch every panel. I realised it was just a firm cutting compound of which I could have used anything i own already to do it and rsults in my application were never going to fix it, just make it less noticable by blending up to it. I mean it worked to a point but it took ages and many passes not to mention it was hard work. This is def for people without a polisher and left a haze like you showed. Worked better by applying with a small-folded interior microfibre cloth (like your grey wipe-off one, rather than a sponge as that gave it a bit more bite. Oh, and poor Aquaman!

Good content, Dave. I reckon you could chuck a sealant over that and give the polymers and fillers a longer life 🤔. All the best 👍.

At the risk of being sent to detailing hell.
Sponge a little fairy soap and water over the finished scratch removed panel, dry and look at it again.
See whats left with no fillers or wax left hiding your handy work.

Hi , does it have fillers

Dave thank you again from across the pond and for making a great video. You are helping detailer's in our business who doesn't have a massive budget to buy expensive products. It is helpful for removing light and fine scratches. I also liked the Clare Balding picture and the Aquaman it's harmful to him too. Have a great day and thank you again!

It’s a great product, used it over 10 years ago, obviously the Porsche and BMW driving Detailing Snobs won’t want to be caught using it.
