what is the proper way of using meguiras scratchX?
i bought this to get rid of my swirlies but it doesnt work that well.
any advice or tips?

 

i believe that scratchx only fills in scratch
just follow the directions on the tube, if it doesnt get out the scratchs
they are prolly too deep for that
someone please correct me if im wrong, but i think thats it

 

anyone else got a technique i should use? i followed the instructions on the bottle and only a few swirl marks went away ...

 

anyone please?
what is the proper way of using ScratchX? any techniques? tips please?

 

try www.autopia.org

It's a website dedicated to detailing. They have a very extensive library of articles on how to deal with scratches and swirl marks.

I don't know if they cover scratch x directly and how best to use it.

hey lonely raven, thanks for the link. i read it and it said to put more layers. ill go try it the next time i wash my cars and make sure i put about 3 layers or sctachX.
thanks dude

 

ScratchX is only effective on very light clear-coat scratches.
I found that if scratch is little deeper, you need to use alot of ScratchX .
But ScratchX will only make scratches only less noticeable. It will not eliminate scratches unless they are light clear-coat scratches.
ScratchX will not eliminate deep scratches beyond the clear-coat.

 

Hopefully you don't have scratches beyond the clear coat!!
