Meguiar's ScratchX Car Paint Scratch Remover, 207ml – New Formula with Micro-...

First of all, be aware that this is neither a polish or a compound. This is super fine grade micro-abrasive that stands in between a compound. I have been using it for polishing the car from scratches, to restore headlights and to finally restore a new clear coat. For the best result, and safe time and effort, get yourself a polishing sponge kit for drill (mine is the 5" for 15 pounds and it totally worth that money). 1st job: after I "super cleaned" my car (no-touch wash, touch wash, clay bar, and another touch was) I wanted to try it and I literally went through the entire car. The result was quite spectacular, no more swirls and minor scratches were gone! Careful, scratches that you can catch your finger nail in are impossible to remove without wet sanding. 2nd job: the headlight were quite opaque and I wanted to try the "scratch remover" without wet sanding. I could not believe the result, it was amazing! (see pictures). The headlight seemed almost new with so little effort, again thanks to the polishing sponge for drill. 3rd job: I restored the second headlight but I wanted to sand it down first, then applied a lacquer to protect the plastic and wet sand it with a 2000. When dry I used the product with the drill and everything super shiny again. 4th job: I restored a couple of dents on the car, painted and applied a clear coat (or lacquer). The final result was not brilliant so I wet sanded with a 3000 and then a 5000. The paint was obviously opaque so I applied the product and BOOM, again shining like new paint. 5th job: I found a nasty scratch that "scrack remover" could not deal with (I could feel the scratch with my nail). I carefully wet sanded with 5000 until it disappeared and then used the magic liquid to make the clear coat shining again. After this 4 jobs (and using the product on the whole Golf, as it was in a quite bad state) I still have 1/4 of product left, which means that I have plenty for many more isolated works for the future. Finally, I have to say that I am NOT a professional. It was actually my first time using this kind of product and I bought it thanks to a YouTube recommendation (KrisFix).

I baught this scratch remover to tidy up a few light scratches on our car, and it worked better than i expected. Its easy to apply. The lighter surface scratches blended in nicely and became less noticable after two uses. It also gave the paint a cleaner, shinier look overal. Deeper scratches didn't disappear completely which is normal but they still looked less obvious than before. A handy scratch remover for light marks and everyday scuffs.

My original review (after 2 days): ================================= We recently found a 5mm-wide shallow scratch along the entire length of our 2 year old metallic black Vauxhall Zafira. It was not particularly deep, so I assumed that it was not a deliberate 'keying' scratch, but I can only guess it was from rubbing next to a bush/twig/branch at some point. Anyway, searching the internet there seem to be lots of different products, all of which seem to have variable reviews and seem to be good at some types of scratches but not all. Well I cannot promise you that it will work on *your* scratch/car/paint but I can say that on *my* metallic black Vauxhall paint it worked *brilliantly*. The scratch was easy to see in any light, at any angle. Now you have to really catch the angle correctly and look very hard to see the original scratch. Sure, it does not make the paintwork perfect (showroom condition) but you certainly have to look hard to find the scratches afterwards. I also tried it on a number of much smaller/thinner (but *deeper*?) "cracks" (not scratches) but I have to say that I could not really see any improvement afterwards. To be fair, these cracks were almost invisible beforehand (I just tried the product as an experiment). So in summary, it won't help with *all* scratches, but for the wide/shallow one that I had it worked an absolute treat, and I'm delighted! Hopefully others have a good experience too if they choose to give it a go. 10 days later: ============== Hmmm, well I have to update my review because I need to warn people about the long-term effect that I noticed yesterday. In certain lights, and certain angles, the area which was buffed now has a very slight 'smeared' finish to the paintwork. It's not terrible, but it certainly can be seen in certain lights/angles. Having said this, my bad scratch still looks MUCH better, but I need to warn you that it does not leave the paintwork perfect. My advice is: * Only use this product on medium scratches ** Don't use on light scratches which you can hardly see, because the after-effect of the smear is probably worse than the light scratch ** Don't use on deep scratches/cracks, because the product won't work and the after-effect of the smear will be noticeable from some angles * Try to use the product sparingly ** Only treat the scratch itself - try to apply thinly, and buff it in in a thin strip (don't make the strip too wide, or you'll possibly end up drawing more attention to the repair than the original scratch! Good luck, whatever you choose to do...

Not the best scratch remover I've used. Takes some real elbow grease to work out scuffs, removed some paint abrasion from a white car and some bird lime markings ok but general scuffs still visible even after a couple of goes over. Good on plastic headights to help bring back to life a little but I'd look elsewhere for scratch removal.

I got this as I had a large scuff/rub on the rear bumper of my Kia. The bumper is PIANO BLACK HIGH GLOSS PLASTIC which is now fitted on most new cars inside & outside. The bumper also had a deep scratch, but this was not too visible and I wasnt too concerned about that, but the scuff/rub was very wide and easily seen at all angles. I cleaned & dried the bumper and used a very small amount by putting dots to a foam polisher pad on a drilling machine. It cleared the scuff after one minute going back & forward, then cleaned with microfible cloth. I didnt try doing it by using a cloth by hand, but think this might work if scuffs are light, obviously this could be tried first before buying drill polishing pads & attachments. Basically, I am very happy with the final result, yes as I expected, the deep scratch was still there as this would need a specialist repair, but the scuff repair is excellent. As only a small amount was used, I expect to use this for long time to come for general cleaning, polishing & small scuffs/swirls removal. See pictures before & after attached to get idea of difference. Great Stuff 😃

Dont buy this...its useless. Dont work on even the smallest blemish

Reassuring the expensive but does the job and leaves a very good Sheen after application and buff

Good product

I used this on scratches on silver duco, really didn’t notice mush of a difference however living near the ocean all my chrome furniture has a rusted appearance. I’m going to sit in a good light and see if it works on the chrome legs of coffee and dining tables.

Ive been using it for a while and its been pretty good, removes fine scratches and swirls good, just dont press too hard on the applicator pad because it can get paint off, i noticed red on my pad. Other than that it's good.

very good product

Hält was es verspricht! Habe Vorgang 2 mal wiederholen müssen,hat aber tatsächlich die Kratzer entfernt.

Il prodotto mantiene esattamente ciò che promette: è eccellente per il tocco finale e per rimuovere i micro-graffi. L'ho usato con risultati perfetti sia sulle plastiche che su un mio accendino smaltato. Un grande punto a favore è l'odore: ha un profumo gradevole e non ha quel pesante odore di chimico tipico di altri prodotti simili. Consigliatissimo!
