redwhiteandblue · 05-23-2005, 09:50 AM

honestly....i have a black truck and i used 3m swirl remover for my truck and it did awesome, but a week later i found some eagle one wet polish and wax in my garage, and i tried it and i was amazed, it actually filled in a scratch on my tailgate. the bottle of this stuff said it removes scratches and it sure as hell did. my dad has tried scratch x but he said he didnt have any luck.

we just painted my dads firebird and it had alot of orange peel, so we had to buff it out. he bought a deep cut compound and a finishing glaze and it left it a little cloudy and had a ton of little scratches in it. Scratch x took out the cloudyness and most of the small swirls and left the paint beautiful. But if your looking for something to take out a shopping cart scratch or something, i'de look elseware. Scratch X is only supposed to remove swirl marks and oxidization. but it made the firebird shiny

I use megs scratchx once in a while and it works great. I found I get the best results with a foam pad vs. a cotton or MF applicator and it takes a good firm rubbing but it works.

Werd. I have a small tube and find it great use on small problem areas that arise. I've only used a foam pad with it so I can't comment on cotton or MF but foam pad does the job well.

i used it on my black truck, testing it in the bed first, large-small scratches were unaffected.

tried it on my current black truck as well, no such luck at all. i think car wax works better. i also used a mf and cotton cloths

i use zaino. it works awsome. although my truck paint is shit, it made my faded black come back a lil, now i dont use it anymore cause that shit is like 100$ but after i get a new paintjob i will def erturn to zaino

Zaino and ScratchX are totally different, the Z5 will fill and hide scratches, actually more swirls than scratches where the scratchX is designed to remove the scratch.
