Customer Reviews

Does a great job, but needs better instructions
I'm quite impressed at how good this product worked. I have a black car and some careless idiot slammed their white car door into mine, leaving a series of marks. I bought some Scratch X because it had gotten mainly good reviews and tried it. The label simply says to rub it on with a terry cloth, let dry, then buff away, if it were only that easy! For Scratch X to work you need to apply it to a soft cloth (I used an old tshirt) and rub AGAINST the scratch until it (the Scratch X, not the actual scratch!) disappears on the area. Apply more Scratch X and keep repeating this step until the scratch is nearly gone (it took me about 5 times). After that, turn the same cloth (in my case a tshirt) over and buff the residue away. I applied quite a bit of pressure to the area and as you could imagine my arm and wrist became quite tired by the time I was finished, but it was indeed worth it. I treated another scratch just behind my side view mirror and while applying more Scratch X to the cloth, I actually lost track as to where the scratch was, so I'm pleased with the overall results.

The >best< scratch concealer on the market.
Notice my title does not say "scratch remover"?
You cant "remove" what isnt there! A scratch is a void. I always had an issue with the term "scratch remover". (no such thing)

Im an amateur auto detailer. A hobbyist who loves cars. I must hear "you take good care of this car" at least 3 times per week.

I have been using Meguiars products for 2 decades and Scratch-X (1.0) is the best concealer created. YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

Scratch-X is NOT an abrasive polish. It is more of a glaze with very very fine polishing properties. Therefor it will not take off things like 'bird dropping stains' etc. Wrong product for that job.

Scratch-X is a "finesse product". And it will save your butt on almost ANY size scratch or blemish that isnt through the base coat of color.

The product "burnishes" the paint back into shape rather than rubbing it away - this is what makes it SOOOO good in the right hands.

Use a microfiber cloth, available along side the Scratch-X. Anything else will put more scratches in the finish then you are trying to remove.

Roll a corner of the microfiber cloth into a tiny ball. Create a little pad for yourself so you can apply pressure without hand cramping. Put a nickle size dallop on the center of your "pad".

Rub......rub gainst the scratch criss crossing the scratch line. DO NOT GO WITH THE DIRECTION OF THE SCRATCH.

When you feel the pad drying out, put more product on. Dont rub dry.

Hard pressure and elbow grease is only at first, lighten up your pressure when you see the scratch starting to disappear. Finesse.

For DEEP scratches it will be impossible to "level" the scratch or make it disappear. Instead, you will soften the hard edges and smooth it out so it is "invisible" from 3 feet away.

This is "minimizing" or "concealing" the scratch.

I have removed or concealed the most HEINOUS blemishes and cuts in fresh clearcoat.

Remember, FINESSE. If this is something you dont possess, seek professional assistance from a pro detailer.

This is a great, great product.

not overly impressed
I have used several types of similar products including GS27 and Quixx. The Meguiars Scratch X seemed to do an ok job in removing some very light surface scratches and some tough to scrub off contaminants but it seemed to take much more scrubbing and resulted in a less professional / complete finish than Quixx. After using Quixx I was extremely impressed with the results. Quixx is expensive the results cannot be matched by similar products. If Quixx does not get out the scratch you either need to do a polish with random orbital machine or touch up paint if it is a deep scratch. I would pass on ScratchX though.
