5.0 out of 5 stars The >best< scratch concealer on the market., May 7, 2009

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does a great job, but needs better instructions, September 17, 2007

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worked Good on my Keyed Car, October 6, 2008

By 

John (Elk Grove, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Meguiar's G10307 Scratch X 2.0 (Automotive)

Unfortunately had my car keyed deep with a curse word. Some of the letters were too deep to get out, but ScratchX did manage to remove some of parts of the lettering so that the word is not legible.

ScratchX WORKS great to remove light scratches on the paint, but on some of the deeper scratches it just did okay. So if you have light scraps on the side of the doors ScatchX will get those out, but if you have deep scraps like deep keyed car scraps then don't expect that to disappear. Overall for the cost of the product at $7-10 dollars at your local autostores this is one of the best Scratch "removers" to use. It's effective and easy to use. Remember ScratchX isn't a miracle cure, but it's darn close to it.

TIPS: Apply and remove several coats to clear out the scratches. Some elbow grease will go along way to helping get those scratches more blended.
