I decided to order this product base on the reviews i read also did some extra study on similar products. This is probably my best bet for it's price.

I have rather deep key mark (show primer) and a few fine scratch on my new blue car. As it said on the directions if you have deep scratch you need to get the match paint for it. so we went over to Wal mart and get one of those 5 dollar repair paint that come with a small brush and ball pen in same bottle (they come in several known brand and color such as TOYOTA , FORD, GM, etc;) I also saw the same products at Kregen too.

First i wipe clean the surface with wet cloth and then very lightly wet sand to smooth it up with the sand paper provided it in the kit then wipe clean, The sand paper is 3000 grid which is very fine and did a good job for it's purpose. I like it much better than the 2000 grid one they sell at automotive store. Only if they give you more than just a few strips i will be alot happier.

Then I use the brush side to paint on the bigger scratch area and use the ball pen for finer line. Let dry for few hours. And to make sure i really fill those scratch well I re apply the paint and let dry.

After the paint completely dry use wet sand to very gently sand the excess paint off ( this part scared me the most because they said it very clear not to expose the primer, So take your time and be very gentle). When you are done with sanding the scratch should feel very smooth to the touch. It still look very visible but after i use cream no. 1 (buff hard) it look better so i decided to do it again twice. After 3 applications of cream no.1 and finished it with cream no.2 the scratch almost disappear. I still can see it a little but i know where to look for it. It does not take away the scratch completely but did improve and lighten alot. I think it's reasonable enough for it's price. If they sell this for 100 dollar then i will expect much better result.

As for fine scratch i have to admit that it works like magic. All i need to do is clean the surface, apply cream no.1 and make sure to let it sit then buff buff buff hard! , Cream no.2 give it super glossy shine. The scratch are completely gone. I was very happy with the result.

Like everyone else, I bought Quixx Scratch Remover after reading the reviews on Amazon, other sites and watching the videos online.

I am the type of person who follows the directions when given something new so I tried Quixx according to the directions on a 3 inch key scratch. I have metallic paint and the scratch looked white, definitely visible, before treatment. I applied Quixx and began rubbing it in to the scratch mark. After one minute I was very disappointed, it didn't look like anything was happening. I kept rubbing, hoping for the best, when all of a sudden the scratch began to disappear. I kept rubbing and finally it disappeared. I was amazed, I couldn't even see where the scratch was. This happened on my passenger door.

After this, I proceeded to a near identical scratch on the same side of the car just over the wheel well. Highly visible white scratch I could feel with my fingernail, just like the previous one. I followed the exact same directions and method I had just used. I rubbed, and rubbed, and rubbed. Nothing. Only slightly less prominent than before, but it did not vanish like the other one. I simply don't understand it.

This happened again on my hood. I had some scratches that were completely removed when I treated the hood and others that remained unaffected, even in areas where it was apparent that scratches were from the same source in the same area (tree branch or something). It's like half of the scratches took it and the others didn't. I did have some matted areas on my hood and Quixx fixed those spots just fine.

So, I will try Quixx again today on other parts of my car to see if I get similar results.

In spite of the inconsistent results, I am happy with the purchase. Just eliminating that one key mark on my door was worth the $14-15, not to mention the other scratches that were removed and/or lessened.

My first and only, thus far, fix was on my BMW wagon. It was scratched by a careless person operating a grocery cart where I was shopping.
Following the instructions that came with this product, the scratch was removed in its entirety.

This product works as advertised and exceeded my expectations. I used Quixx to remove scratches on the front fender of a Harley-Davidson Road King Classic. The fender's color was Vivid Black. For non-motorcycle people, the Harley fenders are painted sheet metal just like your car and cost nearly $500 to replace. Fixing and painting yourself is not an option unless you work in a paint shop.

I had just replaced a dented and scratched fender with a brand new fender from the factory and you guessed it...I scratched the new fender during installation.

Using Quixx I worked real slow and deliberate following the instructions to the letter. First used Polish 1 then Finish 2. It took 3 passes with Polish 1 then Finish 2 to remove the scratches and I gained confidence with applying elbow grease pressure with each pass. Each pass received greater pressure until I achieved the results I was expecting. I have to use a magnifying glass under direct sunlight to find where the scratches used to be...and this is on black paint with clear coat. (Scratches on black paint are the most difficult to make disappear.)

Ignore the reviews where people rated this product 3, 2, or 1 stars. Their low ratings are a disconnect in their expectation of how this product should perform or their perception of the severity of their scratch. They have perceived they have a "light scratch" but in reality they have a pretty deep gouge that probably needs to be sanded an painted.

Quixx has a web site that describes the types and depths of scratches you can treat, how to use their product, and what to expect as results. Their flash demos and video on using the product are very informative. The graphics on scratch geometry through clear coat, paint, primer, and down to metal will help you understand what is fixable and what may not be fixable with their product.

The scratches I repaired apparently were limited to the clear coat layer of paint so I was very fortunate and achieved stellar results. If your scratch reaches the paint layer you will probably get good results. If the scratch is deep to the primer layer then you will most likely need a different and more expensive solution. Think about it....your paint is yellow and your primer is red. This product will not make the red primer turn yellow to repair your scratch if the scratch is all the way to the primer.

I highly recommend this product for minor scratch repair or reducing the ugliness of more severe scratches.

Last week I bought a lovely, lo-mileage 2006 Mercury Mountaineer. During the test drive, however, I observed many pencil thin and razor scratches on the left side extending along the driver's door to the front left fender. They were ugly cosmetic marks extending over an area of about 8 feet in length, patchy, scratchy, annoying marks, and I almost didn't buy the vehicle. But in the end I did because it worked great and was exceptional value.

However, I was still bothered by the scratches. I started to research scratch removal and within a few days I'd covered a lot of the scratch market products. Then I stumbled on QUIXX acrylic remover at a local chain auto store which piqued my curiosity. But before I even used it, I researched further and found the QUIXX paint scratch remover. This looked remarkable and I wasn't sure if I really believed it and the company's talk about "plastic deformation" technology. But I bought that too despite its relatively hefty price tag of about $17.

As I write this review, I have applied the QUIXX paint scratch remover with great success. Yesterday, I rolled up my sleeves and went to work in my usual dedicated amateur fashion. I've never restored anything, least of all paintwork on a vehicle, but I take much care of my vehicles and I am persistent and careful in general. I applied the QUIXX exactly as instructed. After 7-10 minutes, I was done and stood back. And I was disappointed as heck! Those scratches remained as visible and prominent as ever. What kind of joke product was this, I asked myself?

I nearly gave up right then and there. But then it occurred to me that since these were mostly real scratches that I owned, i.e., they were NOT paint scratched from somebody else's vehicle as I had initially suspected, maybe I should re-apply the stuff and work it through once again. I'd read about folks using compound removers and polishers repeatedly over a single area who had great success. So I started over.

I repeated the procedure and stood back again after another 7-10 minutes. I wasn't sure if I detected a difference but somehow the scratches appeared to be thinner. They were still visible and as long as ever but they were now less "angry" and less evident, just slightly so.

I went through 4 more re-application cycles over the next one hour and when I was finished, blow me down if the entire side of the vehicle didn't look nearly brand new. At this stage, the scratches are 90% gone on the driver's door and about 75% gone on the front left fender. And I mean "gone" as in disappeared--pretty much vanished.

There were some scratches (there were probably 6-8 scratches or scratch areas I worked on in total) that did in fact disappear as I rubbed them for the very first time. You could actually see the mineral gray clearcoat finish "bleed" into the scratches as I wiped over again and again and again, just as instructed. This deformation technology was working before my very eyes as I applied the stuff. I was impressed, indeed, fairly amazed.

No heavy rubbing with heavy abrasive compounds. This was repeated rubbing with a bit of effort and focus, rubbing and rubbing and rubbing systematically, but not with heavy duty muscle power. I was using the vehicle's own existing paint to re-finish the scratched areas.

I shall re-inspect the SUV later today and re-apply as required. But I am satisfied that this has already saved me hundreds of dollars, if not more, in professional touch-up and refinishing work. I bet I would have been quoted for re-spraying the door and fender. So the product has paid for itself many times over even by now. I am sold on the product and very pleased.

I ordered this stuff through an Amazon affiliate and I am amazed. From both having a door ding from some careless putz and a scratch from a runaway shopping cart- I couldn't be more happy. Effortless. I followed the directions (a little bit goes a long way) and the scratches (the door ding went through several layers) went to as good as new. A definite 5/5.

I wish I had taken a before and after picture of the job Quixx did on a deep scratch on my vehicle.

I bought Quixx after someone "keyed" my recently purchased Jeep Liberty. I was certain I would have to live with the obvious eyesore, but went online and found Quixx and the product reviews.

The effectiveness of Quixx is great. I am no handyman, so I needed something that didn't involve lots of complicated instructions. I used the two tubes of the product as instructed--repeated the process a second time using the wettened sandpaper (rubbing very lightly as written) and watched the deep scratch disappear. Full disclosure: if you get down on your hands and knees and look hard, you can eventually find the rekains of the scratch, but WOW--if you had seen it before, you'd be as happy as I am.

Got a significant scratch on your rig that is driving you nuts? Buy this product. Consumer Reports recommends it, and so do I.

I had a 4 inches scratch on my hood of my brand new VW Passat. Although it was a very thin line it still could catch my nail. First I didn't want to use something abrasive on the new paint but trying to fill the scratch didn't work with oridinary waxes. I wanted to use something recommended by many users, and tested againts others, and found this test winner product.

Application was easy. You have to rub with polish for about 1-2 minutes, till you see the scratch is gone, then clean the surface and apply the wax. I used a terry cloth for rubbing. The scratch on my dark blue car was all gone in 5 minutes.

I also would like to try the polish sold in larger amounts for my dated car. You can feel that it is safe to use and still working.

I bought this scratch remover to take care of several scratches and scuff marks on my doors and fenders. The product has easy to follow instructions and gave me no problems. I was a little nervous about using the sandpaper, but after I was done the difference was amazing. This product works far better than any of those large industrial size scratch removers. It may be a small package but I couldn't be happier with the results.

Because of mixed reviews, I decided to give this product a try since its not too pricey and the scratches on my car bothered me a lot.

Make sure you know that this product does NOT work on scratches that expose the raw-paint i.e. scratch that has penetrated the coat-paint layer.
