[sharpy24]

i did mean scratch x not scrath x lol

[hesslevtr]

i didnt think much to it either but a few people have said it worked for them

think it depends how deep the swirls are

[Hanuman]

Probs another case of more money and brighter boxes means bollock all!

[VTSKris]

does work but requires good technique. have you rubbed it in an up-down fashion as apposed to circular?

[sharpy24]

How to Safely Remove Fine Scratches from Your Car's Paint by Hand

Micro-fine, hairline scratches can often be removed by hand using a non-abrasive paint cleaner or swirl remover polish like Meguiar's ScratchX™. It safely and effectively removes below surface defects like fine scratches and bonded contaminants from paint surfaces, while enhancing the paint's gloss. Unlike many of today’s overly abrasive scratch removing formulas, will not leave more scratches than it removes. The product is ideal for solving isolated paint problems and can even be used to revive a vehicle’s entire paint finish. If it is possible to remove a blemish or scratch by hand, ScratchX is the perfect solution.

The most common below surface defects, many of which can be removed by hand are listed below:

Random, isolated scratches
Cobweb-effect
Buffer swirls
Oxidation
Pore imbedding stains
Chemical etching
Acid rain spots
Etching from bird droppings

ScratchX is not a wipe-on, wipe-off product like a wax; it's more of a wipe on, and gently work it into the finish product. You will need a clean, foam applicator pad to work the product into the finish and a good quality terry cloth towel

did you work it into the panel or did you wipe it on like a wax? you need an applicator pad, put a little on it and gently work it in using an up-down motion until most of the product is gone. then using a plush towel wipe off the residue and see if it has worked. it does take time though.

yep did exactly that, used a megs foam applicator to apply it and used a brand new terry towel to remove it

i used that on me black vts and worked wonders. it had loads of swirl marks of the last owner. have never had to reuse it again. i only used a tiny bit on each panel as its very strong stuff.

[kcsaxo]

may have to give it a go myself!

[davew]

It has a few fans, but in my opinion products like Menzerna Intensive Polish beat it hands down, even when used by hand. :)
