My thoughts on Meguiars Scratch X, Gold Class leather conditioner and cloths
Well I've had a few scratches on my car since ive owned it for 8 months and recently came across Scratch X. Decided to try some out today after a manual wash with Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash.
Since I live in a Muslim country my ale of choice today was Timbalands latest cd lol! Anyways using Scratch X on a 100% terry cloth towel is the ideal choice. The towel is light and allows you to really rub in the scratch x and burns your *** in the process. This application is really hard work and thats what you really need to remove the scratched. I rubbed it over and over with enough intensity to shake my car
In the end all 5 scratches and color spots were gone. I ended up waxing with Meguiars Classic Carnauba Wax in the end with a 100% terry towel.
I have to mention the leather conditioner because today is the first time i applied it with a terry cloth (used a regular tshirt before) and the results were amazing. The cloth really lets you work in the conditioner and leaves a shiny finish (wipe off the residue with a clean terry cloth).
I didn't take pics yet because i will be applying the meguiars 3 step classic deep crystal system next week.
Cliff notes: Rub the scratch x in hard enough that you shake your car - the only way to get the most of this product. Use a 100% terry cloth when applying products also!

I actually tried that but microfiber soaked up the Scratch X faster. I used the MF towel in the end to wax the car. On the other hand, the terry towel dont soak up the scratch x but rather lets your work the product into the car.
thats wut i was doing wrong then.....I tried scratch x before a zaino job w/ a microfiber towel and that thing did nothing. So i threw the towel and scratch x in the garbage since i was pissed. Meguiars should put some type of label/warning saying rub into car as if you were trying to make a dent for best use.....or something along those lines.
i agree, it takes some strength to get the ScratchX to properly do its job, i used a hand applicator with the White cutting pad, i purchased from Detailedimage.com, i was disappointed to see that it doesnt work well with noticeable scratches but does a good job on light swirls.
