scratch x 2.0

Has anyone actually had success with this stuff? I have all types of scratches ranging from very small(not deep) to large. I used this stuff today and it did absolutely nothing to any of them! What are my options now? Any other stuff out there thats better or should I get it professionally done? How much would that cost? I only have about 3 scratches that I really want gone. The others are hardly noticeable. I'm sure this has been brought up 2 million times but when I searched I found all kinds of crap that didn't apply. Thanks in advance!

Scratch x 2.0 works great

How long did you work it in? I can you feel the scratch with your nail?

I worked the same spot for a good 20 min. And some of the scratches I can feel and some I can't. Do you have a tip? I watched videos and did what they did but its not doing a dam thing for me

I really do not have that much experience with working by hand. There is only so correction you can get by hand, maybe the scratch you have is too deep to be worked by hand.

Are you applying some pressure? Also if you apply too much product it can be counter productive.

Any pics of the scratch or what you are trying to fix with good light?

No pics right now but I'll post some tomorrow. I can understand if one of them is too deep but some of them are so light I can barely see them. I mean, there's really no use for the stuff if it can't fix atleast one of them! I feel like sun tan lotion would do the same thing!

Lol, what are you using to "buff" ? You can also try Ultimate Compound which will bite better. Scratch X 2.0 is for light defects. UC is might be what you need.

Also check this out http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums...imate-Compound

Should help you a bit, and show you what UC can take out. Read post #4

Well, I don't have an electric buffer. I use my hand and a good cloth. It just doesn't work. I'm doing the same thing I've seen in many videos on YouTube. I'm just going to get a professional. This stuff is crap!

I only use this stuff for under the door handles. Works great, but I never tried using it on isolated scratches.

Here you go. Some are hard to see bc they are not deep at all.

ScratchX works fine for me. Great at removing waterspots too. It took me an hour but I removed all the waterspots on my hood with scratchX.

As far as that little mark on your trunk, scratchx should removed that with no problem.

Try using a cotton rag instead of a MF towel.

I tried that too. I mean it seriously does nothing. It doesn't even conceal it slightly.

Use a bunch on a cotton towel, and apply some pressure in a circular motion, back in forth, top to bottom, left to right..

Do it for a a minute or so. If that doesn't work, then I don't know.
