Talking Just used scratch x for first time

I just washed my car and used meguires scratch x and then the nxt tech wax. It does a good job of hiding the scratches but I need to get the car detailed to get rid of them. Just sharing some pics.

looks good! When you were done with the detail any surface scratches or swirls still visible?

it took me about an hour to apply and wipe off the scratch x and then about another hour and a half to wax the car and wheels. Very tired afterward.

if it only took you an hour to apply and remove the scratch-x, then you didn't do it correctly. You need to apply to a small section usually 1'x1' and work it in until it breaks down. This should take ~5-10 mins per section, and likely it will require multiple applications

I did it one section at a time, is scratch x more for small scratches?
My arm felt like it was going to fall off when I was finished...I don't usually put that much time into washing my car but if i did it wrong then i definately want to do it again.

Appreciate the info
