Exclamation Meguiars Scratch X

The video by mcmmotorsports prompted me to go out and buy some Scratch X to, hopefully, repair several scratches on the hood of the car. The scratches were fairly deep... possibly keyed? Not sure. The results were great- most of the scratches are no longer visible, the ones that remain are very light.

Thanks for the testimonial. I had my car keyed last year and thought I was going to **** a brick. I couldn't find anything that I knew was going to work outside of just getting my car painted. I'll definatly be buying some of this stuff in the near future. The passenger door has 4 scratches by the handle and the spoiler has a few scratches on it (not from the keying).

JUST DON'T FORGET MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS FOR DEEP SCRATCHES AND IT MAY OR MAY NOT COMPLETELY REMOVE THEM. Stuff is amazing though.

Holy ****! That stuff is awesome. I definatly need to get some and try it out! I guess that would be the ultimate test to see how it works on black!

I just got back from Autozone. 17 bucks for a bottle of Scratch-X, 3 pack of microfiber towels, and a 8 pack of applicator pads. A whole lot cheaper than what I was expectin' when I first saw the scratches on my car.

Tried it on mine, didn't work as good. We know that the black shows it all

I actually did it on our black durango last night. It, again, worked great for me. The durango had gotten scratched by tree branches and bushes while offroading... so it was pretty bad. It looks great now... though it DID take a little more work on the black.

Multiple applications is the key.

I tried multiple applications, but the sun was out. Might be better trying in the AM or later in evening

This stuff is the ****. I just put a couple coats on a minor set of scratches on my front bumper and they have almost completely disappeared. Someone swipped the corner of my front bumper in a parking lot and left a set of small scratches down the bumper, but I spent about a half hour and did a good 3 coats and you can't even tell there was anything there unless you're face is about 8" away from the bumper. I recommend this to anyone with similar scratches. I tried it on some chips on the hood from rocks on the road and it didn't work quite as well but I did see slight improvement. I plan on working on those rock chips a little more and hoping that they'll get better with more coats.
