This stuff is great! I went to Advance to try and get some 3M stuff but they didnt carry it, and I didnt feel like going to Pep Boys either, so I thought I'd try it. It works nice! It took out 2 of my scratches by hand and a little bit tougher one using the buffer. Now my new car is ready for another coat of Z2. I should have Post-Zaino pics of my new Fusion Orange Grand Am GT up in a few days! I cant wait to see this thing shine more than it already does!

 

How did you use the Scratch-X? Did you use dishsoap to get off all the polish before hand? What did you finish it up w/? I just purchased some Scratch-X a few days ago and am wondering how I should go about using it w/ the Zaino...Also did you use alcohol for the scratches at all?

 

My car was already clean, so I just took a little bit of rubbing alcohol to the scratches to make sure the Zaino was gone ( only had 1 coat on it). Then I rubbed some of the scratch-X over the area with an applicator pad for about 15-20 seconds, let it sit for a few seconds and then wiped the area down with a white bath towel. For the bigger scratch I followed the same procedure, except I used my buffer for about 30-40 seconds to make sure I got it. Followed everything up with some Z6 until I have a chance to put some Z2 on there later this week.

 

THe one thing I like about Scratch-X is, that you don't have to go back over the affected area with another finer polish as you do with some more abrasive products.

 

do you happen to have before and after pics? i'd like to know what size scratch you took out. maybe i'll give it a try

 

I dont have any pics, sorry. The big scratches I took out were probably 3-4 inches in length. It looks like someone with a purse or backpack or something brushed up against the side of my rear quarter panel. A quarter sized glob of Scratch-X on a lambs wool bonnet and about 30 seconds of buffing took them all out.

 

I used that crap before. Didn't do a damn thing
