Guest Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I tried Kit Scratch Out and didn't like it either. I had a little tub of Turtle Wax polishing compound laying around and gave it a try and like it a lot better. Still have to wax afterwards,but it removed those final micro scratches much better.

71drolds Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 i dont have a problem with scratches so much as im just not happy with the shine. ive heard of people using the same stuff and getting good results, but i just cant get the same. ive never tried anything after the scratch x. maybe i need to explore that.

Tonioseven Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Have you guys tried polishing kits before you use the Meguiars? I use the micro-Mesh polishing kits then use Meguiars #7 and here's what it usually looks like... Your preparation methods as well as a few other factors also have a lot to do with the final outcome.

crazyjim Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I've been using Novus #2 to rub out the paint after sanding. Last night I bought a bottle of Scratch X to try out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I use and like Novus 2 followed with Novus 1 or a good wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKcustoms Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 After sanding I polish the paint with 3M rubbing compound and then go over it with scratch X as a final polish and I always get great results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportandmiah Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 If you are getting bad.results with scratch-x, then you are not.doing it.correctly. make sure you are wet standing with at least 6000 grit 12000 if u have it...THEN use scratch-x. It produces flawless results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
