Bought some of this stuff today, and have to say I found it to be pretty damn good.

Whether it filled my swirls or removed them, I don't know and don't care, because my paint looks very deep after using it. Anyone else used it and found the same as myself?

Scooby!
 
No befores, but this is after Scratch X 2.0 without any wax or anything.

Looking good. :cool:

What does this stuff cost?. Is it a T-Cut type compound?.

Cost about £9 I think from Halfords on their 3 for 2 offer. It's a cutting compound I believe. I washed, clayed, washed again, scratch x'd, and then waxed to protect it.

In this heat and direct sunlight... YES!! Best find some shade to do it.
 
Thats done me then, cos im a lazy git.

Good job anyway, it looks lovely :)
 
Scratch X is really good stuff for cutting minor swirl marks and hologramming, unfortunately it is nigh on useless on harder paints such as VAG paintwork.

Needs some effort to work in I believe, plus did you use Scratch X or Scratch X 2.0? 2.0 or a more abrasive solution so will 'work' better.

Need to pick some up and give it a go, got some of the original stuff and it was ok.

Was reading something last night on how you should apply it, something to do with it braking down as you work it in.
 
Result looks good, definitely need to get me some.

Also a question I raised a while ago. Is there much difference between Swirl & Scratch X?
 
Scratch/Swirl X are both mild abrasives, the majority of the paint correction is actually done using fillers - so be sure to seal (with a wax or something).

You need to REALLY work the product into the paint work. Like Autoglym SRP, it starts off with large particles that degrade into finer and finer ones, getting into caps and scratches of every size.

The mild abrasives in the product are only enough to smooth out the ridges of a scratch or swirl, making it less effective at harshly reflecting light.

So it is good, but certainly no long term solution.

Autoglym SRP is better and cheaper, especially for doing anything more than a small area.
