Removing scratches

[mudryder18]

What is the best product on the market, or is there one, at removing scratches without getting a buffer and doing it?

Ive used Megs Scratch X for a couple years now and i like it.

With Getting a buffer? or W/O getting a buffer?

I prefer Norton Liquid Ice as far as compounds go, Have always viewed Meguiars as overpriced and merely adequate, nothing amazing. THe Norton will be found at your local paint store, and runs from $29-$45 a quart, depending on their mark up

I started to play around with a porter cable 7424xp and different pads/compounds last summer and had some good results...we had a member "detailedimage" that sold everything you needed... haven't seen them in a bit... one of Solisimo's connections

I love the product I use. I use 3M Perfect It III (Stage 2). It works great on the paint. The other thing I like about it is that it also works on the chrome, polished aluminum, and even the glass. There isn't much on the truck that this stuff will not polish to a great shine. 0000 steel wool and this stuff on the glass is magic. YES 0000 STEEL WOOL!!!!!!!

The down side to the product is 1) finding it (normally only found at stores that specialize in automotive paint) as this is a professional level product, and 2) the cost, which is about $50 for a quart bottle. But, it is money well spent, trust me.

Meguiars cleaner wax does pretty good on (light scratching and rubs) on the paint.

Bought some of this the other day. Waiting for the weather to heat up before giving it a try.

Meguiars ScratchX is pretty much the best off the shelf scratch remover you can buy. Its worked great on the scratches ive used it on. Generally though, if you can feel the scratch is into the clear you can not rub it out. Hell, sometimes you can't even buff them out. I always try though…

"NuFinish" isn't bad either, but the Meguiars stuff is better.

Agreed this stuff is awsome! I have used it many times and everyone is always impressed ( Just havn't had time to do the Expy yet ). I have never used it with a "buffer" but have found that a corded varible speed drill with a "foam" buffing pad works wonders.

I have also found that it is available thru my local Oreillys Auto parts but it is not available at all of them, only the ones that offer comercial paint products.
