    Re: QD + Scratchx = Paint Discoloration

    Hey guys,

    Sorry for the late reply, so I used swirlx with a new foam applicator and was able to gently remove the light stain.. Thank god!! Must have been something on my hands or the appliicator that caused the stain.

    Is it ok not to wax after using the scratchx/swirlx?? I skipped waxing out of fear that I might f*** it up again. Does scratchx/swirlx take all the wax off when applied?

    Sounds good.

    Yeah, SwirlX / ScratchX would remove all wax.

    Just make sure you have everything washed, and should be ok.

    Maybe let the pads soak a while in Dawn or something, then rinse out, and towels washed. Then should be ok to wax ,and whatnot in the future.

    Will it ruin the paint/clear coat if I skip waxing the area that I used scratchx?

    No. But it will be "unprotected" though.
