I am going to guess that you used M02, not ScratchX judging by the bottle and the avalabilty of products in Alberta.

I can now get almost all the Meg's product through a supplier in BC.

I basicly did this:
Washed the car.
Filled all the keyed areas with a color matched paint.
Wet sanded with a 1500 grit then 2000 grit paper. Mainly just to break down the filled in areas.
Poilish entire car with M02, then scratch-x using a rotory buffer and yellow foam pad,
going over some areas with M80 to remove the sanding marks.

Then Tech-Wax by hand. It worked for me.


Finally got a G100. Hope to use it soon!

Re: My truck got keyed!

My truck got keyed at work last night. The gouge goes from above my front tire all the way to past my back tire. All of it is deep enough to catch my fingernail. I can`t afford a repaint so I`m going to try using touchup paint to fill in the scratch. I know it wont look exactly right but this is a vehicle that I`m considering starting a mobile business with and I just need to make the parts where it goes all the way down to either metal or primer less obvious. They show white or metal and even a different shade of black wouldn`t show as much as that does. Any tips or ideas on how to get the touch up paint applied evenly? I`ve read somewhere that using a toothpick with very small amounts at a time works well but they were talking about a tiny rock chip not a 6ft scratch. I don`t have much money or supplies but plenty of time.

You may not have to spend a dime on repairing the scratch. Your car insurace may cover it if you have comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive would have been too expensive. I`m 16 and they tacked on an extra $100 because my truck was 4 wheel drive. It`s ridiculous for a 20 year old 4 cyclinder to be charged that but we couldn`t find a better deal. So I just have the minimum coverage.
