  • Help please!

    I've looked around a bit on scratch repair, and seems scratchX may be able to fix these following scratches.





    But I have a quick question, because there isn't much information I can locate on how to properly use scratchX by hand. I know you use a foam applicator pad for about 3-4 coats. Also the scratches are not deep by any means, they are completely smooth, I guess it was just dusty in my area and some jerk walked by w/ a backpack or something.

    But unsure of what people mean by apply w/ 'passion' Also is it recommended I use a clay bar on top of the areas I plan on fixing? And last question, what do you guys recommend to applying after I apply scratchX, am I able to just top off with a sealant or would I have to do glaze/sealant/wax etc?

    The car is a new VW Jetta, normal black, so if anyone has recommendation I am open to hearing them out thank you!

    Passion is just our term for elbow grease. You will have to re apply wax/ sealant to the area.
    If you wanted to you could clay, but it is not necessary.
    quality creates its own demand

      Yeah, have to work the product into the paint, not just rub and wipe it on.

          Any quick recommendations on a sealant? I figured I'd use a sealant for the longevity, since I probably don't plan on a full detail for another 5months.

            A sealant that's effective by hand that is, since I don't have a PC yet, plan on getting one after xmas though!

                      Oh not bad, NXT2.0 looks promising, only 20bucks online.

                      But do you recommend using some sort of polisher first? Or will clay and scratchX be enough to insure a clean and non-contaminated surface?

                        As far as all over the car, a good general plan would be:

                        1. Wash
                        2. Clay
                        3. Clean - ScratchX 2.0 the scratches. Then use Cleaner/Wax or ColorX on the whole car.
                        4. Wax - Nxt 2.0
