In past attempts with this product, I would say it was less than desirable. In fact, I have bought it 3 times and returned it twice. This last time I have decided to keep it and probably have used up the whole tube. A little insight on my problem. I have an '04 Mustang GT with swirls and scratches due to my stupidity. I learned from my mistakes and now it is time to move on. So, I try the usual hand applied stuff and no luck. I purchased a Rotary from Harbor Freight and proceed with the usual recommended stuff like:
3M Perfect II Fine Cut Rubbing Compound and 3M Swirl Mark Remover and not happy with the results. I search the forums on Autopia.org and find out that the ScratchX instructions can be a little misleading, so I go to the Meguiars website and read the instructions about working it in, not like a wax. This morning, I tried it on my wifes car using my Rotary Buffer and a NAPA yellow foam polishing pad. I worked the stuff in until it disapeared using the buffer. It took the scratches out of her car like they were never ever there! Needless to say, she came out and told me that I had to do her whole car, not just one panel.
Anyway, after I got done with her car, using Meguiars NXT spray detailer to remove the residue as I went along, I tried it on my front fender on the Stang. HOLY ****!!
FINALLY!! I GOT RID OF MY SWIRLS AND SCRATCHES!!
I do see very, very fine pits or spots in the paint and I mean very fine, you have to be millimeters away to see it. BUT NO MORE SWIRLS AND SCRATCHES.
I will wait until next weekend to do the rest of the car, but it worked out pretty good.
So, BIG thumbs up to Meguiars for once again offering a Kick ArSE product.
Anyone have an idea what the little itty bitty pit marks are?
Sorry for no pics, but I only have a 2.1 MP camera and it wouldn't have picked up on the scratches.
HOWEVER, I am being told that ScratchX and a Rotary is NOT a good idea. Please help me because so far this combo is all that has worked.

instead of ScratchX with your machine. ScratchX was designed to be used by hand for the most part, although a few have reported good results with machine use.
