  • ScratchX 2.0 first impressions... stove top.

    I picked up a bottle from Walmart and decided to try it on my stove top because it's cold and nasty outside. I also wanted to try out the new G110.

    I have no idea how the stove top hardness compares to paint hardness as this is my first time using the G110. The following is just my noob experience and observations.

    G110 is LOUD. I had a temperary mild loss of hearing after using it. Maybe it's because it's inside the house and my stove is right in a corner. Vibrated like a mother too. Hand numbing. Later realized that the pad was not perfectly centered. Also smell a slight burning rubbery smell.

    Materials:

    G110
    LC CCS Orange 5" pad with Terry Bonnet
    ScratchX 2.0
    Glass Stove Top

    My stove top has little scratches similar to a car that has been thru automatic washes.

    - I dropped two quarter sized drops on the stove and spread it around half the stove.
    - One pass on speed 3 to spread some more
    - Did the whole criss cross pattern for about 6 passes on speed 5.
    - Added pressure until it stopped spinning to get the feel, and let up on the weight to allow spinnage.
    - Did it twice and noticed no difference from the other half, although the other half was less worn to begin with.
    - The bonnet turned brown from the grease and what not... even though i had just degreased it.
    - I stopped because i didnt want to waste anymore scratchx.

    - I decided to try by hand using a rag. (old clothes)
    - Masking tape to do a "50/50"
    - Worked with a 2" x 2" spot
    - Worked it in with passion.
    - Did it twice.
    - Results in the following picture.

    Look to the right of the light and you can see the horizontal 50/50 line


    This next picture is of the heating area and you can see all the scratches in there. Couldnt get it to look any better. Theres also alot of gunk **** around the circle that i couldnt get off with degreaser or goo gone.



    * This is my first time using g110
    * when i say "pass", i mean literally pass over once in any given spot.

      The G110 is quite loud, I don't remember how it compares to the PC, but I do where ear protection (as I did w/ the PC) as to avoid any "temporary mild loss of hearing."

      It's good to know that the new products are starting to hit store shelves.

        It's fun doing non auto stuff once in a while. I'm wondering if you would get even better results without the bonnet on the pad and using a polishing pad? Would be more agressive.
