If you're using ScratchX to remove defects and prepare the paint for wax then you don't need to use a cleaner/wax you can go straight to either Gold Class Wax or NXT Tech Wax.

You're not working on a silver paint you're working on clear paint so the goal is to make the clear as clear as possible and as smooth as possible as gloss comes from smoothness.

ColorX is raccomended after ScratchX?

It can be, depending on your goals. ScratchX would be the cleaner to remove swirls, but if you just wanted to quickly finish up after using ScratchX, a cleaner/wax like ColorX would work fine, or just go to a regular wax like Mike said.

You could also go to a polish and wax after ScratchX if you wanted, and had the time for more steps.

ColorX is a very popular cleaner/wax, many people will do a quick detail like this:

1. Wash
2. Clay if needed
3. ColorX
4. Wax

ColorX is a cleaner/wax
ScratchX is a paint cleaner

These two products are in different "Categories" of product, they will both clean paint and ColorX will also leave behind protection.

If you have not read Meguiar's 5-Step Paint Care Cycle then take a moment to read it as it explains the different steps and thus the different "Categories" of product that match the steps.

It's not that you can't do it but if you do a good job using ScratchX the first time there's not need to use ColorX before Gold Class or NXT. There could be exceptions to this depending upon what you're doing.

Post us the link and we'll take a look at what they're saying.

If you haven't read the 5-Step Paint Care Cycle it's still a good idea to read it regardless of this recommendation on the Italian site.

Ho uno striscio nella vernice.

Scratch X può rimuovere ogni tipo di graffio dalla vernice?
Scratch X è formulato con una pasta di lieve abrasione per permettere l’eliminazione dei piccoli difetti superficiali in modo del tutto sicuro per la vernice. Se il difetto ha intaccato lo strato colorato di vernice in maniera profonda portando in vista il fondo, probabilmete è consigliabile rivolgersi ad un professionista dotato degli strumenti adatti per rimuoverlo. Scratch X può essere essre utilizzato in tutta tranquillità, almeno una volta all’anno per un trattamento completo della vernice. Al termine è consigliabile utilizzare un prodotto come Color X per ripristinare la brillantezza della colore, soprattutto per le vernici più scure e ultimare il lavoro con una applicazione di cera. La cera può poi essere applicata ogni volta si renda necessaria una nuova applicazione.
