Meguiars scratch X

[Chris_Blue]

Yep- i bought some scratch x stuff yestday, on the strength of Gaz photos

[Gazski66]

Dont forget you do need to put a little bit of work in to it but i was very happy with the results

[Chris_Blue]

How much work? (I'm feeling a funny turn coming on)

How much work? (I'm feeling a funny turn coming on)

I spent about 20 to 30 mins on each wheel and that was inside and outside Chris

[Chris_Blue]

Thats OK to be honest. Thought you meant hours
Got 2 sets wheels to do too.

[Gazski66]

no not at all mate

[Chris_Blue]

Any hints? Damp cloth- wipe off with fleece cloth? etc etc

[Gazski66]

I used a microfibre cloth to apply(dry) and the same to buff off, (i turned the appling cloth frequently) i found that leaving to dry for a couple of mins after polishing was a lot easier to buff off

[Chris_Blue]

Nice one Gaz- will let you know how i get on

[Gazski66]

Will be interested in your results Chris

Just tried the Scratch X on one of my Team Dynamic Black spoke wheels. Doesnt take all the light swirls away, but VAST improvement to what was an exisiting clean wheel
Good stuff. Now to do the other 3, then take four off the car, put these clean Team Dynamics 4 on, then clean the 4 Bellones and store them. LOL

Not got any ScratchX so tried this stuff I have had for a couple of years:



Was shocked when I shined the LED light on one of my alloys. Believe it or not these scratches were not visible without the light focused on them.





Not a great difference by hand so broke out the Das6 Pro with Megs microfibre pads and came up with this





Not perfect but a lot better now under light

This is really useful Gaz - thanks for taking the time to post pictures etc. A definite purchase for me!

Hopefully this damage was done before the days of the wheel woolies mate. As they do say that they will not scratch wheels. Hopefully its not just a sales pitch

Definitely not the Woolies Mark as I only use them on the back of the alloys. Will be some garbage brush i would have used in the past on the face of the alloys.
