Meguiars Scratch X 2.0

I used the above product today, in my opinion it is rubbish!  It claims to remove Fine Scratches and Blemishies.

It did not remove even the smallest/lightest scratches.  I rummaged through the garage and found an old bottle off T-Cut for metallic paint, I really hate to say this, I really do, but it worked better.

Anyone got any recommendations?

 :undecided:

Its worked really well when I had a light scratch from a thorn on a country road go all the way down the side of my car, you cant see it now after using this.

its basically got fillers in it so your scratch hasnt actually gone its just been covered up/filled in.

I see. Well, as long as it hasnt damaged the paint, the car looks like new again and the scratch is gone, I cant complain.

Scratch X is abrasive so it says. :undecided:

It worked for me.
Golf MK3 1.8 auto and I didn't pay a grand for the "priveledge" :grin:, auto windows all round and a AC. Oh and I've got a luggage net you pricks!

Does that make my willy look bigger?

Oh yeah it's called Helda or something....
