How to Safely Remove Fine Scratches from Your Car's Paint by
Hand
Micro-fine, hairline scratches can often be removed by hand
using a non-abrasive paint cleaner or swirl remover polish like
Meguiar's ScratchX™. It safely and effectively removes below
surface defects like fine scratches and bonded contaminants from
paint surfaces, while enhancing the paint's gloss. Unlike many
of today’s overly abrasive scratch removing formulas, will not
leave more scratches than it removes. The product is ideal for
solving isolated paint problems and can even be used to revive a
vehicle’s entire paint finish. If it is possible to remove a
blemish or scratch by hand, ScratchX is the perfect solution.
The most common below surface defects, many of which can be
removed by hand are listed below:
Random, isolated scratches
Cobweb-effect
Buffer swirls
Oxidation
Pore imbedding stains
Chemical etching
Acid rain spots
Etching from bird droppings
ScratchX is not a wipe-on, wipe-off product like a wax; it's
more of a wipe on, and gently work it into the finish product.
You will need a clean, foam applicator pad to work the product
into the finish and a good quality terry cloth towel, like
Meguiar's Ultra Plush Super Terry, or a microfiber towel, like
Meguiar's Supreme Shine Microfiber, for wipe off to make certain
that your effort provides the desired result. It's important to
note that using premium quality applicators and towels insures
that you do not inflict any additional scratches back into the
paint surface.
