ScratchX - Before & After Extreme Makeover!
This is a copy of a thread originally posted on what is now the old forum, it makes the point so well that in some situations removing the below surface defects to an acceptable level that it will require multiple applications that we copied it here to our permanent vB forum.
As should be, due credit given to the original poster, member 04SI
The lesson here is that sometimes in order to completely remove defects like swirls and scratches, you may need to apply multiple applications of ScratchX in order to remove enough paint to level or flatten out the surface and in essence remove the defects.
It also requires that you,
"put a little passion behind the pad"
ScratchX works if you work ScratchX, it's not a WOWO product, (Wipe On, Wipe Off, pronounced whoa whoa), it's a WOWI product, (Wipe On, Work In, pronounced wow wee)
A big thank you to 04SI for taking the time to take these photos, document his work and then share it with our community.
