Re: How To Remove Swirls By Hand

Sorry to bring this old thread back again.
I just wanted to ask, is it ok to use ScratchX to get rid of some water spots and spider webbing then use ColorX then followed by NXT paste wax??
thanks

If the swirls are coming back this means they're not actually being removed or they are somehow being instilled again.

Can you take a before and after picture?

Read through this and make sure you're not making any of the common mistakes like trying to tackle too large of an area at one time or moving the polisher quickly over the paint or not pushing down hard enough etc.

HI,

Your not the only one hobbling along here. My current project is a '99 Lexus...black and in need of work on the finish.

I began using scratch X a couple of weeks ago by hand! It's pretty much a panel an evening....3 to 4 applications, really working it in each time. I could not do the whole car in one sitting, who could. I think patience is the name of the game. Yeah the panels stick out a little but if I'm asked about it...it gives me a chance to talk about MeGuires and scratch X..

You should try M105 by hand-I'll bet you could cut your applications in half. I did a 11 year old Escort with one application of M105 and one coat of ColorX applied aggressively and it came out great.

Re: How To Remove Swirls By Hand

can color x be used to remove swirls too other than scratch x??

Re: How To Remove Swirls By Hand

ColorX is going to be milder.... So you would get better results with ScratchX, and even better results with #105.

By looking at your posting history, you've posted this question to multiple threads.

PLEASE start your own thread for questions about detailing or just stick with the thread you started here on your question.

How to use ColorX

Also a friendly tip, ColorX is one word, not two as in Color x

Thank you.

Re: How To Remove Swirls By Hand

I just had my hood and bumper painted, but the body shop left a TON of holograms! Seeing as ScratchX removes some paint, and I need to apply wax after, how long should I wait before using the product? Also, how hard do I need to apply the pad, and how long will a hood roughly take me so I know I'm not speeding through it? Thanks!

For a question like this it's best if you start your own thread...

I'll move your post and create a new thread for you.
