when to apply scratch x
 
I have a bb and have very minor swirls in my paint so i was thinking about getting some meguiars scratch x, but i was just curious when you apply it i was assuming it was after washing and before waxing but correct me if i am wrong.

Try it on my 8 with not much luck, use it for fine scratches seem to help a bit. Mine's Galaxy Grey, a mica finish and Black is more reflective finish, so I believe it will show scratches even more. I've had 1 black car and will never have another unless it a mica black, don't get me wrong I love black car for the first couple of years but those nasty swirl mark drive me nuts!

Tried four products all with very limited success, there all in my garage tried once and I'm out about 40-60 bucks. Save your money and go to a good detailer. IMO
Meguiars Scratch X
Quixx Paint Scratch Remover
GT 88
Mother's Scratch Remover


Preventing scratches

Wash your car once a week. Dirt on the paint can easily lead to scratches.

Don't slide objects across the paint. Even grocery bags can cause scratches.

If you wash a car by hand, don't use an abrasive cloth such as one with synthetic fibers. We suggest a clean sponge or sheepskin mitt.

Hose off any dirt or grime before you begin washing, and frequently rinse the sponge or mitt in clean water. If it drops on the ground, don't use it until it has been thoroughly cleaned.

Dry the paint with a clean chamois or terrycloth towels.

Wax using microfiber towels or soft all-cotton cloths, such as cloth diapers.

Keep us posted on how it out.

This is why I'm weary of these products :)
