Scratch Remover

Hey guys. Anyone have any success with any of the waxes out there that claim to be "Scratch Removers?" I've tried Meguire's and Nu-Finish. I saw some stuff by 3M but figured I'd ask if any of you guys had any remedies to get out light surface scratches.

Try something like Meguire's "Scratch-X". If that doesn't work, you probably have to buff the scratches out.

3m scratch remover

it will dull it the first time,

just do it 4 times firmly(yes count if by hand) and you will see what i mean. Otherwise use a buffer.

I wetsand my car 2,000 grit sandpaper and get them out with it and a halogen nor the sun can tell.

So 3M huh? I'll have to pick some up. So put it on and take it off by hand...4 times? Sounds easy enough..at least easier than wetsanding...that just sounds rough on the car hahahaha.

wetsand is only good for deep scratches that you filled with a touchup paint. 2k grit sandpaper + 3m scratch remover.

4-6 applications = bye bye whatever scratches.
