Car Scratch Remover that Really Works

Car Scratch Remover that Really Works

With lots of car scratch removers on the market today, we all ask the same question – do they really work? Many people would assume a product called a “scratch remover” would remove all scratches from a car’s paint. But after testing a few do-it-yourself car scratch removers, I found they have their limitations. On that note, let us start our hunt for the

Best Car Scratch Removers on the Market

Turtle Wax โ€“ Scratch & Swirl Remover

Reviews about Turtle Wax say that it is very easy to apply but is so hard to remove. It is not advisable to use this product on large areas to remove scratches. Although it has been receiving great reviews and even mentioned as one of the Top 4 Auto Detailing products posted in National News Today. Turtle Wax Ice seems to be the newest detailing product on the market today. Turtle Wax Ice works best on surfaces like plastic and rubber. However,ย some detail technicians say thatย it is difficult toย remove andย itsย effect does not last longer than a week.

Turtle wax is a brand known acrossย the country. It’s great forย small scratches on small surface areas. It works best on plastic and rubber surfaces.

Quixx Repair System โ€“ High Performance Scratch Remover

Because hiring someone to do aย professional paint job can be quite costly, some people look forย cheaper options. One option is to use productsย like Quixx Repair System which offers top scratch removing effects. Unlike other scratch removers, Quixx Repair System can deal with deep scratches. Customers rate the product 4 out of 5 stars. Directions should be followed carefully especially if it is your first time to use this product. Consult a professional detailing company if need be. Here’s an interesting video about this product:

Nu Finish Scratch Doctor

Nu Finish got a fair score on reviews as it is effective to use on small scratches but notย on deeper scratches. According to a review on Amazon, if the scratch does not go beyond the clear coat layer, then the Nu Finish Scratch Doctor can deal with it. Otherwise, it would beย better to consult a professional detailing expert.

Meguiars Scratch X

Clean Your Car says, โ€œA must have for collectors and enthusiasts.โ€ Meguiars Scratch X is a product tough enough to get rid of fine scratches but gentle enough not to damageย your vehicle’s paint. It is also effective on swirls, light blemishes and oxidation. It is a highly rated non-abrasive product.

With all the products listed above it’s now time to answer our initial question:

Do Car Scratch Removers Really Work?

What it boils down to is they all can remove very light scratches and imperfections, such as swirl marks, hazing, or oxidation. You must be careful not to make the condition worse. Which brand to use will depend on a few things: your preference and the size of the surface area which needs treatment. Most of the scratch removing products on the market today can only remove small scratches. As for deep scratches, Quixx Repair System โ€“ High Performance Scratch Remover is the only one that can remove deep scratches. But I would like again to stress that it will still depend on the depth of the scratch. If it is too deep to run your nails into it, professional detailing services will always be the wiser choice.
