Gen6 Removing Scratches

I just saw this product on tv. What do you guys think of it? Is it a waste of money?

I try to stay away from anything that is associated with that man.

Try Meguiar's ScratchX. It's basiaclly an abrasive or a light polish and you can find it at your local auto store. If this doesn't remove the scratches then try polishing them out. Make sure you apply wax after using ScratchX or polishing.

And for future reference, I recommend you ask your paint related questions in the Detailing & Car Care forum. That's where all the hardcore detailers hang.

ScratchX is a good choice. You can also give SIMPLE ONE a try. Go to polishandwax.com

Scratch X is good, as well as 3M's Scratch remover....they all basically do the same thing...so i couldnt see how Mr. May's thing would be bad....at least you could get a mini buffer out of the deal :-) lol

for deeper scratches (i.e. key marks) do the job the right way:

http://blog.scionxtc.com/blogs/archi...tchRepair.aspx

pretty much you fill in the scratches with touch up paint, wet-sand it down (keep applying paint until it's flush), and do the same with a little bit of clear coat, use a rubbing compound, and spray some protectant on it... or perhaps just wax it?
