this pic is not of good enough quality to really show whether there are scratches or not. under the right camera setting and lighting, you can hide almost any and all scratches, even on black. got any before/after pics? i really like this stuff, but ive found that system one x3 polish is even better. can be applied by hand or buffer, foam or wool. takes everything out from 1500 grit sanding all the way down to swirls and light surface stuff.

hi the car was always clean ,garage queen, but the paint looked dead, so by hand i did the scratch x and it really cleaned it up then i used mcquires caruba wax (sp) and wow it brought it all back to the (see your self),it is amazing .the diff i think is all the spray detailer just builds up on the paint but now it looks 3-d or the wet look here is some pic and there are lot's of lil scatches some swirls but hard to se in person it;s beautiful. i got inspired by the post from presidental detailing the see youself in the door reflection and so i did the same lol billyb.
