Default Scratch Removal

I have learned that Berlina is a pain in the rear to maintain (swirls and scratches abound). I know that removing them takes much time and care, but today I saw a scratch removal product from Meguiars...My question is does this stuff work? My expectation is that it doesn't work well, but I want to know if I'm wrong...

Mequiar's Scatch-X works great for light scratches (was awesome to remove scratches after debadging my old vehicle), but for deep swirl marks and scratches I'd suggest something a bit more aggressive.

Scratch-X is very mildly abrasive. It only removes the lightest of scratches when used by hand.

i use scratch-x on very small problems where i dont want to haul out the porter cable... and even then, i am often not happy with the results and end up using it anyway! its worth trying, but just be prepared for it not to be the answer to all of your small scratch issues.

Yes. Very light scratches. Anything remotely bad is not going to be removed by Scratch-X.
