Don't say I didn't warn you...

I guess I learned the hard way. My arm almost fell off my body after applying ScratchX to my entire car! I thought I could use it as a substitute polish. Boy was I a fool!



Notwithstanding the pain, ScratchX did a decent job, but I still couldn't tackle some of the major scratches/swirling. I was using the Lake Country Pad and Handle kit, by the way, and applied ScratchX with a yellow pad and #7 with a white pad. (If you're detailing by hand, you don't what you're missing with this pad and handle kit. It's like a PC in the palm of your hand.)



Like many others have stated on this forum, the product is only meant for spot treatment, at best. I'm sure there's better stuff out there. What more can you expect from something that's over the counter?



So my next experiment will be with Poorboy's SSRs, namely 1 and 2.5. With reference to 2.5, if I were to use it by hand, would SSR 2.5 apply and remove easier than a ScratchX?
 
I think you'll have a hard time breaking down the SSR 2.5 by hand...



if you CAN break it down fully by hand, then clearly you're 10x better than me!
 
i thought i was able to use ssr2.5 by hand as well, but its damn hard. i just got it to haze, and i kind of stopped, and went over it with some sratchx to cover the hazing.

i ordered ssr1 so i can use it with the 2.5
 
I've buffed out cars using DACP, #82, Vanilla Moose and then hand waxing. Did all buffing and polishing by hand for 10 years in my detailing business. About as good a workout as lifting!
