SCRATCHX vs COLOURX
Ok, here is what i know...since I just got back from the store and viewing both products. Both say they help in the removal of small swirls and some scratching....
COLOURX has a polish/wax hybrid in its product SCRATCHX does NOT! This is what i need to know, and please only answer if you KNOW opposed to a shot in the dark LoL, thanks. Here it is, is COLOURX is less abrasive than SCRATCHX or are they pretty much the same thing. Im thinking scratchx is MORE abrasive, since its just for scratches and etching and such. COLOURX is supposed to bring the pop back into the paint as well as remove tiny swirls/scratches. then again...ive never used either of the two products. |

ColorX is a cleaner with protective qualities. It also has fillers to help reduce the visibilty of swirls.
ScratchX is a mechanical polish with fine abrasive to help "remove" or diminish defects (light marring, swirling, ect).

So basically what you are saying is that colourx will fill and MASK the appearance of swirls and scratches, superficial ones at least.
Scratchx will actually work down the clear a lil and get rid of the marks all together. If i have this right, will colourx have to be reapplied to keep everything filled in, or am i good to go from there for quite some time? The scratchx is a wax/polish hybrid as well. Haywire. |
