Has anyone tried this for scratch removal?
If so, can some please provide some reviews.

Looks cheap and easy but I don't know if it works.
Thanks. |

| Never tried the Simoniz. I keep a bottle of Kit Scratch Out on hand, and it works reasonably well. |

I've had pretty good luck with Meguiar's SCRATCH X.

I'm sure every product out there has it's limitations. Each is a compromise of ease of use, least chance of damaging the clear-coat, and overall effectiveness of removing a scratch. It worked for mine, but I'm sure will not work for all. Post back the results of how the Simoniz product works as I'm curious how they compare. |

I just used this to remove (hide) some pretty deep scratches on my wife's CR-V last week. Worked really well. I used one of those little $20.00 6" orbital polishers from Wall-Mart.
If the scratches are not bad there is a more mild polishing formula.
If you buff the scratches, be sure to wash and wax the areas afterwards.
Good Luck |

| You're not actually hiding the scratches by using the rubbing compound, you're actually removing some of the clearcoat that the scratches have made. Rubbing compound is bad news IMO. |

I learned that rubbing compound was bad news on the hood of my 2005 Pilot. I knew it removed the clear coat but I thought I had a good feeling as to the limitations of it.
I obviously did not.
My advise is only use rubbing compound if your 1. crazy enough to risk ruining your pilot and 2. know a good body shop to repaint your damage(do not ake that the wrong way just speaking from experience)

| I tried, with reasonable success, a product called Quixx, which is approved by the German TUV and thus has some credibility. It's a two step system, with two little creams and some very fine sandpaper, and worked well on a scratch on my Pilot. Thw website is http://www.quixxusa.com/ but I've seen it on E-Bay, Amazon and lots of other places |

I unfortunately had an opportunity to try the Scratch X, and I like it better than the Kit Scratch Out I have been using. |
