Help with Scratch x...

[willynwilson]

I have a tube of scratch x and a german applicator....

This is the first time i will be doing this by hand,

few questions

1. how long will it take?
2. Which side of the applicator do i use (yellow/black)?

Thats about it, any help will be great!

How long it takes depends on how long your willing to go at it i think lol, also on the condition of your paintwork and swirls etc. I couldnt be bothered to do much on my clio bonnet, so i spent about 20 mins on the bonnet and 10 mins with SRP and i still had a good outcome.

As for the applicatior im not sure sorry, probably the softest side is best.

It will take ages if you have bad marring!

Work in small areas, 12 inch by 12 inch or so, apply the the product to the pad and work until there is no residue to remove, this is the only way it will break down and do it's job. Keep repeating this till the swirls are gone, could take some time.

Yellow side should be the polishing side.

Car is brand new only 1 month old and the missus took it through the car wash

so i need to get rid of the swirling.

It was with this pad:
