Meguiar’s Scratch-X®- 7oz

Got light scratches or a scuff on the tank from a jacket zipper or a tipped-over bike in the garage? Meguiar’s ScratchX takes care of the light stuff by hand. Its micro-abrasives work out the blemish and a polymer wax protects the spot after.

It handles:

• Fine scratches and swirl marks
• Scuffs and paint transfer
• Fingernail marks

It’s clear coat safe and works on all shiny paint types, so it’s fine for most motorcycle tanks, fenders and side covers. Use it by hand with a microfiber applicator, or with a dual action (DA) polisher if you have one. 7 oz tube.

Know its limits. ScratchX is for light damage. A scratch that has gone through the clear coat into the color or primer won’t polish out, and it isn’t made for matte or flat paint, since it’s designed for shiny finishes. Try it on a small area first.

Most garage scratches come from bumping a bike that’s parked tight next to the car, the mower and the bikes. Giving it its own spot in a Speedway Shelter cuts down on that. It’s also in our Quick Detail Kit.
