20 Best Wax For Removing Scratches (2023 Updated)

I tried rubbing the scratches on my truck (metallic blue) and product did not remove them. It does remove dirt and grit nicely. Good for polishing. Had to take truck to professional car detailer to remove scratches.

What I like is how easy and quick this works for removing light scuffs and those finger nail lines behind the door handles that show up on light color vehicles. I have also used this on garden solar panel lights.

Comes in a nice squeeze bottle which I prefer a lot more than the plastic jar.

Used to blend small areas of touched up paint on my Toyota Tacomoa. Just right grit and easy to use. After a little work you have to look very closely to find the touched up areas.

I was sceptical as I have never had good results with polish and elbow grease and was trying this on a brand new motorbike whose tank had been inadvertently scratched by a contaminated cloth. However with about 4 separate treatments all the surface scratches were simply erased.

The lighter scratches went in the first 2 treatments generally but a couple of deeper scratches (could just feel my fingernail over them) took a couple more passes but did disappear completely. Used a Milwaukee cordless drill on low power and kept moving the pad to and fro.

Autoglym deep shine wax applied and the tank is literally good as new. Money well spent.

I found someone had scuffed my wheel arch, my car has white paintwork & the scuff was silver in colour. It really bothered me a noticeable scratch on my car. Pre washed my car with Meguires Gold wash then chamois down.

Then applied small amount of product on micro-fibre cloth and slowly made back and fourth passes across the scratch. It removed an amount of the scratch but I then used the pad applicator with more product and wow it vanished then buffed off.

No sign of scratch anymore. fantastic.

I bought this due to trying to avoid an accident and scraping the majority of the left side my car against a pole. I had 10+ scratches that started from the front left all the way to the rear, and this product removed ALL of them.

I tried the fingernail test and definitely thought I was going to need the scratches professionally removed, but this took care of them all and I couldn’t believe it. Was very easy to use and was a quick process.

100% will be using in the future, if needed.

It’s fine. It works, but you’re better off purchasing each of the components separately. If you have just one little scratch and you’ll never need another one, I guess it makes sense to buy this kit.

But, it’s like buying a pre-packaged snack pack instead of a full bag of pretzels, full block of cheese, a pound of grapes, apportioning them yourself, and getting five or six for the same price one cost you.

It worked fine on very light scratches on my car – hairline scratches. Those scratches were gone. For deep scratches, it did not work, and it was not supposed to work. I cannot say how well it will work on medium scratches between light and deep, as I did not try it.

Could be a little better. It does get small scratches out but the items included in the kit do not finish the job. The instructions need to include that wax or polish may be needed to make the area shiny again.

Leaves the paint dull.

Base car was a metallic black F31, had some scratch and swirl work done by me, but I have resisted the use of ceramic. My advise is do 2 panels at a time in warm environment, and you should get an outstanding result.

Very happy with the results using nothing but elbow grease and clean microfiber cloths. Also use gloves!! The black pigment in the polish is there for the car, not your hands!! Will try again to upload image of the results.

It I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Deepens the shine, and supply’s an awesome gloss finish. Parked it next to my mates merc who’s just spent £200 on a ceramic coating and there’s wasn’t a lot between the 2 cars!! 5 stars for me!!!.

I have used polishing machine with medium-heavy cut pad to apply wax in a cloudy day. car looks like a mirror now. most swirl marks are gone, and scratches covered. will apply again in 1, 2 months time to keep the shiny look.

Amazing. Brought a showroom shine to black car and very easy to apply and polish off. Also didn’t take much. Could easily polish my Range Rover 4 times with the bottle.

I did a lot of research about fixing the light scratches on my car trunk before purchasing this product. I have mixed reviews about it. It’s a 3-step process. 1) Sand down the scratches with the provided sander pad and water mist.

This was really labor intensive. I ended up attaching the sand pad to a drill to make this part go faster. Still, I probably spent over an hour doing this. You have to be slow, methodical, and careful about it.

You need to sand out the scratch, but not get into the paint layer. I was disappointed that the kit only came with one small sander pad. Definitely needed another, if not 3 of them. 2) Buff with compound.

My main complaint with this step was that the compound comes in a packet (like you’d get for salad dressing), so there’s no way to seal the unused portion. Also, it’s a bit messy when your using the drill buffer, even if you spread it before you start spinning the drill.

I had a lot of cleanup to do afterwards. Otherwise, it seemed to work fine. 3) Buff with polish layer. Exact same complaints here. No way to seal unused portion. Makes a bit of a mess. It did restore the shine, which I was a bit worried about after the step 1 sanding.

Overall, it mostly worked. The shallow scratches are gone. Shine is back. The deeper scratches are still visible, although less visible than before. Perhaps if I was braver, I would have sanded the larger scratches down more.

Or maybe if I had more than the single tiny sander that felt like it ran out of steam before I had attacked all of the trunk scratches. Not sure it was worth the money and effort though. Perhaps I was over ambitious looking for a magic bullet solution.

Amazing kit and very easy to use. I repair furniture and wood flooring. You would be amazed at how well one of these kits works to remove scratches from manufactured flooring and clear coat finishes on furniture.

Add a battery powered drill to the mix and the work becomes a breeze.

Driving on the freeway a truck in the lane right to me hit something, like a piece of tire or plastic or some sort of other car part debris. The truck’s rear wheels threw the piece up to the left and smacked it to the right side of my car.

Scratched the right rear fender (metal) for about 5 inches with black paint transfer (my car is white pearl). This thing took it out. Period. Followed the instructions, sanded it with the provided pad, then polished then buffed.

Looks like new. I became so excited that I went around the car checking for all kind of scratches just to fix them. Well worth it. You must have a drill or a drill driver and you must know how to handle it because it wiggles.

I used a RYOBI One+ P208 and it worked fine.

So my neighbors dog jumped on my car and this is a big husky. When I got outhi noticed two big scratch marks. I also get hit often with grocery carts because people just seem not to care anymore. Got a few scratches from those too.

So when I clean my car I go all out. First prep it with tar and bug remover, let that sit a bit. The powerwash with turtle wax car wash. Then I get out the brush and scrub. This helps see all the scratches, imperfections etc.

I went around and used the renew and restore scratch remover and noticed a big difference with almost all of the scratches. I then went and waxed the car with my power waxer. Then I do the wheels and all the turtle wax products make my car look brand new.

It’s almost ten years old but I love my car and I still get so many compliments on how great it looks.

A family member backed out of the garage and scraped the rear wheel well of a white X3 BMW. I looked at this for months and finally decided to do something about it, not expecting any success. I used a Festool Rotex 90 tool* with a foam pad, and the results were amazing.

In five minutes the rash was gone completely! I honestly do not know how this was possible, but it worked like a charm, and I was so impressed I am thinking about opening a scratch removal business ;-).

This Turtle Wax Scratch Repair and Renew product restored my faith in automotive products that you see on shelves at the auto parts store and wonder if they are just money sinks. If you have a similar situation with your car, you should give this a try before you take it in for an estimate.

I could eliminate the need for repair or reduce your repair estimate. *you could use a drill with a foam disc attachment or use elbow grease.

I’m rarely impressed by Snake Oil car care products that virtually promise to invoke the power of magic to fix things. But this stuff has completely restored the marks left on my falcon the other day.

I felt for sure that it would need sanding , filler and paint to get rid of the scratches, they looked quite deep. The bottle says this stuff is equivalent to 1000 Grit sandpaper. It got rid of all the marks save for a tiny bit of bruising where the plastic of the bumper has been minutely compressed near the edge.

But if I didn’t know to look for it, I’d never be able to tell. I am very impressed by this product:

I have 2014 Cadillac Escalade Black. After applying the wax it looks signing and last longer. I am happy. I will buy again and I will try their different products as well.

I really liked the product my Chevrolet Malibu looks better than it was a new recommend It for anyone who likes his car

It is truly a mirror shine.

This is heavy duty compound. You may need to use a fine polish or swirl away to get the desired look. On black finishes I use Turtle Wax Jet Black for the finish. This is after the rubbing compound. Its a great product, but use it lightly.

As it says Heavy Duty. You can use it on auto, bike, boat finishes. This time I am using it on fiberglass gel coated bathtub finishes. When using a electric buffer do it light.

We’ve all used T Cut at some point and it does the job. 3/5 for the ‘Dark’ Blue scratch remover as the product looks a lighter blue and never hid scratches. I’d bought a Blue from Halfords which I was told would suit all blues and it was very light.

So I ordered this DARK blue and it is a little darker but both T Cut Blue products actually highlighted some scratches by making them a lighter blue. Also I caught some trim around the car and it marked it blue which then has to be removed.

I’d say if you have scratches on your car look for other solutions. For a standard shine T-Cut does the job. I’ll stick with the non-coloured T-Cut. 3/5 not quite good enough at colour matching/removing scratches from my DARK Blue car.

Don’t expect miracles, it will not remove all scratches but it will make many imperceptible. I gave my car a good polishing all over with T Cut Dark Blue, concentrating on areas that were scratched. Polished over it again with Autoglym Super Resin Polish and it came up a treat, the shine that I achieved was almost showroom.

Thoroughly recommend this product, although it has limitations.

This stuff works great and you can’t hardly find it at a retail store anymore. I just put this stuff right where the scratch is and buff it out every few months. Then put wax over all of it. It saved me a paint job!.

I bought an old Chevy Suburban just to move my boat from dry storage at Folsom Lake and launch it and then put the boat back. After owning it for a few years and getting to retire I decided to take it on as a project.

The existing white Chevy paint was shot. So I decided to go for a antique look and just buff that old pain out and Lee and show some metal. I’m really liking how it’s turning out. Very happy with the rubbing compound.

Bought this because I couldn’t find my box o compounds. My van was long overdue for a thorough paint refresh. I used a slightly more aggressive liquid compound on the very oxidized paint, then this, then a cleaning glaze then a few coats of carnuba and my van looks like new.

This compound is very effective for getting the grime and leaving nothing but shine.

Really easy too use see the results straight away basically does what it says on the bottle Highly recommend it Gets rid of light scratches and blemishes

I used it to hopefully mask a few marks on one of my Reflex Silver car doors, and although I can still see the marks they’re not so prominent, and appear to be blending in every time I use this product.

Excellent quality product. Makes my car paintwork looks like new again. Would certainly buy again.

Tried a few polish/ scratch removers this is the best one by far really makes your paint work stand out after use.

Not much to say, does what its meant to well. Good price compared with shop. Thank you

this save a lot of bucks. I used this instead of going to an automobile shop to remove scratches from my car.

it actually removed the scratches from my car.

This fixed a big scratch on my car. I love it.

I was looking for a restorer for my fiberglass exterior front door. The full glass outside storm door provides a layer of protection from the wind, how ever the fiberglass wood like door gets the full sun during most of the day and has lost much of the beautiful woodgrain appearance it once had.

My goal was to bring back the luster & beauty I had tried other suggested fixes but to no avail. This 3 M marine type solution suggested it might do the trick. It seems to have cleaned the old material from the surface & filled the remaining surface to a smooth finish and except for the loss of the coloration from the sun it does look much better.

I’m glad I tried it.

I have a 16 year old Fifth Wheel and as typical of most RVs the gel coat finish has always failed to retain its gloss. It is way worse on one side from afternoon sun exposure. On most RVs the gel coat finish is sub standard so they will start deteriorating after a few years; as did mine, despite using wax and other finishes/polishes that claim they will solve the problem, including the product recommended by the RV manufacturer.

After countless hours of work over the years nothing solved the problem. I finally got a suggestion to use this product. I applied it with an orbital buffer and was shocked to see a nice glossy surface again.

It went on more easily than other products have and again I have a shiny RV. Granted, it’s not labor free, and is still work, but the end result is great. time will tell how long this will last, but so far it’s great.

This product worked great. I am usually skeptical of online reviews, but after using this product I felt the need to review it myself. I own a fifth wheel camper, and due to extreme oxidation from sun exposure, I have to refinish the front cap every year.

This product from 3M beats any other product I have tried. I applied 2 light coats using an electric buffer, and the fiberglass looks almost new. No other product I have tried has been as easy to use and produced results as good.

I will definitely use this again in the future.

Although this is a product more targeted at DA polishing, I have used it manually. The product needs good amount to be usable (more than on a DA you would use) and is not that easy to remove. I liked how you can see the product when working on it (sort of a matte trail).

However, it is good on swirl marks and leaves a lovely slick and glowing shine after use. You get rewarded. Definitely, a product to have. A little expansive compared to the very good Meguire’s competitor “Ultimate Restorer”.

No dusting, always appreciated.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago. I am a retired detailer and have used all of the big brand names in the past. I was really impressed with the results I got using this on a 1993 BMW. It cuts nicely, removing swirls easily with very little effort and no dust.

We’ll recommended.

Excellent product! I used this with a Rupes Bigfoot and medium pad – freshened the paintwork up lovely and removed all swirl marks and minor scratches. With a coarser pad, I have no doubts it will take serious defects out, or at the very least heavily minimise them.

Pads were easy to clean afterwards, removal and buffing off product after polishing was easy with microfibre towels as directed.
