3M Scratch Remover is a self-appearing product that has received much praise. At the 2007 SEMA show, this product received the Popular Mechanics Editor’s Choice award. It would not be surprising to know the award if you have ever used it as is:
- Easy to use
- Has proven results
- Incorporates innovative technology
- Very reasonably priced
Without its wax formula, scratch marks are never filled in, but rather polished until they are no longer visible. This is achieved through the use of exclusive fine minerals in its formula. It goes without saying that 3M Scratch Remover is perfectly safe to use on the clear outer coat found on modern automotive finishes.
The product has an easy-to-follow four-step application process that, once completed, produces a finish that even the most die-hard enthusiast will be more than amazed at the results. In step one, it is recommended to wash your car with a quality automotive soap to remove any road residue or other dirt and droppings from the finish. Moving on to step two, you will squeeze the tube to release a small amount of the product onto a clean, soft terry cloth. Next, in step three, use a circular motion while rubbing the damaged area to the point where the 3M scratch remover is dry. Last but not least, in step four, remove any remaining haze, again with a quality microfiber cloth commonly found with auto detailing supplies. The result before you will be a treat to your eyes as you look beyond belief!
A tip on what to expect with this product. Naturally, not all scratches are created equally. Some are deeper than others and the deeper version will likely require some painting. To assess in advance whether 3M’s scratch remover will work well for you, you need to swipe your finger over the damaged area. At this point, if your nail tends to get caught in the scratch grooves, they are probably too deep to be seen. However, if it is not trapped as described, then it is the type of damage that is the best issue to repair using this product.
In closing, if you’re like me and you love seeing a beautiful finish on your car that won’t scratch, then using 3M Scratch Remover is just what the doctor ordered. You can safely remove swirl marks, water spots, fine scratches, rust and other paint imperfections without any headache.
