This is the video I've been looking for! Everyone else on CZcams are using polishing machines and, in some cases, disassembling the dash to achieve the exact same result.
Honestly, if you're disassembling the dash you're getting more coverage on the parts, so better results. But it's not necessary for everyone
😂 bro frfr looking for the easy way out 😂😂😂
Thank you for this video. I just received my E400 cabriolet back from detailing and the wood looked really bad - it looked hazy and had residue on it. I ran out and got this product, and it did a great job!
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? This video was excellent, thanks man you saved me a lot of headache with this video Thanks.
Glad we could help! Thank you for your feedback.
I just got a new car and it had some scratches on the interior so I’m gonna clean it up myself thanks to this video.
Absolutely love it and great info. Selling my truck and doing a good detail, this helped wonders! Greatly appreciate it!
Awesome! It worked great on my Mitsubishi Outlander 2022 :-) Thank you very much.
That Came Out Looking Amazing!! Now I Can Do My Interior Plastics!! Great Video!!👍👍
Thank you for your feedback!
Not a lot of videos about this subject. Thanks for the info!
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I tried both products on the interior Black Piano (Noir laqué in French) of my BMW SERIE 2 GRAN COUPE 2022. It worked. This is now like the first day 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It got them all out I have a new one with the piano black and it's really getting bad so it worked good
Did this today on all my gloss interior panels. I wish my cars exterior paint polished out as fast as those panels did. It took no time at all and they were heavily scratched and covered in swirls
Glad it worked for you! Thank you for your feedback.
This was satisfying to watch... can't wait to try
Thanks, mate! It really works on my Hyundai Tucson. Just a little tiny area near the gear knob. Annoying scratches has gone. Thumbs up! Warm regards from Indonesia 🙏
Glad we could help! Thank you for your feedback.
Great video with great result.Have you ever used this product on the clear perspex instrument cluster?If do what were the results.thanks.
this is the most amazing self fix I seen ever! thx from Sweden
You're welcome! Thank you for your feedback.
Nice job and no need for a compound and a polisher -
Nice !!
Great video, straight to the point. Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you for your feedback.
I did this on my 2017 BMW with the infamous black trim and it worked well, I can still see scratches under a light but I think it’s because I tried to use regular compound and polish first. Start light on these interiors
This is awesome thanks for posting this video !!
You're welcome! Thank you for your feedback.
Thanks for the video. What would you recommend to get rid if any scratches (not tears ) on the leather trim on the dashboard (I have a merc e400) thanks
This is amazing works like magic thank you sir!
will it protect from scratches in future too once applied ?
Hi,
Short, crisp video, to the point. Great stuff!
Can you please send a link to the blue masking tape also..
Please do a video on how to clean odometer scratches.
Thank you for your feedback! You can pick up the painter's tape here: www.albanycountyfasteners.com/blue-painters-tape/7310-002.htm
What if clear coat has been rubbed off in an area? How do you restore or repair?
At my local auto shop they have the new version of the scratch remover with the wax protection in the product. Would this mean I wouldn’t have to use a wax after applying the scratch remover?
How do you remove scratches from the leather. I had a dog freak out and it scratched up my glove box and door panels pretty good. They are not super deep but there are a lot of them
Hi . Will this work on my BMW black shiny car door trim ?
How do you polish the silver part? I am a tall guy and scratched mine with my shoe... :(
Does this work on the plastic for the center console near the sifter for a Lexus IS 2023?
Hi may i know how to remove alcohol parfume stain on plastic trim? Black piano air vent trim
Do you think normal polish (for exterior paint work) would work on the interior panels? Or might it destroy it?
Is it possible with alu hexagon trims also?
This thing works like magic
Could you pls share link for both items .
Thanks for the video. Hope this works for some hazy and scratches on the same exact part of my x5.
You're welcome! Thank you for your feedback.
How did it work for removing hazy and scratched trim?
What would be a good alternative to Meguiar's G18211 Ultimate Paste Wax? since I can't find it on Amazon
Would it work on the wood plastic as well?
Does that scratch remover have fillers?? Or no fillers??
can that product works on plastic door panels?
Can this remove car wax hazing on my piano black finish?
Can we use ultimate compund too here?
So is this better than using meguiar's plastX? (Supposedly for plastics)
What would you need to do to repair a crack in the veneer?
Will this also works on dashboard glass ? Outside windshield or any headlong or glass or body ? I mean exterior .What kind of cars are compatible ? BMW , Audi , Lexus ? Thank You
Good morning I want the name of the car polishing wood car interior
what about paino black is it good for it?
I can’t find this 2.0 product anywhere!?
Thank you!! Looks great will definitely try it!!
You're welcome! Thank you for your feedback!
Does this work on the metal trim
That's a good result I'll give you that! I need to do the piano black trim on my Jaguar XK interior. Wish me luck!
Good luck!
How did it work? My new toyota also has piano black trim next to gear stick. I wonder if you are able to remove scratches with this method. Thx
Can I use meguiars 3in1 wax
Possible for Ps5 plastick pinao black ?
Thanks
Like magic man u got my sub gonna go try this on my C3 Citroen
Great Job. Thank you
You're welcome! Thank you for the feedback.
Hey, does the same process work for the gloss plastic on the outside (particularly the gloss on the doors and mirror housing)?
Yes, those should work just fine. Just be sure to apply the paste wax afterwards.
Good job👍✌
This needs more views
Thank you for your feedback!
Can I use polywatch.
Would any fine polish work
The Meguire’s scratch remover is a multipurpose scratch remover. I have personally used it on the exterior of my Jeep. It worked good, but no testament to interior.
I thought this was my saver. It put long scratches in my console vs. The one long one that was in in.
Will this also work on the gear console glass , where you have the info and sports button.
eeby varghese it will work on any gloss plastic surface
Doesn’t work on piano black trims 😞
Will this fix a lil chip
What does the compound wax do when applied? Is it just to restore shine after the scratch treatment, or does it also help remove scratches as well?
Its basically removing an extremely thin layer of the clear coat as thats where the swirls are .. anything that has penetrated deeper than the clear coat cannot be "buffed out" though
Thanks for this great vid! I'll be sure to point others towards it.
Question:
I am finding it hard to get the 2.0 version. Even on Amazon many people are saying they did not receive the correct 2.0 when ordering.
Will the regular Maquire's Scratch X do the same job? Upon reading instructions and use by others the regular may only be for exterior paint scratches.
What's your experience and/or input on this, please?
Thank you, again.
honestly through researches the regular Scratch X vs Scratch X 2.0 is no difference.
Scratch X “with wax protection” is the successor to Scratch X 2.0.
I know this is from a while ago, but would this work on the plastic surrounding a subaru gear shift? I have microscratches.
Yes it should
Anything's worth trying at this point. Beats using a heat gun which some have suggested. 😬
Personally I really wish Auto designers would come up with a better product that doesn't scratch lol. 🤔
But in my case looking for something to use around my gear shift. They're not deep scratches really.
Just the annoying kind that remind you they're there every time you get in your vehicle lol. This seems like a good solution to try here. :b
Enthusiastic thumps up!!!
It doesnt work for me. Bmw 2014 piano black trim
Dry microfibers can do a lot of damage especially on high gloss or fragile painted surfaces. I prefer to lightly dust the surface and the microfiber I’m working on with water
Yup. Just scratched my new car interior with a microfiber.
great job sir
Thank you for your feedback!
Good video! I'm trying to do the same job, but on a matt silver trim on a 2017 Subaru Outback dashboard (in front of the passenger's seat) which has some light scratches. Problem is it looks like the dark plastic base is barely visible, so I'm afraid it's not just a matter of restoring the shine... Any suggestions to fix it?
You can try the Meguiar's Scratch Remover we used, but that's more for light surface-level scratches. Wouldn't hurt to try! If that doesn't work, you're gonna need something stronger. Maybe a compound of some kind that works in deep scratches. Off-hand, we don't know any, but if the scratch remover doesn't work it may be worth searching around for.
What do you think, can I use another wax? (I have: Collinite 476) to piano black trim. Thank you.
Sure
A small part of my interior trim got burned because of the tree freshener (probably it melt by the sun heat), do you think this will work?
The Meguiars Scratch remover won't work to fix a burn mark. It mostly deals in surface level markings such as light scratches. Your best bet for that is to bring it to a professional.
Not working for me🙁
Hey i was planning on doing this but can i use meguiars compound instead of the scratch x?
IDK but I know this works.
Awesome!
Thank you for your feedback!
Will this work on a brand new audi q5 sportback, the interior trim got scratched by some people washing it.
Yes, and any car.
Question, will this also work on the clear plastic covering the gauges? Same hairline surface scratches are on there plastic.
It might work, but it may look odd after applying. The plastic covering the gauges isn't the same as the interior car trim so while the method described in the video may fill the scratches, it might still be noticeable.
I have used it for this with some success, if you can feel it with your nail its probably too deep. It will improve the appearance in most cases though.
Maguiar's makes a product called "Plastic X". It supposedly removes scratches off of clear plastics.
@@christophermartin4499 yes how to know if wood trim is plastic or clearcoated
Shiny interiors are always easy to get scratches out.. Textured not so easy
Looks nice
Thank you for your feedback!
Thanks for this, I scratched up the panel around my gear shift while cleaning my car, and now every time I look at it I feel bad-- so I'll try this🙂
How did it go?
How was it?
Did this work?
Will this work on clear plastic with scratches on the gear shift console?
Pretty sure this works on gloss plastics with superficial scratches mainly but any smooth plastic is probably fine as long as the scratch isn't deep enough to feel with a fingernail
Can you do the same thing on the Chrome trim as well?
My question as well
Nice 👍
Would this technique work on a scratched car infotainment touch screen?
I got the same question?!
Awesome
That looks like an awesome possibility to correct swirls & scratches
Definitely!
@@AlbanyCountyFasteners The reason is I am thinking if it will work on plastic, pieces you guys tested it on leather, that looks awesome, I want the same results,
NoNoNo not on leather...
Will this work on cup holders?
Probably not. If you want to know for sure, contact the manufacturer.
I tried scratch x with hands. Didn’t work . My scratches is actually not as worse as yours. Not sure why. Does the wax really necessary ? Did i miss something
Don't understand why but Scratch X works great. If you don't see improvement, then something is wrong with the surface you are working on.
@@AlbanyCountyFasteners I also tried it and did not work. I have a 2018 mazda3
Marvelous
Thank you for your feedback!
Will this work on piano black plastic interior. My car has a few light to medium scratches in the gloss black plastic trim. I’m against using fine scratch removers in case it makes the plastic look worse. I’m guessing the bottom panel below the wood effect is actually gloss black plastic.
Jason Banks I just watched this video and I have the exact same question. Wondering if this will work on the piano style plastic in Mercedes C400
Did you find out?
Matthew Smith having same issue with my W205
I can confirm that meguiars scratch X 2.0 worked an absolute treat on my gloss black interior trim.
@@jasonbanks86 I have a 2021 CX 5 Mazda with piano black interior, so did it help with your piano black interior?
Will this work on piano black plastic window trim??
It should.
You might as well use quick detailer that hides most of swirls. Easier and long lasting because its used for interior unlike exterior use
Which quick detailer do you use?
I tried this scratch removal x 2.0, and it did not work by hand.
Thank you for your feedback.
will try in my bmw 2003 :3
Its ok for aluminium part?
Did u ever find out the answer? I have the same question 😂
do you have to use the wax at the end? why do you need it - does it remove more scratches than just the scratch remover compound? Looks to be plenty shiny before you use it.
It's just to add a layer of protection to the panels, it'll help keep future swirls to a minimum!! Hope that helps
2023 $75k fully loaded cadillac escalade scratches so easy. You would think luxury cars are more bulletproof, but they are crazy sensitive. My 2015 kia optima plastics are more scratch resistant, and it only cost me 17k (used) 😂
A late model cadillac is my last thought pf something bulletproof
@@iinrefnaexcept it’s the truck that they literally do bulletproof?
@@qwop8781 i’m pretty sure they mean build wise, like GM being crappy quality
This didnt work for me at all, lol. didnt do anything different, really weird.
