Light Scratch - paint restoration
seckles:
Keep trying with the ScratchX - you do need to rub it in for ages and give it a few goes! You could also try applying it with one of these http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/accessories/ultimate-german-applicator/prod_280.html which apparently do help, but I've never used one.
Can you feel the scratches with your fingernail? If so, then there's no chance you'll get them out by hand polishing. If not, then you should be able to get rid of them with a bit of hard graft!

Has anyone else had good results with megs scracth X? I've got some and can't get any marks out at all with it despite rubbing away like crazy with it (on the paint, not myself!) for ages. I've even tried it with my rotary polisher and it doesn't seem to do anything at all :confused:

They look like they should polish out without too much drama. With regard ScratchX i think the AG Paint Renovator is the AG equivalent so if you have one then i dont think its worth going to get the other as its the same product by different companies.
As said above, aside from making sure the area is properly clean it will probably just require some elbow grease if you're not using a machine, just be careful as obviously using abrasives on the paintwork will be taking layers off and although tiny amounts, it all adds up and you dont want to end up with an even worse situation.

I've used it before on the light scratches you get under door handles and it did remove some of them, i think they have a new formula out now ScratchX 2.0 which is meant to be better but ive always been happy with AG TBH and its usually more reasonably priced.
JPC:
I think you will be better using a product that will fill rather than be abrasive. Purely for the fact that, you are just NOT going to touch the paintwork on a golf by hand.
Another reason, i see so many cars where the owner tried to get rid of things by hand and ended up putting more serious marks into the paintwork.
I can completely understand owners wanting to try themselves by hand, but it normally ends up worse.
So, Id recommend Auto Glym Super Resin Polish, then a wax.
