Autoglym Scratch Remover on a whole car??

[P.Patrick17]

If i want to remove swirl marks + other light scratches from a car is it ok to use autoglym scratch remover across the whole car. Considered the super resin polish but was put off by the fillers. I want to remove swirls not fill them in temporarily. I plan to hand polish

Many Thanks

Buy a DAS-6 pro polishing machine, or you'll be there all year doing it by hand. Not an expensive machine, and ideal for the beginner

I have used G3 scratch remover and it is amazing stuff, I imagine Autoglym is same stuff.


It was so good i used did the 4 stage process (wash/prep, scratch remover, buff, wax) on the majority of my car and it was immaculately shiny after...it was a full day and my arm was in bits after

id recommend getting a buffing machine if you re doing a large area

I've never had much joy with removing scratches with any product, currently trying Gtechniq but results are not outstanding. I don't have the talent or bottle to use a DA polisher, but SRP is mildly abrasive and will fill swirls until the next wash.

I'd suggest you think again before trying to do it by hand. It will take forever, and there is also the danger that you might introduce scratches/swirls by spending so much time leaning over the bodywork.

Are you confusing a DA with a rotary polisher? You need neither talent nor bottle to use a DA. It is almost impossible to wreck you car with one unless you use it like a hammer. Just ensure that everything is spotless, clean the pads regularly and Bob's your proverbial. I'd suggest you look on YouTube for some tips (Mike Phillips is a good place to start) but it is not difficult or risky if you keep away from the harder cutting compounds.

You can get a kit from someone like Slim's Detailing which would include all the compounds and polishes that you would need. IIRC, there is one with small bottles from the Koch Chemie range which might suit.
