Quixx Paint Scratch Remover Reviews
I ordered this stuff through an Amazon affiliate and I am amazed. From both having a door ding from some careless putz and a scratch from a runaway shopping cart- I couldn’t be more happy. Effortless. I followed the directions (a little bit goes a long way) and the scratches (the door ding went through several layers) went to as good as new. A definite 5/5.
I bought this scratch remover to take care of several scratches and scuff marks on my doors and fenders. The product has easy to follow instructions and gave me no problems. I was a little nervous about using the sandpaper, but after I was done the difference was amazing. This product works far better than any of those large industrial size scratch removers. It may be a small package but I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Last week I bought a lovely, lo-mileage 2006 Mercury Mountaineer. During the test drive, however, I observed many pencil thin and razor scratches on the left side extending along the driver’s door to the front left fender. They were ugly cosmetic marks extending over an area of about 8 feet in length, patchy, scratchy, annoying marks, and I almost didn’t buy the vehicle. But in the end I did because it worked great and was exceptional value.
However, I was still bothered by the scratches. I started to research scratch removal and within a few days I’d covered a lot of the scratch market products. Then I stumbled on QUIXX acrylic remover at a local chain auto store which piqued my curiosity. But before I even used it, I researched further and found the QUIXX paint scratch remover. This looked remarkable and I wasn’t sure if I really believed it and the company’s talk about “plastic deformation” technology. But I bought that too despite its relatively hefty price tag of about $17.
As I write this review, I have applied the QUIXX paint scratch remover with great success. Yesterday, I rolled up my sleeves and went to work in my usual dedicated amateur fashion. I’ve never restored anything, least of all paintwork on a vehicle, but I take much care of my vehicles and I am persistent and careful in general. I applied the QUIXX exactly as instructed. After 7-10 minutes, I was done and stood back. And I was disappointed as heck! Those scratches remained as visible and prominent as ever. What kind of joke product was this, I asked myself?
I nearly gave up right then and there. But then it occurred to me that since these were mostly real scratches that I owned, i.e., they were NOT paint scratched from somebody else’s vehicle as I had initially suspected, maybe I should re-apply the stuff and work it through once again. I’d read about folks using compound removers and polishers repeatedly over a single area who had great success. So I started over.
I repeated the procedure and stood back again after another 7-10 minutes. I wasn’t sure if I detected a difference but somehow the scratches appeared to be thinner. They were still visible and as long as ever but they were now less “angry” and less evident, just slightly so.
I went through 4 more re-application cycles over the next one hour and when I was finished, blow me down if the entire side of the vehicle didn’t look nearly brand new. At this stage, the scratches are 90% gone on the driver’s door and about 75% gone on the front left fender. And I mean “gone” as in disappeared–pretty much vanished.
There were some scratches (there were probably 6-8 scratches or scratch areas I worked on in total) that did in fact disappear as I rubbed them for the very first time. You could actually see the mineral gray clearcoat finish “bleed” into the scratches as I wiped over again and again and again, just as instructed. This deformation technology was working before my very eyes as I applied the stuff. I was impressed, indeed, fairly amazed.
No heavy rubbing with heavy abrasive compounds. This was repeated rubbing with a bit of effort and focus, rubbing and rubbing and rubbing systematically, but not with heavy duty muscle power. I was using the vehicle’s own existing paint to re-finish the scratched areas.
I shall re-inspect the SUV later today and re-apply as required. But I am satisfied that this has already saved me hundreds of dollars, if not more, in professional touch-up and refinishing work. I bet I would have been quoted for re-spraying the door and fender. So the product has paid for itself many times over even by now. I am sold on the product and very pleased.
