Blown away!
I am thoroughly impressed with this product. My 3 year old playfully placed a 4 foot long scratch on the front and back passenger doors on my 2006 BMW 330i with a rock that he found in the yard. I did some googling and online research on paint scratch repair and came across the reviews on Quixx Paint Scratch Remover. Granted, I was moderately skeptical at first because of the few negative reviews on the product. But I ended up purchasing the product to try out. I figured that even if it doesn't work, it's only $15. Boy was I surprise. I took the advise of some of the folks with positive reviews and spent my time and effort rubbing the product over the scratch. Since my repair area was a 4 foot long defect, it took me darn near half an hour to rub out the scratch. But when I was done, the scratch was imperceivable by anyone who had no prior knowledge of its presence. I reckon that if I had spent an extra 20 minutes and another tube of #1, I would be able to make the defect entirely undetectable. I suppose that I could spot it if I look really hard because I know where the scratch was. Heck, I spent half an hour rubbing it after all. I showed my wife the passenger side after the job was done and she couldn't locate the scratch at all. All in all, the product does exactly what it claims it can do. The nay-sayers most likely had not followed the instructions explicitly or were trying to repair deep scratches that are beyond the intended capabilities of the product. For light to medium scratches, I highly recommend!

Just follow the simple directions and this stuff really works. Don't forget to follow with a nice coat of wax.
P.S. Don't forget the elbow grease; lay your back into it!

BEST ONE EVER
Some AXX HOLE recently keyed my brand new G37s on the hood. First, I tried to use GS27 remover, but it didn't work and also left some white compounds on the hood. After research some reviews online, I've decided to give Quixx a shot. Guess what? IT DID AN AMAZING JOB,but I also spent a while to get the procedures done. Of course, you must have a little patient to get the job done.

Quixx Paint Scratch Remover Review
The product worked just as it said. I accidentally put some scratches on my 2005 Acura TL after ice covered my car. I used the Quixx scratch remover by the directions and the scratches are now gone. Very good product for the price and will definitely use again.

Excelente
Excelente!, it does its work as advertized, you will not see any trace of the scratch after the treatment. Thanks for the product my car looks like new again.

Quixx paint scratch remover AWESOME!!
to try this inexpensive option?
Well, it takes some circular rubbing- by finger tip or thumb tip inside the cloth they provide- and you might tire your arm out a bit, but just follow the instructions and the moderate scratch will magically DISAPPEAR! My paint is metallic, so I thought it won't work....WRONG. I think a really deep scratch can't be treated, but my scratch appeared as a thin white line along a brown metallic door and side panels. You may need to do it for 1-2 minutes on the first tube, then wipe with wet towel and dry, then apply the buffer tube #2. YOU SHOULD ONLY WORK ON ABOUT 4-6 INCHES AT A TIME. Sand paper is provided for deeper scratches, which I didn't have to use....just follow instructions. Well worth $20 including shipping....!!!
This is a super product for these scratches!! Major home run for the manufacturer in Germany!

Amazing product
I was very pleased with the product.
The instructions were very simple to follow and the results were
excellent.
The only critisim I have the sand paper that was suppose to be enclosed
was not. It didn't matter since the scratches were not that deep.
I recommended the product to my co-worker who also purchased it.
Thanks for a great product

Better than I expected
I bought this car for one specific mark on my car that I assume came from a car door or shopping cart. I was n ot expecting it to get the scratch at based on other reviews, but it worked amazing! Not only did that scratch dissappear instantly, but I used it on a bunch of other minor scratches on my car. This product is nothing short of amazing. I highly reccomend it for others.

It really works
I was really surprised that this actually works. I had a scratch and it took it our no problem. I will say however, that you arm does get a little tired from rubbing but it's worth it. This is a must have!

It Works
I had some scratches that were deep enough to feel with your fingernail. After some very firm rubbing as instructed the scratches were gone. It does take quite a bit more time and effort than the instructions say but it worked great for me and I am 100% satisfied. I did not even bother to use the step #2 compound. P.S. The car dealer said they could not rub out those scratches and that I would have to bring the car in for re-spraying in those areas.

Great product!!!
Great product! I had some scratches here and there and i was able to make my car look at least 4 years younger (2004 Golf IV). :D I will keep this in my car kit for the upcoming years. :D

Good for scratch removal on the PS3
I had some bad scratches and swirls on my PS3 and I was wondering what I could use in order to get rid of them. On Youtube.com, I saw a man use Quixx on his PS3. After his demonstration, the PS3 was scratch-free and had a glossy shine. I bought some at Wal-Mart and used it on my PS3. It really works. All of the scratches and swirls are gone from my PS3. Therefore, if you are looking for a way to remove scratches off of your PS3, get Quixx.

Works as advertised
I've used this product and it's work great at removing some pretty noticeable scratches. Keep in mind that this product is a polish and will take some elbow grease to get your scratches out. At first I wasn't impressed, but once I started to add a bit of pressure in my polishing, the difference in the scratch became immediately apparent. Tube 1 in the package is a fairly aggressive polish used to remove the scratch. Tube 2 is a finishing polish to bring your paint back to its original shine.
For the reviews that have given this product a low rating, its mostly likely because they have not be aggressive enough in their scratch polishing. A little more pressure and elbow grease will get the scratches out.

Outstanding!
My Mondeo had a HUGE scuff on the nearside wing and plastic bumper - a right eyesore. Much of it was transferred surface paint from a half-blown-over picket fence, but it had certainly scuffed up the paint.
After patiently working away with the wet & dry, I had removed the visible paint residue, and I evened out the paint, working in small circles with the sandpaper and using plenty of water.
Then, on with Quixx 1, again rubbing in small circles. Then wash off and do the same with Quixx 2. I'm not kidding, apart from a couple of spots in the bumper I had to touch up, the ugly wing & bumper looked like new. Great stuff, and it only took me just over 30 minutes. A small scratch must only take a couple.

Awesome
I got this at Pep Boys for $15, to remove a few scratches on my Porsche. It took me about 5 minutes to make a few normal depth 1" long scratches disappear. If you look very, very closely you can still see a small out line, but it is hardly noticeable and it could probably be removed completely with some wet sanding. I was also shocked that it worked some well on a dark blue car. Normally, scratch removers aren't that great on dark colors but the Quixx works wonders.
This is well worth the $15 to get rid of scratches instead of just filling them. I would recommend this to all my friends!

Works well
Bought a used car with a few scuffs and buffer scratches that I didn't notice until a few days after I got the car home. A couple of them were fairly large. Drove me nuts having to look at them. None were through the clear coat that I could tell, but looked pretty close.
I've used a number of other products on vehicles I have owned in the past. Trying to remove ugly spots from those cars usually resulted in the area looking worse. The product used was either too powerful, I rubbed too long or the finish was dulled so much that fine polishing products would not bring back the gloss to match the surrounding paint. The end result was I made a mild blemish into a big ugly spot.
I was concerned I would repeat those mistakes again. It's been a long time since I needed to do some scratch removal, so I did some research and settled on QUIXX. The results are amazing. Buffer marks and scuffs that I had at best hoped would just be made less noticeable are completely gone. It took me about an hour to get all the spots I had done, but you will notice improvement within a minute or two of rubbing.
I highly recommend this stuff. It will not replace missing paint, but if the damage is limited to the clear coat this product will remove or minimize the blemish without the risk of doing further damage.

It worked flawlessly on dark color
I had a 4 inches scratch on my hood of my brand new VW Passat. Although it was a very thin line it still could catch my nail. First I didn't want to use something abrasive on the new paint but trying to fill the scratch didn't work with oridinary waxes. I wanted to use something recommended by many users, and tested againts others, and found this test winner product.
Application was easy. You have to rub with polish for about 1-2 minutes, till you see the scratch is gone, then clean the surface and apply the wax. I used a terry cloth for rubbing. The scratch on my dark blue car was all gone in 5 minutes.
I also would like to try the polish sold in larger amounts for my dated car. You can feel that it is safe to use and still working. Help other custo

Quixx is very impressive
I wish I had taken a before and after picture of the job Quixx did on a deep scratch on my vehicle.
I bought Quixx after someone "keyed" my recently purchased Jeep Liberty. I was certain I would have to live with the obvious eyesore, but went online and found Quixx and the product reviews.
The effectiveness of Quixx is great. I am no handyman, so I needed something that didn't involve lots of complicated instructions. I used the two tubes of the product as instructed--repeated the process a second time using the wettened sandpaper (rubbing very lightly as written) and watched the deep scratch disappear. Full disclosure: if you get down on your hands and knees and look hard, you can eventually find the rekains of the scratch, but WOW--if you had seen it before, you'd be as happy as I am.
Got a significant scratch on your rig that is driving you nuts? Buy this product. Consumer Reports recommends it, and so do I.

Works as Advertised - Two Thumbs Up
This product works as advertised and exceeded my expectations. I used Quixx to remove scratches on the front fender of a Harley-Davidson Road King Classic. The fender's color was Vivid Black. For non-motorcycle people, the Harley fenders are painted sheet metal just like your car and cost nearly $500 to replace. Fixing and painting yourself is not an option unless you work in a paint shop.
I had just replaced a dented and scratched fender with a brand new fender from the factory and you guessed it...I scratched the new fender during installation.
Using Quixx I worked real slow and deliberate following the instructions to the letter. First used Polish 1 then Finish 2. It took 3 passes with Polish 1 then Finish 2 to remove the scratches and I gained confidence with applying elbow grease pressure with each pass. Each pass received greater pressure until I achieved the results I was expecting. I have to use a magnifying glass under direct sunlight to find where the scratches used to be...and this is on black paint with clear coat. (Scratches on black paint are the most difficult to make disappear.)
Ignore the reviews where people rated this product 3, 2, or 1 stars. Their low ratings are a disconnect in their expectation of how this product should perform or their perception of the severity of their scratch. They have perceived they have a "light scratch" but in reality they have a pretty deep gouge that probably needs to be sanded an painted.
Quixx has a web site that describes the types and depths of scratches you can treat, how to use their product, and what to expect as results. Their flash demos and video on using the product are very informative. The graphics on scratch geometry through clear coat, paint, primer, and down to metal will help you understand what is fixable and what may not be fixable with their product.
The scratches I repaired apparently were limited to the clear coat layer of paint so I was very fortunate and achieved stellar results. If your scratch reaches the paint layer you will probably get good results. If the scratch is deep to the primer layer then you will most likely need a different and more expensive solution. Think about it....your paint is yellow and your primer is red. This product will not make the red primer turn yellow to repair your scratch if the scratch is all the way to the primer.
I highly recommend this product for minor scratch repair or reducing the ugliness of more severe scratches.

Works very well indeed - Very satisfied - Requires effort
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.

Good product for the price
After reading reviews of this product on Amazon, I decided to give it a try. It worked perfectly on the tiny scratches in the paint that did not expose any primer. For bigger scratches where I could see the primer, I used cream #1 multiple times (up to 7) to get rid of them. On those scratches, it probably got rid of about 80% of them. For deep scratches, such as key marks, it really didn't work that well on its own. I followed the advice of another reviewer, and painted first with a matching auto paint I bought at Walmart. Let it dry, then I sanded it with the 3000 grit paper and used cream #1 several times. Finished up with cream #2 and the key mark was noticeably improved. Definitely not perfect, but I would say it worked as well as my neighbor's $400 car buffer, for only $14. I would recommend this product to anyone trying to get rid of small scratches cheaply. Also -- you have to rub in cream #1 really hard!

Great job!!
This product did a great job, my truck had bad scratches on it and this product took them all out and helped bring it back to almost new condition-good for a 7 year old truck!! would buy it again.

Couldn't have asked for a better product
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.

Scratch fix(x)
My first and only, thus far, fix was on my BMW wagon. It was scratched by a careless person operating a grocery cart where I was shopping.
Following the instructions that came with this product, the scratch was removed in its entirety.
