How do you know if you can remove a scratch with a product like ScratchX? Run your fingernail over the scratch. If you can feel it, that typically means too much paint has been removed, and you may be able to lessen the appearance. If you can see the scratch but can't feel it, this typically means you can remove it with a scratch remover or light compound. #meguiars #howto #polishingcompound #ReflectYourPassion
