Meguiar’s Quik Scratch Eraser Kit, Car Scratch Remover for Repairing Surface Blemishes, Car Care Kit with ScratchX, Drill-Mounted Pad, and Microfiber Towel, 4 Count by Meguiar’s

Great little kit for taking out scratches on your car. This not meant to be the all inclusive fix but they take out surface problems. Even paint from bumping the garage(me) 🙂

Works very well for superficial scuffs. Works well for very minor scratches – this product didn’t get rid of the scratches, but did buff them enough that scratches were only visible from a very precise angle of view from close up. Does not remove partial or full thickness pain loss or scratches. No damage to my vehicle with heavy use.

I used this product in combination with a paint touch up pen from my vehicle manufacturer to essentially refinish a used truck I just purchased. It looks significantly better than when I bought it.

I recommend this product.

I bought the Meguiar’s Quik Scratch Eraser Kit primarily to deal with some light key marks and annoying swirl marks left by automatic car washes on my daily driver. This kit is a fantastic, convenient package that includes the powerful ScratchX compound, a drill-mounted pad, and a quality microfiber towel.

The Good (Why it earns 4 stars):

This kit is an absolute winner for removing surface blemishes, oxidation, and light clear coat imperfections like fine swirl marks. The ScratchX compound is surprisingly effective and easy to work with. The inclusion of the drill-mounted pad is the key feature here—it saves an immense amount of time and effort compared to working by hand, distributing the product evenly and providing the necessary mechanical agitation without the expense of a dedicated orbital polisher. For those annoying, shallow scratches, it removed about 90% of them quickly, restoring a fantastic depth and clarity to the paint.

The Not Quite Perfect (Why not 5 stars):

The main reason I can’t give this 5 stars is related to the “Quik” promise for anything beyond light scratches. If the scratch is deep enough to catch your fingernail, this kit requires a significant time commitment—you have to make multiple, slow, overlapping passes with consistent pressure. If you rush the process, or if you press too hard, the drill pad can occasionally leave minor hazing or buffer trails that require a final hand buff to correct. It’s a powerful tool, but it demands respect and patience, which slightly contradicts the “Quik” labeling.

Summary:

This is the best DIY solution on the market for erasing light scuffs and perfecting a finish. It provides professional-level results for swirls and minor clear coat damage. Just remember that true, deep scratches are best left to a body shop, or tackled with careful, repeated effort using this kit.

This stuff really works. My daughter scraped the whole passenger side of her green car against a white brick garage to the point that her doors were dented & the scratches were pretty deep in some spots. Her door handle broke and she had deep white scratches all over. It looked very bad so I didn’t think this would help but I figured I should give it a try. I can’t believe it actually took off most of the white paint. I’ll be ordering another kit since I ripped the pad because I was using so much force with my drill against those deep scratches, but there was enough in the bottle to do the entire job. I wish I had some pictures of how bad it was before but you may be able to tell by looking at what’s still there and there’s a picture of the storage unit she scraped it against. I’m sure I would have been able to get more off if I hadn’t ripped the pad. It still looks bad but believe it or not this is a huge improvement lol.
