Love the clay bar. But have one question.
I used a clay bar for the first time and couldn't believe the dirt and grime that came off the car even after a wash. A big time fan if it. I was hoping it might help get a scratch off of my car along with a wax but no such luck. The link below has an image of the scratch I'm referring to. Fortunately, it's not deep and looks like it's just superficial. What would be the best product to use to remove this?

It looks like someone swiped it with their side view mirror.

Yeah I think i need to try ScratchX. I waxed with Meguiar's Polish and it's a little better but still noticeable. When using ScratchX I'm assuming i should wax afterwards to give it a good shine right?

you say its not deep, but it doesn't look like a scratch, looks like something rubbed against the paint. I agree with above post, try a good wax cleaner. I have no experience with scratchx.

Meguiar's has a new rubbing compound that is quite good at removing bonded contaminants, including areas rubbed by other painted surfaces. I think it's supposed to take the place of their traditional "cleaner/wax."
When I fully detail a car, I strip all existing wax/polish with dish soap, then clay bar the car (except for the panels below the body side moldings, which I use a tar remover down there before the clay bar), then a swirl remover, then 2 coats of polish, then a good wax. Results are always pleasing.
