Default Scratch X not worth it?

Well, judging from the posts using the search option, it seems that Scratch X has been given a bad reputation due to its very brief effect. Has anyone had the same experience? I have a couple swirls and scratches (hairline) and pits (bout half the size of an erasorhead) I need to get rid of these before I wax my rig and I picked up some Meguire's Scratch X today. Anyone have an alternative scratch remover if this stuff turns out to be as bad as they say it is?

3M scratch remover works pretty well for light scratches and scuffs. It is in a little grey bottle.

Meguires > 3M

I like it, and I use it from time to time. No complaints here.

So Meguires "is" 3M or is "just as good as?"

I like the Meguiar's #9 Swirl Mark Remover. It's similar to their Scratch X product. Removes light scratches and swirl marks. It's slightly abrasive (which is what you need to permanently remove those) but fine enough that you can just wax over it when you're done using it (doesn't haze the finish).

Where can I get that stuff and how much does it cost?
