Car Scratch Removal: Home Items You Should Never Use

Published

on

Car scratches occur frequently, and the damage must be fixed, particularly if you are among those who find unsightly lines on your car’s bodywork or plastic unacceptable.

Discover how you can repair this damage and what you should never do. Instead of going to a mechanic right away, you can fix minor scratches yourself using a polishing cloth.

The German Automobile Club (ADAC) firmly advises against various DIY methods for handling car scratches. Instead, opt for more effective solutions to remove those unsightly marks from your vehicle.





One of the suggested quick fixes is toothpaste. The small particles are supposed to smooth out surface scratches. But only in theory… ADAC explains that many toothpastes contain too coarse particles that would only further damage the car’s paint. Also, nail polish is almost useless because it comes off quickly. A little rain and it’s over.

What can help with car scratches?

These include primarily a scratch pen (you can choose one that matches your vehicle’s colour), car polish, repair kits that usually contain two different polishes, a sanding cloth, and a polishing cloth. If you don’t want to pay for a service, you can repair small scratches yourself.
