How to Repair Scratches in My Truck Paint
Have you looked at your truck and noticed scratches in the paint? Do you wash and wax your truck and see that you can’t get rid of tiny swirls or scratches from the paint? With the proper products, you can get rid of the scratches on the truck’s surface.
Supplies:
- Good quality terrycloth towel
- Microfiber towel
- Meguiar's ScratchX™ or any scratch removing product
- Clean, foam applicator pad
- Wash the entire truck. Even if you think your truck is clean already, you still need to wash the truck. There are elements in the air and environment that can chemically bond to the truck's paint surface. Washing the car will assist in removing dust, pollen, and debris.
- Dry off the vehicle completely. You don't want to start treating the scratched areas of the truck’s surface until it is completely dry. If there is any soap or water left from the wash, it could dilute or ruin the effectiveness.
- Put on a high quality car care product such as Meguiar's ScratchX™ or another brand on the foam applicator pad. Other products you can use include Mother's, Eagle One, and Turtle Wax.
- Use a dime size amount of scratch remover on the applicator pad. Rub the product into the damaged area until it is completely covered. It will look like the product is filling in the hairline scratches, but it is really removing the top layer of the car's paint.
- Work in the product on the damaged areas of the truck's surface and use a clean cloth to polish the area with a nice spray wax.
