How to Safely Remove Fine Scratches from Your Car Paint

Scratches will ruin the aesthetic appeal of any car. These scratches range in size from tiny to large range damage causing your car's paint job to look less than ideal. Luckily there are products available to not only fix these scratches but to also make it appear that they never happened in the first place. 

Supplies:



  • Sponges or rags

  • Mop bucket

  • Garden hose

  • Car wash or cleanser

  • Hot water

  • Sham-Wow or towels

  • Auto scratch repair kit



  1. Fill the mop bucket with hot water and car wash and/or cleanser. Ensure that the combination is properly mixed. 

  2. Dip the sponges or rags into this combination and begin washing your car from one end to the other. Ensure that you clean the entire surface area not only the areas in which scratches appear. 

  3. Rinse the car wash and/or cleanser completely off your car using the garden hose. If you are unsure that all of this cleanser is off your car rinse it an additional time. 

  4. Use the Sham-Wow or several towels to dry the entire surface area of your car. Ensure that your car's surface is not damp in any areas. 

  5. Open the auto scratch repair kit and review the instructions printed on the packaging. 

  6. Begin applying this auto scratch repairing agent to each affected area of your car's surface according to the instructions you read in step 5. Continue applying this auto scratch repair agent until all affected areas are treated.
