It’s not very difficult to effectively fix scratches on car paint and make your vehicle look like new. In fact, with a few simple techniques, anybody can do it, even if they don’t have any previous experience.
But make no mistake: there is a right way to do it, and a LOT of wrong ways.
Before you waste money on useless (potentially harmful) products, or spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a professional auto detailing service, make sure you know what you’re getting into. You can easily remove those scratches yourself – and do just as good of a job as the professionals – without breaking the bank or ending up with a bucket of junk products from the store.
1) A brush of touch-up paint.
There are a few things wrong with this approach. First, chances are you don’t need touch up paint at all. The vast majority of car scratches (about 80-90%, in fact) are in the top clear coat – NOT in the color layer. That means they can typically be removed with a simple polishing technique alone – no paint needed. Second, you should never use the brush that comes with a bottle of touch up paint. Using that brush will apply way too much paint and result in an ugly blob.
2) Magic Scratch Remover Pen
Sorry, but a magic pen will not help you fix scratches on car paint. Don’t be tempted by the “low, low price” of the scratch removing pens you see on TV and in stores. All they do is apply a clear bump of acrylic on your vehicle. The scratch is still there, and it will show up again soon after. Good gimmick, bad waste of money.
3) Cheap store-bought items.
Your local auto parts store will be happy to sell you any number of their hundreds of scratch-removal products. But the vast majority of these products are ineffective and not a complete solution to permanently fix scratches on car paint. In fact, many of them could make the problem worse. Think about it: do you think the professionals make a trip to their local Pep Boys when they work on people’s cars? Nope, and you shouldn’t either.
