How to Fix a Scratch on a Car With a Scratch Remover

Cars get scratched. Driving down the highway, pulling out of a parking spot, or leaving it unattended in the mall parking garage are all common ways for a car to get scratched. You will often find scratches on the bumper, around the handles and keyholes, and near the tires. There are many household remedies to fix a scratch on a car, but those remedies can take quite a bit of time to work, if they work at all. If you find a scratch on your car, a basic scratch removal kit is a good way to get rid of it.

Things You'll Need

• Shammy cloth
• Scratch kt
• Cotton cloth
• Liquid car wax

Instructions

1. Wash the scratched area with warm,soapy water. Rinse clean and dry with a shammy cloth. If you do not have a shammy cloth, a towel will work.

2. Apply a small amount of the scratch remover cream to your finger tip and wipe over the scratch.

3. Buff the scratch remover into the scratch using a soft cotton cloth. Use a quick, circular motion, with medium to firm pressure. Buff the entire scratch and the area surrounding it. If the scratch is still present, repeat the process.

4. Wet the second cloth and wipe it over the previously scratched area. Dry with a shammy cloth or hand towel.

5. Apply a liquid car wax to the previously scratched area if it looks dull. To apply, squirt the liquid car wax on to a wash cloth and apply it to the dull area. Buff away using quick, circular motions with medium pressure.
