Can Scratch Wax Remove Scratches?
1 Answers
Scratch wax is the best solution for removing scratches without color difference, aside from repainting. Scratch wax essentially functions like a polisher, similar to sandpaper, exerting a physical effect on the car's paint surface. If the vehicle's scratches have not damaged the primer and there are no dents on the paint surface, they can be repaired by repeatedly wiping with a towel and scratch wax. When using scratch wax, it's important to control the frequency of waxing. Depending on the driving environment and parking locations, the interval between waxing should vary. You can also judge by touch; generally, when the body feels rough to the touch, it's time to rewax. Before waxing, clean the car's surface of dirt and dust with water, dry it thoroughly, and then apply the wax in a shady area to prevent the car body from heating up. As temperature rises, the adhesion of the wax decreases, affecting the quality of the waxing. After waxing, some wax residue may remain in the gaps of the car lights, license plate, doors, and trunk. If not cleaned promptly, these residues can cause rust. After using scratch wax, the car's paint surface may become matte to varying degrees. As mentioned earlier, the principle of scratch wax is similar to sandpaper—it uses fine particles to grind the areas with minor scratches on the car's paint surface to make them smooth. When applying scratch wax, it doesn't just target the specific scratch but affects the entire waxed area with abrasive action. Therefore, although the scratches disappear after using scratch wax, the waxed area's paint surface will not be as shiny as before.
