Toothpaste can remove minor scratches on car paint, but it cannot remove deeper scratches. The principle of using toothpaste to remove scratches is similar to waxing. Toothpaste contains some abrasive components that can polish and smooth out minor scratches on the paint surface. Toothpaste also contains abrasives, just like professional scratch wax and touch-up pens, which have a polishing effect. For small scratches that are only visible when viewed under reflection, applying toothpaste, brushing it gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush in a clockwise motion for several seconds, and then wiping it clean with a damp cloth can significantly fill in the scratches. However, if the scratches are deeper, it is recommended that car owners visit an auto detailing shop for polishing or repainting to prevent further damage to the car paint.
