How to Repair Minor Scratches on a Car?

[LouisLee]

Methods to deal with scratches on a car are as follows: Hairline Scratches: Hairline scratches can usually be removed by polishing or applying a rubbing compound. A gentle wipe is often enough to make them disappear. Light Scratches: For light scratches, a tube of toothpaste is usually sufficient. Toothpaste is very effective in dealing with shallow scratches that haven't damaged the car's primer. It can especially remove traces left by other vehicles' paint during minor collisions or residues from adhesive products like stickers, cleaning most of them thoroughly. Moderate to Deep Scratches: Moderate and deep scratches cannot be repaired by polishing. For small dents not exceeding 5mm, they can be leveled by filling with putty before repainting.
