What can be used to remove scratches on a black car?

Scratches on a black car can be removed using scratch wax of a similar color and touch-up paint pens. For minor scratches like swirl marks that only damage the surface layer of the paint, which cause minimal harm to the paint, they can be eliminated by waxing. Choose scratch wax that closely matches the black color, then use a waxing sponge to polish the scratched area, remembering to apply in one direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise. Afterward, apply polishing wax for shine. Automotive paint is a protective film sprayed onto cars, serving as a type of coating that makes the car body less susceptible to corrosion and enhances its aesthetic appeal. Different automotive paints produce different effects.
Last time my black car got several white scratches from tree branches, which broke my heart. I used scratch wax, gently rubbing in circles, and the shallow scratches were all removed. For deeper ones, a touch-up pen is needed - first clean the scratched area, shake the pen well, then apply it bit by bit, and polish after it dries. Remember to use a soft cloth when polishing and don’t press too hard, or the paint will get damaged. Usually, avoid parking near hedges as branches leave marks most easily. Also, use a dedicated sponge for car washing, as ordinary cloths may carry sand particles that can leave scratches with just one wipe. Black car paint shows marks the most, so it requires extra careful maintenance.
