How to remove scratches on the car without paint

Even the most cautious and careful drivers often notice that their cars have scratches. There are many factors that can cause mechanical damage to the paintwork.

Shallow scuffs and scratches can be removed even without painting. Read the OBOZREVATEL article about the most popular ways to remove small and large ones.

How to get rid of surface scuffs and microscratches

A fine-grained polishing paste or polish containing abrasive powder will help get rid of surface scuffs and microscratches.

According to experts, it is best to use a wax polish, but you should not expect long-term results from this emergency method. Defects will reappear over time, so you will need to repeat the procedure periodically.

You can also use an abrasive paste. Wash the car thoroughly and dry it completely. Use a damp cloth to clean the scratch from dust and dirt and wipe it dry. Only then can the abrasive paste be applied to the polishing wheel. Polish the cracks and scratches evenly without focusing on one place too much.

Life hacks for deep scratches

Exposed metal is susceptible to corrosion, so deep scratches should be removed promptly to avoid rust. Corrosion will quickly increase the depth of the damage.

The polishing procedure described above can be used as an emergency. Experts also recommend trying a special touch-up pen.

How to use the pen

Step 1. Wash the car. Degrease and clean the scratch from dirt and dust.

Step 2. Experts recommend using masking tape. It should be glued to the areas around the defect. This will help you to stay within the scratch while working.

Step 3. Choose the right color of the pen and apply it to the scratched area with a brush. It should dry in 20-30 minutes.

Important note: after using the pen, it is not recommended to wash the car for the next ten days. This is to avoid disrupting the polymerization process. And if the surface is accidentally damaged again, you can repeat the procedure in 10 days.

How to remove scratches on the glass

Apply a paste to the glass polisher and lightly run over the damaged surface several times. No need to press hard. At the end, wipe the surface and wash off the remaining paste.
