WD-40, a versatile household product, can be used to address light to medium scratches. It can help soften and reduce the visibility of scratches. Here’s how to use WD-40 for scratch removal:

• Wash your car before applying WD-40.
• Spray a small amount of WD-40 onto the scratched area.
• Use a microfiber cloth to gently buff the scratched surface in circular motions.
• This method can help fade out scratches and enhance the appearance of your car.

4. Shoe Polish

Car wax and shoe polish can be effective for removing car scratches. If using shoe polish, ensure it’s slightly darker than the car’s original paint color. Follow these steps:

• Clean the scratched area with soap and water.
• Apply the shoe polish to the scratch.
• Sand the area gently after applying the polish to help even out the surface.
• Buff the area to a smooth finish.

5. Nail Polish

Nail polish is a versatile DIY option due to its wide range of colors. This method can effectively cover scratches on various paint colors. Follow these steps:

• Choose a nail polish color that matches your car’s paint.
• Apply even and light coats of nail polish to the scratched area.
• Allow each coat to dry before applying additional coats if needed.

Test the nail polish color on a piece of paper, as it may change slightly when dried.

Remember that the effectiveness of these methods may vary based on the severity of the scratches and the type of paint used on your car. Always perform a patch test in an inconspicuous area before applying any products to the scratched surface. If the scratches are deep or extensive, professional help may be required for optimal results.
