How to Remove Paint Scratches from a Car
Scratches on your car? Annoying but fixable! If you have a light scratch (like those annoying ones from shopping carts or bushes), you can easily buff it out at home. At Feldman Chevrolet of Lansing near Lansing, Grand Ledge, and East Lansing, Michigan, we tell you how.
Read below to learn more about how to remove paint scratches from your car and how our body shop can make your life easier when that happens.
Addressing minor paint scratches promptly can prevent further damage and maintain your car's appearance. Here's how you can tackle them:
- Assess the scratch: Gently run your fingernail over the scratch. If it doesn't catch, it's likely a superficial clear coat scratch. Deeper scratches that catch your nail may require professional attention.
- Clean the area: Before any repair, wash the scratched area with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Dry it thoroughly to prevent any contaminants during the repair process.
- Use a scratch removal product: For light scratches, apply a scratch remover or a mild abrasive polish to a soft cloth. Gently rub the product into the scratch using circular motions. After polishing, wipe away any residue and inspect the area. Repeat as necessary until the scratch diminishes.
Remember, while DIY methods can be effective for minor scratches, deeper or more extensive damage is best handled by professionals, like our team of auto experts at our Chevrolet service center, to ensure a flawless finish.
