Mother nature, lousy car washing, lousy drivers, or even our kids are common causes for car scratches. We get you. Noticing just a tiny scratch on our car hurts. But there are plenty of ways to remove these and pretend nothing happened. Here's a guide to eliminating the car's minor scratches. 


However, before we start, remember this: If you are not comfortable about removing them yourself, it's better to contact a professional
car detailing company. They have the professional tools and expertise to make your car look as good as new. Now, let's begin. 


Identifying Small Car Scratches

This article aims to remove those scratches that are not big enough to stop your fingernails and that have slightly damaged your cars clear coat. But before we start attempting to remove those hideous scratches, the first step is to wash your car. 


Materials

The materials we'll need are:

  • Microfiber towels - make sure they are clean. 
  • Electric car polisher
  • A soft polishing pad
  • A finishing polish 
  • A car wax or sealant


What We Do 

Here's the step by step process: 

  1. Dab 3-4 pea-sized beads onto the polishing pad and apply the polish directly onto the affected area.
  2. Using low speed, gently work the polish into the paint in a cross hatch pattern. Do not let the polisher spin in one spot too long as you can damage your paint system.
  3. Remove the residue with the microfiber towel. 
  4. Repeat this method a couple of times until all of the affected areas look better
  5. Once all residue is wiped off, spray the wax or sealant onto a clean towel
  6. Let haze, and gently buff off with another clean microfiber towel
