There are a few ways that you can remove scratches from your car. If the scratch is minor, you may be able to buff it out with some elbow grease and a polishing compound. More severe scratches will require sanding and repainting.
If you have a small scratch, start by cleaning the area around the scratch with soapy water. Then, apply a generous amount of polishing compound to your fingers or a soft cloth and rub it into the scratch in a circular motion. Continue rubbing until the scratch begins to disappear. Once you’re satisfied with the results, wash off the area with soapy water and dry it off with a clean towel.
If the above method doesn’t work or if you have a larger scratch, you’ll need to do some sanding. Start by cleaning the area around the scratch as before. Then, using 1500 grit sandpaper, wet sand the entire scratched area in a circular motion until it feels smooth to the touch. Be sure to keep the sandpaper wet while you’re working to avoid damaging the paint further.
Once you’ve finished sanding, Wash off the area with soapy water and dry it completely. If necessary, repeat this process until all of the scratches have been removed. Once you’re happy with how things look, apply a fresh coat of paint to blend in any areas that may have been damaged during sanding
