The Free Trick to Remove Scratches from Your Car: It Will Look Like New Again in a Few Minutes

This trick works best on minor, surface-level scratches. Avoid using toothpaste on deep scratches or areas with exposed metal. After treatment, wash your car normally and reapply wax every few weeks to maintain the shine and protect the paint.

Variations:

Instead of toothpaste, baking soda mixed with a little water can also act as a gentle abrasive.

For larger scratches, consider combining this method with a scratch removal kit available at auto stores.

Some people use DIY scratch remover blends with household oils like coconut oil, but these are best for polishing rather than actual scratch removal.

FAQ:
Will toothpaste work on deep scratches?
No, toothpaste is effective only for light surface scratches. Deep scratches may require professional repair or specialized products.

Can this method damage my car’s paint?
When done gently, toothpaste is safe for car paint, but avoid aggressive rubbing or using abrasive cloths that could worsen the damage.

How often can I use this method?
It’s safe to use occasionally when needed, but regular waxing and proper car care will help prevent scratches from appearing in the first place.
