4. Shoe polish
You can use car wax to help eliminate many auto scratches. If you don’t have any on hand, shoe polish stands in as an excellent replacement. The editor at Autos.com recommends using a shoe polish slightly darker than your existing paint color. After cleaning the area with soap and water, you apply the polish and lightly sand the scratch away.
5. Super glue
Once applied, super glue will self-level. The ability to smooth itself makes super glue a quick and easy way to reduce the appearance of a light scratch in the clear coat of your auto paint, according to Gravity Autos Roswell. The key is to just fill the scratched area with a small amount of super glue and then let it level itself out. Remember, you can always add more, but it is difficult to remove too much.
6. Nail polish
The wide variety of available colors makes nail polish a quick and handy way to cover an auto scratch. DentGoalie suggests using light, even coats of nail polish to cover scratches that won’t buff out with other methods.
Pro tip: Keep in mind that polish often dries to a slightly different color than it appears in the bottle. Paint a bit on a piece of paper, let dry and then see if it matches before applying to your vehicle.
