As a car owner, you would most certainly want your car to remain scratch-free and shiny. But it may not be as simple to keep it unscathed.
You may be careful not to leave any scratches on your car surface, but someone else may accidentally scratch your car.
The cost to repair the scratches on your car depends on how serious they are. Some people would just ignore the scratches.
But honestly, car scratches are not a cause for worry as they can be fixed. In fact, you can remove the scratches without sending your car to a workshop.
Read on as we share some valuable tips you may use.
Use WD-40 spray
WD-40 is a solution to various problems related to specks of dirt. It can remove rust, dirt, chewing gum stains, among others.
You may get this spray from MR.DIY for only RM15. It is easy to remove scratch marks using the WD-40 spray following these steps:
- First, clean the car surfaces with water to remove coarse dirt
- Spray a small amount of the WD-40 on the scratch marks
- Rub the scratch marks gently using a sponge
- Pay attention to the colour of the sponge when rubbing the surfaces. If the sponge absorbs your car paint, that means you are rubbing the surfaces too hard
