This PPT describes about a how to remove scratches from car. Scratches in car paint can be caused by a variety of things

1. How To Remove
Scratches From Car

2. Determine The Scratch
Determine if the scratch is
actually a scratch and not
just something on the surface
of the paint.
Look at the area close up and
inspect whether you have a
scratch or just debris on your car.
Now What To Do?

3. Establish The Depth Of The Scratch
After you have actually determined
that you do have some scratches
that need repair, you need to
figure out how deep the scratch is.
Now What To Do?
Scratches to the clear coat can be
easily fixed by following these
steps:- clear coat, color, primer
and steel. If the scratch is only as
deep as the clear coat or color, it
will be much easier to remove.

4. Wash And Dry The Car
If your car is dirty during
scratch repair, that dirt
could cause more
scratches to be created.
Pay particular attention
to the area you will be
repairing. Spray the
scratched area with
water, making sure to
get any debris out of the
scratch.

5. Sand The Scratch Lightly
Always sand in the direction of the
scratch.You do not want to create opposing
scratches, which will only create more ridges
and valleys in the paint that need to be
repaired.
Now What To Do?
Periodically rinse the area with water.
This will allow you to better see if you
have gotten to the bottom of the
scratch. If the scratch is slightly
deeper than the clear coat, use
sandpaper initially to level the
surface.

6. Rinse The Area, Making Sure That
It Is Clean And Dry.
Good quality and clean
microfiber clothes to
wipe dry the surface.
Remember that using
old rags could simply
cause more scratches
on the surface of your
car!

7. Apply Rubbing Compound To The
Scratched Areas.
Rubbing compound is an abrasive that takes
off a bit more of the paint surface but it also
smoothes out the paint surface, getting it
ready to be waxed.
Do not turn on the buffer
quite yet but with a
buffer pad spread the
compound around the
area that is dull from
sanding.
Now What To Do?

8. Polish The Area With The Rubbing
Compound.
Turn the buffer on its
lowest level and
move it around for
approximately 10
seconds. You need
to polish the rubbing
compound relatively
quickly, so that it
does not dry before
being smoothed out.

9. Wash The Area Once Again.
Use clean water
and a towel to
remove the leftover
compound residue
from the paint
surface. If the
compound got in
any crevices, use a
toothbrush to clean
it out.

10. Wax The Area To Seal The Paint
You Have Repaired.
If you wax your car regularly,
use your usual method. If
you have never done it
before, consult How to Wax
You Car for suggestions on
how to do it.
Apply a good quality
carnauba wax to the
surface and then buff
the surface with a
random orbital buffer.
Now What To
Do?

11. Finish By Washing The Area One
More Time.
Make sure all of the
scratches are gone
and that the repaired
area is super shiny and
repels water easily.

12. Tips
1. Removing raised marks can be
accomplished by scrubbing the area with a
soapy rag. If that doesn't work, try an
adhesive remover.
2. Even if one end of a scratch is shallow,
the middle or opposite end might be much
deeper. Survey the entire scratch before
deciding how to best remove it.
3. Use your toothpaste! Take a little
amount of toothpaste on a wet cloth and
rub it on the scratch and that's it. It will
definitely help you.

13. How to Remove Scratches from Car
Scratches in car paint

accidents, juvenile
behavior, poor parking,

mishaps are all common
causes for a scratch or
