Will car polish remove scratches?

Car polish can help reduce the appearance of scratches, but its effectiveness depends on the depth and severity of the scratches. Here’s a breakdown:

Light Scratches

  • Polish Effectiveness: Light scratches, such as those from washing or minor abrasions, can often be effectively removed or significantly reduced using a polishing compound.
  • Technique: Using a dual-action buffer or a polishing pad by hand can help smooth the paint and blend the scratched area with the surrounding surface.

Moderate Scratches

  • Polish Effectiveness: Moderate scratches may improve with polish, but they might not completely disappear. You may need to use a cutting compound first before finishing with polish.
  • Technique: Start with a heavier compound to reduce the depth of the scratch, then follow up with polish for a smoother finish.

Deep Scratches

  • Polish Effectiveness: Deep scratches that penetrate the clear coat may not be removed with polish alone. In such cases, a professional repair, touch-up paint, or clear coat application might be necessary.
  • Technique: If the scratch is deep, assess whether it can be filled with touch-up paint or if more extensive work is needed.

Final Thoughts

  • Testing: Always test polish on a small, inconspicuous area first to see how it reacts.
  • Follow-Up Protection: After polishing, apply a wax or sealant to protect the area and enhance the shine.
