Cheap & Easy Way of Fixing Scratches

BLACK335iCOUPE · 04-28-2009, 09:08 PM

if you're like me.. you're tired of having to repaint or touch up your front bumper.. or refinish the little road rash your side skirts get. i found a perfect alternative to having to spend $100's of dollars

you just need a black washable marker (or w/e color car you have) and fill in the water color and let the abrasions soak it in.. then you just buff off the excess with a hot, damp cloth. it actually looks amazing.. you can't even tell there was a scratch there, it's especially useful with black cars. only works on shallow scratches that leave a dull finish though, nothing that is too deep or fine.
