The Ugly Truth about Car Scratches

1.    Every car will get scratched, no matter how hard you try to avoid it

2.    The most common way to scratch your car is by washing it either at drive-thru car washes or doing it yourself with cheap soaps or detergents that don’t properly lift dirt

3.    Professional scratch repair could cost anywhere from $200 - $1200, or more

4.    Scratches will instantly devalue your vehicle, which will cause you to lose money on the future sale of the car or a lease return

5.    Most scratch removers just cover up or temporarily clean scratches, and do not work on scratches deep enough to feel with your fingernail

Yes, ugly scratches are unavoidable over time.  But that doesn’t mean you have to live with them.  Marc Forget, expert detailer and owner of Street Freaks Detailing in Montreal, Quebec says that “by following a few easy steps, you can minimize scratches and fix the ones you have easily:” 

1.    Examine your car’s paint for new scratches frequently.  I recommend doing this during your weekly car wash routine.

2.     Use a high quality car wash to clean your car.  Avoid using dish soap, which can only aggravate and cause scratches.

3.    Permanently remove scratches with QUIXX High Performance Paint Scratch Remover.  Other scratch removers only work temporarily.
