Scratch Eraser — Buffs Out Swirls, Scuffs & Clear-Coat Marks by Hand

That scratch you run your fingernail over every time you walk past? If the nail doesn't catch, this will fix it.

Door-handle nail marks, trolley kisses, wash swirls, sap etching — most "scratches" people panic about live only in the clear coat. A panel shop will quote you hundreds. Scratch Eraser and ten minutes of elbow grease will handle it for under $30.

How it works

Ultra-fine polishing compounds level the clear coat around the scratch, removing the sharp edges that catch light — so the mark visually disappears and the panel regains its gloss.

• Removes light scratches and swirls in the clear coat, by hand
• Erases scuff transfer from bumpers and door edges
• No machine required — just the cream, a cloth and small circles
• Safe on all paint colours and clear coats
• Finishes glossy, not hazy like harsh cutting compounds

How to use

1. Wash and dry the area. Fingernail test: if your nail catches in the scratch, it's too deep for any polish — this fixes surface marks only.
2. Apply a small amount to a microfibre applicator and work in circular motions for 1–2 minutes.
3. Wipe residue and inspect. Repeat if needed, then protect with Ceramic Shield.
