This guide shows how to remove small scratches from the bodywork and restore its shine and beauty as before. First, gather a tub of abrasive paste, a bottle of polish, and two clean soft cloths.

It is important to wash the affected area and the surrounding zone thoroughly with the cloths to avoid creating further scratches due to dirt. The first step is to apply a small amount of paste to the affected area and rub with the cloth using limited pressure, trying to keep the treated area as contained as possible.

Clean the bodywork of any excess paste. Now, soak a clean cloth with polish, apply it to the bodywork, wait a moment, and then polish carefully with a clean cloth.
