Cigarette ash: a surprising method
Yes, it may come as a surprise, but cigarette ash, thanks to its slightly abrasive texture, can soften micro-scratches visible on the surface.
How to do it:
- Dampen a clean sponge
- Dab it in cold, fine ash
- Apply to the scratch in small circular motions
- Wipe with a soft cloth
Important : This tip is only suitable for very light , shallow scratches . Do not use on metallic paint without first testing.
Wood wax: not just for furniture
Used primarily to maintain furniture, wax can also restore the shine of car paintwork dulled by a fine scratch.
How to do it:
- Apply a small amount of wood wax to a soft cloth
- Massage the scratch in circular motions
- Wipe with a second clean, dry cloth
Result : small marks are visually reduced , without damaging the paint.
