Rating of the best anti-scratches for cars for 2022

The “Anti-scratch” tool was created to correct minor mechanical defects on the surface of the car body. This tool guarantees a quick and high-quality effect in the fight against many defects in the paintwork, up to the most problematic ones. The popular name is "Scratch Remover". Such liquidators are classified into 2 categories: pasty and in pencil format. The first category guarantees the most qualitative impact on damage, but it will take time in return, the second category acts instantly, but the effect of such a remedy is guaranteed only with minor damage.

There are hundreds of scratch removers on the market, because the demand for this tool is only growing. The principle of operation and composition are similar regardless of the manufacturer, but there are also the most effective instances. This is due to the fact that the manufacturer has a unique recipe for preparing the product, while its competitors use traditional methods for making "anti-scratch". It is recommended to choose a specific name based on reviews.

Variety of anti-scratch products

To choose a suitable anti-scratch from 2 categories, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of each. For example, in order to choose the right paste to fix a defect, the driver needs to know exactly the name of the color of the car being repaired, otherwise the smeared piece will stand out strongly against the general background. It is worth considering that even with the exact match of the names of the color of the car and the color of the product, the driver does not receive a guarantee that the smeared piece will not stand out.

In addition, if there is a need to mask a scratch, then the paste is unlikely to work, because it cannot be applied evenly to such a minor damage. Pasty mixtures are relevant for the largest lesions.

It is worth mentioning that one paste may not be enough to achieve the maximum effect. Many car owners use these scratch removers in conjunction with a special polishing agent. On the Internet, many motorists note that this approach to masking scratches gives the best effect.

Turtle Wax

The driver will receive not only a corrected area, but also a crystal shine.The manufacturer refused to add silicone to the composition, which for many motorists will be a significant plus.

Apply Turtle Wax by the following method:

• First, develop the capsule with warm fingers;
• Secondly, using a piece of plastic or rubber, apply wax to the damaged area;
• Then, the paste should harden;
• After that, the treated surface must be polished using the same plastic or rubber with which the product was applied.

Review:

“Liquid Moly is my go-to for special occasions. Small scratches do not happen so often, but if you do get it, then I trust the repair work only to a German tool, since only Liquid Moli is able to show a good result in puttying small cracks. For large detachments I use a different paste, but wax from Liquid Moli helps out in rare cases of scratches much better than a pencil. I recommend it to all drivers who are looking for a good remedy for minor defects and are not afraid of high prices!”
