If you find your classic car’s paint marred by a scratch, we have some suggestions for you. Here are five products that may help restore your car’s shine without a costly trip to a paint and body shop.

Before beginning with any of these products, wash your car. Make sure it’s dry, and out of the sun. You’ll want the paint to be clean and cool.

1. QUIXX

“Rated #1 by leading consumer magazines,” German engineered QUIXX High Performance Paint Scratch Remover is a relatively simple process that eliminates scratches and scuffs from your paint. QUIXX says they specialize in surface technology, and their Paint Scratch Remover uses a method called Plastic Deformation to remove scratches from all paint surfaces quickly and effectively. QUIXX will set you back about $15 at your local Walmart.

2. Nu Finish Scratch Doctor

Quick and easy to use. Removes scrapes, scuffs, haze and swirls. Just rub in the Scratch Doctor, let it dry to a haze, and wipe it off with a soft cloth. A bottle costs around $10, and is a favorite of many.

3. Simoniz Fix It! Pro

Most people are familiar with the Simoniz name. This one comes as two products, a pen and a cream. Use the cream for light scratches, just like you would use a wax. For more serious issues, use the pen. Just activate it, pump it a few times, and draw a line over the scratch. The Fix It! resin essentially fills in deep scratches. Remove any excess and let it dry. The pen will work on any color. Around $10.

4. Voodoo Ride Hexx

Hexx is a micro-finishing product that is nonabrasive and clear coat safe. This one is for “light” scratches, swirls, oxidation, and even blemishes caused by other scratch removing compounds. About $9.

5. CRL SRP Polishing Compound

This is a heavy-duty, industrial strength powder that can remove scratches and scuff marks. The powder is a mixture of abrasives, which would be considered a high purity cerium mixture. Unlike the other products on our list, you’ll need a polishing/rotary wheel to apply the CRL SLP powder to your car. Obviously, it’s a little more hardcore. The powder can also become airborne during application, and it’s an irritant which can cause burning and itching to the eyes and respiratory system… so make sure you use caution and wear protective gear. A bag of this fine powder will cost you upwards of $50.
