I found scratch on my honda accord right side this morning.
does anyone here know the best method to repair a scratch?
Thank you for help.

It depends on how deep/wide the scratch is and where.

It really all depends, as was said, on the details. If it's a big scratch I would leave it to a pro, but if it's a small ding you might be able to cover it yourself with a minimum expense.

if it is just a small scratch i know of two simple solutions.

1. get a buffer and attempt to buff it out

2. attempt to find some nail polish that is the same color as the current paint job and cover it up with that.

otherwise you often end up having to paint over entire panels just for even a little scratch. and no professional can match the old paint job exactly due to fading and aging.

I think I've heard of some kind of solvent made for light scratches that may help if rubbed on them. Sorry, the name of it escapes me right now. I think it may be called a "rubbing compound?"

Also, some car dealerships or auto stores sell small amounts of touch up paint that you may hopefully be able to match to your car. I've done that on my old Nissan Micra before.

I also have a small white scratch on the side door of my car, and a little dent (very tiny) there as well. I think it happened when I was parked in the grocery store parking lot because it went straight in my garage after that and I noticed it the next morning too. Any ideas on how to get a small dent out as well ?

Your right about some dealers will have small amounts of touch up paint. My car actual came with some just in case it was ever needed. I would agree though that if it is a big and deep scratch that I would pay someone to fix it.

I've taken a very minor dent out of a car door using a suction cup. Obviously that wouldn't work for all dents, but it may be worth a shot.

The diameter of the one I used would be about 6 to 8 inches.

Thanks Taggart. I haven't had time and that ugly dent has just been sitting there. I am going to try the suction cup thing. Hopefully it will work. Thanks again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .

Good luck with that dent. Hopefully the suction cup will work for you.

In my case, it was back when I was driving a Nissan and I think the dent was in the door panel.

We finally got around to getting a suction cup, and voila, the dent has disappeared ! Thanks so much for the tip. Our dent wasn't that severe and this worked perfectly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .

It's good to hear that it worked for you, leighdu.

I think on more severe cases, the dent may come out but there still could be an issue if the paint creased or cracked.
