for fixing light scratches? I've used regular touch up paint in the past and I guess my hand is not very steady as I always end up with blobs of paint in a scratch. Sometimes I think it looks worse than the scratch. TIA


Have you ever tried one of those Nissan paint pens? I bought one from this site a long time ago:

Never used those products. Are these surface scratches, or down to the metal? If the former, I have found that "Scratch Out", made by 'Kit' works great on small surface scratches. You can find it at most auto stores. Look for a yellow plastic bottle in the polish and waxes aisle. You might also try Polishing compound.

try running your finger nail over the scratch if it snags then the scratch is to deep to be remove by polishing compound. Touch-up is your only alternative other then repainting the whole area.

I can feel that the scratch is to the metal. Thanks, I'll try one of the NISSAN pens.

Thanks to all!
