Can Toothpastereally Remove Car Scratches? - Let's Find Out!

In this video I am going to go over whether you can remove scratches from your car, using toothpaste and a microfiber towel or a scotch brite pad. There are alot of hacks out there regarding scratch repair, WD40, baking soda and this latest one toothpaste. Some of them might sound too good to be true so what I'll be doing is putting them for you guys to the test in my videos.

You are an argument saver! This worked 100%. I got my bright red paint on my neighbors white BMW and you know how people go crazy for their BMW. I was coming home really earlier in the morning and there weren't any available street parking (NYC problems) So I had to fit into a tight spot in the driveway. While doing so I accidentally pumped into my neighbor's car, wiping my paint on top his. I didn't even know until later this morning when I went to move my car. I quickly searched KZbin for some solutions and all I got was a bunch of guys telling me which products I should buy and the steps to use them in, blah blah blah - there was no time for that! So, God blessed me to find this video. I must say this method worked 110%. Some of the paint started to come off when I wiped it with the soapy water. Also, I was nervous because I didn't want to get caught (my neighbors are supppppeerrrr noisy). I quickly put the toothpaste on the car and started wiping it off immediately, I couldn't wait 5-10mins and the paint came off - of course I had to use a little more muscle to get the grind off but it came off! Thank God for this video! It is an effective method!

Guys! Help! toothpaste ruined my car paint :( I have a black car and I used toothpaste on a little area with scratches on my car. I've only left it for less than 3 minutes and when I washed it off, the area looked lighter and didn't look as glossy as the rest! Can waxing fix it?

[@MozRocks3000]

Scratched my brand new gloss black m/c helmet... 40 cm long scratch about 3-4mm wide... searched the web/amazon etc to find the best solution... scratch removers typcially have people raving or complaining about the product - where they complain they usually say the product made things worse... then I found thisvid and thought I would give it a go... so using a cotton bud and a small amount of toothpaste I worked it in along the length of the scratch - left it for about 10-15mins (I could still see the white scratch through the toothpaste on the black background) but I then used a soft cloth and a normal car polish and polished out the toothpaste... AMAZINGLY the scratch was gone... ok I could still see a dullish line where the gloss was taken off in the scratching process - but an untrained eye would never notice it... i'm chuffed to bits and it cost me nothing... THANKS FOR POSTING!!!

I have found that polishing compound works better on a lot of scratches so we use in our custom shop. It's our go to cure.

[@vistron888]

Toothpaste does work to remove mild scratches and marks. Certainly don't use a scouring pad but toothpaste is a mild abrasive just like cutting compounds.

[@sgriffin414]

I know this video is old, but thank you for this. Somebody keyed my 2018 Audi Q5 a couple days ago. The scratches weren’t deep but they were noticeable.

[@toorealformyowngood241]

I saw a hack for hardwood floor surface scratches. Use cashew nuts to rub over the scratches and it magically disappears. I tried it myself and was truly amazed. It surprisingly works well. Although I guess it's the oil or grease from the cashew nut that covers it up to make it disappear. Good luck. #HumanRace 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🙏🏼🙏🏻

[@timothyfogarty9007]

It works but it's only temporary. By all means do it yourself, however he's saying don't let a salesperson tell you they'll take the scratches out for a price. They probably use toothpaste or something to cover them only to have show again very shortly.

[@methunshow]

I think it might be a joke to throw off the competition at the end.

[@labmonkie]

I think what he meant was that it won't do anything to hurt or further scratch the surface up like the scrubbing pad technique would. The phrasing threw me, too. Funny guy though! Liked this vid!
