TikTok user @andriyvitaly explained how to remove scratches with Diet Coke and powder.
She first adds the bubbly drink on the scratch and then the powder.
After a few seconds, she rubs it with a clean rag and the scratch disappears.
Users were quick to comment below – praising the impressive hack.
Another product that can remove car scratches is toothpaste.
Firstly, you need to work out how deep the scratch on your car is by running your fingers over it.
If your fingernails do not catch, then the scratch is in the clear coat of paintwork and toothpaste may be able to help.
You need to wash and dry the affected area to ensure you don’t end up rubbing any debris or dirt into the scratch.
Use warm soapy water and then rinse down before drying with a clean, dry cloth.
Next, take a dampened microfibre cloth and squeeze on roughly a 2p-sized amount of toothpaste.
Rub the toothpaste into the scratch in a circular motion.
And apply enough pressure to ensure the toothpaste is well-distributed across the affected area.
Once you’ve finished rubbing out the scratches, rinse the area thoroughly with soapy water to make sure you remove any excess toothpaste.
Finally, dry it with a dry microfibre cloth.
If the scratch is deeper than the clear coat, toothpaste will not work.
You will have to buy a scratch remover, which costs approximately £10.
