fairly even with your hand or will perhaps be on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/hood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"hood\">hood<\/a> or the

coat scratches\">Color coat scratches<\/a> are typically visible when someone keys your car. Compared to clear coat scratches, color coat scratches typically penetrate the car paint a bit more, removing color and paint even down to the bare metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it&rsquo;s likely that deep gouges can form after your car has been keyed, resolving the issue typically involves sanding the scratched area or applying an abrasive compound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the area has been sanded down, you&rsquo;ll need to apply touch-up paint, buff and polish the area, and apply a clear coat before proceeding to wax your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;ll also find tons of scratch repair kits that have everything you need to get the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column173620_f4a65c-7b > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column173620_f4a65c-7b >
