Removing paint scratches from a body kit requires care because these parts are often made from thermoplastic olefin that are far more delicate than regular car paint. Begin with a gentle clean with a pH-neutral automotive cleaner to remove dirt and grease. Blot the panel until completely moisture-free with a fresh, lint-free microfiber cloth.

For light scratches that haven’t penetrated the clear coat, use a fine finishing polish. Dispense a thin layer to a soft foam applicator pad and buff the damaged zone in small concentric circles. Do not press down heavily to prevent damaging the underlying material. Following the polish application, wipe away the residue with a lint-free finishing cloth.

If the scratch penetrates beyond the clear coat, you may need to use a fine grit sandpaper, around 2000 grit, offroad auto part kept wet during sanding. Sand the area very gently in unidirectional motions, never in loops, to prevent swirl marks. Wash the area regularly to assess the depth.

After the sanding is complete, apply a rubbing compound to restore shine, followed by a ceramic coating to enhance long-term durability.

To ensure optimal outcomes, always test any product on a small hidden area first. If the damage has exposed the substrate, a shop-grade respray is recommended to ensure proper durability and appearance.

Routine detailing with wax and sealant can minimize the chance of surface abrasions.
