How to Fix Scratches on a White Car

White is one of the most popular car colors in the world — and for good reason. It’s timeless, hides dirt well, and looks clean and modern. But white cars have their own scratch challenges. Here’s how to keep your white car looking pristine.

How Scratches Look on White Cars

On white cars, scratches typically appear as dark lines or grey marks where the clear coat has been damaged. They’re most visible in direct sunlight and can make an otherwise clean car look neglected.

The Good News

White cars are actually easier to repair than dark-colored cars because minor imperfections are less visible. The Magic Pen FixMyCar™ works perfectly on white paint, filling and sealing scratches permanently without any color-matching required.

  1. Clean the scratched area with a dry microfiber cloth
  2. Shake the Magic Pen for 10 seconds

  4. Let it sit for 30 seconds
