Wax pencil to remove scratches on the car

- fall into the soil layer;
- get to the metal.

Varieties of wax crayons for cars
Total stands out 2 main types of wax crayons - they differ in the method of storage and application:
- Marker. Pencils of this type resemble an ordinary felt-tip pen, which literally paints the crack formed on the body. At the same time it is necessary to press a little on the case of a marker for that, so that it secretes enough fluid. Its consistency does not differ in consistency from the usual paint and varnish coating, and therefore the efforts must be appropriate.
Marker to remove scratches on the car
- Proofreader. Used a little differently. In shape and principle of operation, it is very similar to the classic office concealer. The corrective wax pencil also consists of a brush and a bottle. It is no less convenient to use, than the marker. However, there are some important nuances to consider. Example, when selecting a suitable pencil should be on 100% confident, that it has color, identical to your car. That's the whole point, that it is not always possible to wield a brush absolutely precisely. Therefore, when painting, you can also capture a significant area of intact coating. If the color is chosen perfectly, you do not need to worry about it - the paintwork of the car will simply merge with the liquid from the pencil. However, if you choose the wrong color, the scratch can become even more noticeable - it will give off a stand out spot of another shade. To avoid such incidents, you can buy a colorless corrective wax pencil from scratches for cars. The paint in it has no color, and therefore there will be no consequences of poor repairs. However, it makes sense to use a colorless pencil only in those situations, when the scratch penetrates only into the paint layer: if the primer is damaged, it becomes completely unnecessary.
