Remove scratches like this with toothpaste and baking soda.
Nowadays all cars have a touchscreen infotainment system. It makes driving easy and enjoyable. Having navigation, music, calls all on one screen is very convenient. However, with daily use, small and big scratches occur due to finger nails, rings, dust or accidental cleaning. These scratches not only reduce the brightness of the screen but can also affect the touch sensitivity.
Deep scratches require costly repairs or installation of a new screen, which costs thousands of rupees. Therefore, it is important to remove small scratches in time. The good thing is that this work can be done with household items only. Cheap solutions like toothpaste, baking soda make the screen like new. Let us know how scratches on the car’s infotainment system can be removed at home.
Follow this process
Toothpaste is the most popular and easiest method. Take non-gel toothpaste, apply some on a microfiber cloth. Lightly rub the screen in a circular motion for 1-2 minutes. Then wipe it with a clean cloth. Small scratches disappear as the toothpaste acts as a mild abrasive. In another method, make a paste by mixing baking soda and water.
Similarly, rub in circular motion and clean. Baby shampoo also helps. Apply some shampoo on a cloth and clean it gently. For deeper scratches, use plastic polishes like Meguiar’s or Plastex, but be very careful as too much abrasive can damage the screen.
Always keep this in mind
Work with the screen off, do not apply too much water otherwise the electronics may get damaged. Never use hard brush or paper towel. If the scratches are very deep then get professional detailing service or screen protector film (PPF) installed. This film protects from scratches and also hides old scratches. Once applied it provides protection for years.
Our advice: Prevention is the best cure. Clean gently with a soft cloth every week. If you apply the screen protector from the beginning then there will be no problem of scratches. With these easy steps, your car’s touchscreen will always shine like new and driving will remain fun. The total expenditure will hardly be Rs 100-200.
