Toothpaste is very useful when it comes to removing scratches as it has a natural aversive component which helps to erase the minor dents and scratches. You can put some of it on a toothbrush and apply it on the scratched areas of your car body. Applying it in circular motion or strokes is considered the most effective technique.
