Cigarette ash: an amazing solution for micro-scratches
It may seem incongruous, but cigarette ash, thanks to its slightly abrasive texture, is able to fade micro-scratches visible on the surface. Here's how to do it: Dampen a clean sponge, dab it in cold, fine ash, and then apply it to the scratch in small circular motions. Finish by wiping with a soft cloth. Warning: this trick only works for very light and shallow scratches. Avoid using it on metallic paint without first testing on an inconspicuous area.
