Light scratches and scruffs can cost up to £100 for a professional repair, but following this advice means forking out just a fraction of that amount.

TikTok user @fancyfixdecor, with more than 200,000 followers, recommends using Mr Clean Magic Eraser to remove light marks on your car.

And you can find a product similar to Mr Clean Magic Eraser for only £2 at Wilko stores around the country.

The video shows the woman gently rubbing the scratch with this household staple – and it disappears in seconds.

Gently is key here, as the Magic Eraser acts like light sandpaper for smoothing out the scratch.

But car experts say you should first wash your car or at least the scratched area for a better result.

The video has had more than 3,000 likes and 47 comments.

But people are divided after watching the video on TikTok.

One said: “Aw, no, don’t do that. Magic erasers are micro abrasive and will eat away at your clear coat. Also, it will leave holograms and small scratching.”

Another said: “I love that I have them, so I’m definitely gonna try them on my car cause there are a few scratches that I would love to get rid of, thanks.”

A third pointed out: “Can I do that on a black car?”

The poster answered: “Yes, I used it on my husband’s dark truck.”

Another hack to remove scratches from your car involves toothpaste.

Plus, another TikTok user revealed how to make your car “brand new” using coconut oil and white vinegar.
