Will this come in contact with the body of the car? In other words, will it scratch the paint job?

On my car the cover lines up with the back edge of the license plate about 1/8" gap with painted surface.

It could. You could use some stick on padding (dr scholls) on the back of your plate to create a small gap between to the plate/cover and the car body.

Likely. I didn't scratch the paint to see that. Guess I not very curious as long as it works. Does this help?

I've not had this problem. I have a silver Scion XA and no scratches. There's a buckle-type attachment to stop the ramp from slipping, and on the other end it seems to sit fairly firmly on the ground. I suppose if you drove along with the ramp attached it might cause scratches, but I haven't tried that!

No. However, you may use it to scrub plastic siding on your home. This brush is designed for car washing and the bristles are soft so one does not encounter scratching on the soft automotive paint surfaces.

Yes. Even if the car was perfectly clean. If that's your plan I would make sure the car is clean and put a chamois between the bag and the paint.That said -- depends on what you mean by "scratch" -- different people are entitled to keep their cars as different levels of condition. Some are more utilitarian than others.

It could. It's a powder coated metal so it's smooth, but if you were to move it around a lot then I have no doubt that it could damage the paint. That being said, no damage so far over here.

I bet it can...but the soft nature of Plastidip may not add much if anything to it. Why not just go with a spray paint low gloss clear coat? it will be more durable in the contact wear areas imo.

Yes. It will scratch your roof top. We are using ours for the third year but will also be putting a blanket b/w the mat and bag b/c we have a new car.

Just put it on! It is designed not to scratch or damage. I have a Mazda Miata and CX9 works great on both!

I guess it really depends the distance and the surface that you drop it? I dropped it out of my kia from my lap onto the road and I don't even have a scratch on it!(= I hope that helps!

If your scratches are truly minor, this would work, but use it only where needed. Your original finish is probably better as is if it is in "good" condition. Use this on the scratches and follow up with a true wax, not a polish, on the rest of the car.

Should be no problem whatsoever. I also had all kinds of scrapes and scratches on my bumper and had actually considered having it airbrushed before applying the BumperTek. But decided the BumperTek would cover up most of them, and it did. And there was no issue getting it to adhere to the bumper right over the scratches. Bill

I use this on a silver car that head to scratches about 7 inches long. Sometimes they appear to be black and that is because you are seen the black layer underneath. Follow the instructions exactly as they tell you to. You will need to get A touch up paint tube or pen from your dealership that exactly matches the paint of your car. They can tell you this by looking at the vehicle number for your car from the manufacturer. But, make sure and get it from your dealership and have them get you the specific touch up paint. Good luck in restoring your paint job, but be patient and follow the instructions exactly. I use this on a silver car that head to scratches about 7 inches long.

Assuming that the paint chips are very small or minor, this should adhere just fine and cover them up. They should not be noticeable. I would not recommend this for any external car wrapping though, just because it's very textured like real carbon fiber, and it will get dirty easily. This textured wrap is a lot better for interior trim pieces in my opinion.

Hello! To answer your question is that you want make sure that color matches your car, This product will only cover up the scratch and it has like a ball point pin style that applies the paint and it comes with a brush as well. I used this item on my black Mercedes and it did cover up the scratch and sometime scratches can be buffed out, depending on how deep the scratch is if it's a hair line like scratch it shouldn't be a problem. Hope this helps and good luck.

It won't scratch your floors, the wheels are fairly smooth and plastic. However the car is more for riding not for pushing (unless you are a grown-up).

I was in the same spot getting it for a new car. It does not scratch the paint or dent anything.
