Hi all,
I've managed to get a number of very thin, but deep (seems to be down to the metal), scratches on my car over the course of the winter. Aesthetically, I don't really care that much, however, I do want to protect against rust. On the other hand, I do not have much money at all. Do you think I could keep applying clear nail polish every few months to keep them rust free? Or am I ultimately just going to need to suck it up and replace them?
I'm just looking to keep the car healthy, I don't care about pretty.
Thanks
