Scrapes on cars are inevitable. They're also infuriating, especially when they appear mysteriously out of nowhere. Good news for drivers. Put the breaks on calling for help - all you need is a little bottle of... NAIL VARNISH.

One savvy TikToker has shared how to sort out scratches without breaking the bank. French user Océana posted the pound-saving trick on her TikTok account, ‘occcccmrt’ using a small bottle of red nail varnish captioning it: “Clio réparée.”

After applying the varnish which is fortunately the same colour as the car, the unsightly marks seem to disappear.

Don't know about you, but we barely trust ourselves to paint our own nails, let alone a car.

Gaining over 23.4million views and 2.5 million likes, the video has 20.9k comments and 53.7k shares, although some people aren't so convinced by the paint job.

One person said: “Perfect colour match.”

Another added: “Nobody’s gonna know.”

A third commented: "It's all fun and games until it rains."

Another penned: "I'm really cringing on how this was applied."

While one user suggested: "There should be nail polishes named by the official car colour and it's of course this colour. Like: Mercedes grey. Every problem would be gone."

Another joked: "I just know foundation is the perfect shade."

A paint by numbers job? Or grabbing the number for the garage?
