A man has left viewers intrigued when he shared a cleaning hack to remove scratches from your car "like magic".
Devon, who shares a series of "pointless life hacks" on TikTok, said he wishes he had known about the tricks earlier to make his life easier.
And that includes one tip to remove scratches from metal surfaces — in this case, he showed viewers how it works on a car.

In the video, the 23-year-old shared the recipe to help remove scratches.
He said: "If you mix white vinegar and coconut oil together, put it on a rag.
"You can wipe away surface-level paint scratches off your car like it's f***ing magic."
Devon didn't mention the proportion used between coconut oil and white vinegar but dipped the towel into the mix and wiped it across a white scratch mark on a red car.
"BAM! All gone, you are welcome," he added.
Car owners and drivers were stunned as some raised their eyebrows, asking if "someone can confirm this trick".
One commented: "Depends on the scratch, if they're webbed surface scratches, those can easily be compounded and buffed, then waxed."
A second wrote: "It won't last long. The only way to remove scratches completely is sandpaper the area, then buff with wax."
Another TikTok user said: "It basically puts a layer of oil in your paint, and as soon as the oil dries, it goes away."
"The oil only just temporarily fills in the scratch," another said.
"If you see white, unless you hit something white, you took off the paint and clear coat."
Devon also shared some other "life hacks", including telling people that pre-heating ovens are not necessary.
"It's not gonna ruin the food, because it is still going to cook the exact same way," he explained, adding that the pre-heat function is time-wasting and costly on electricity.
