Covering scratches on cabinets in the coach

Purchase a stain pen from walmart. They come is several shades. You shake well and apply with a built in felt tip. It's a mixture of stain and lacquer. I use it on all my new homes and carry one in the truck all the time. I never know when I need to touch up a scratch.

this is assuming you have real wood cabinets

For light scratching Old English furniture polish will work.

If the cabinets are sealed/coated with lacquer, like 99% are, then the scratch may just be in the lacquer finish and not actually a gouge in the wood. This is easy to repair with some clear lacquer available at any paint store. Get a 1/2 pint and apply with a small brush, wiping off any excess.

if u can see the scratch its most likely into the wood/colour

At hardware store get a scratch repair stick (looks like a crayon) they come in various wood shades. It helps blend the scratch. Other option if real wood is a liquid stain/restorer same shade as the cabinet.

There are many products available in the paint section of hardware stores.

Haven't had much luck with the scratch kits with the crayon type sticks. I have one that has 6 different color magic marker type. So far seems to do a good job.
