Can a New Car Be Restored to Its Original Condition After a Collision?

[DiMaximus]

New cars cannot be restored to their exact original condition after a collision; they can only be repaired to a state where the appearance shows no obvious differences from the original. However, there will still be some differences in reality. Even if original factory parts are used, factors like technical and manual workmanship can lead to variations. After a collision, the most noticeable issues on a new car are paint scratches and dents, which require bodywork and repainting to restore the car's surface. The deformed parts of the metal body are repaired through bodywork and repainting, allowing the distorted metal surface to return to its original shape. Even after bodywork correction, there may still be some imperfections that cannot be fully remedied by bodywork alone. Even replacing parts with new ones may not achieve perfection. To achieve a more flawless and precise restoration, sculpting techniques are sometimes employed to address these imperfections.
