Does Every Car Have Scratches?

Vehicle scratches are unavoidable. Here are the relevant methods for dealing with scratches: Light Scratches: Spray water and wipe with a towel. After cleaning, apply a polishing compound to the affected area and use a polisher at low speed, moving back and forth along the direction of the scratch. Move slowly and apply even pressure, ensuring no spots are missed. During polishing, keep the polishing pad and paint surface at room temperature. If the paint surface exceeds 40°C, spray water to cool it down. Stop polishing once the light scratches become invisible, then rinse off any remaining compound with water and dry with a towel. Avoid waxing immediately after polishing. If wax is applied right away, the paint may look glossy for the first few days, but after washing, the gloss will fade. Therefore, use a paint restorer to restore the paint first. Moderate to Severe Scratches: It is recommended to visit a professional auto maintenance facility for repair.
After driving for so many years, to be honest, it's quite normal to have some scratches on the car. Almost every car owner will encounter this. Think about it - parking at a mall or residential area, other cars accidentally hitting yours when opening doors, or road debris flying and hitting the body - these are all unavoidable. The first year with a new car might be fine, but over time, especially when frequently parked outdoors or in crowded places, scratches will accumulate. Minor scratches don't affect driving safety, but if they're deep and not repaired in time, the paint damage could lead to rust. I have a five-year-old car covered in small marks, but regular washing and waxing can slow down the deterioration. After all, a car is a practical tool, not a display piece. Having some imperfections isn't strange - there's no need to obsess over them.
