1 Answers
If the side skirt under the car door is accidentally scratched, in severe cases, it is necessary to seek professional auto repair shops or 4S stores for treatment, involving sheet metal work and paint repair. If the damage is minor, you can also use a repair pen for a simple fix. Methods for quick repair of car scratches: 1. Light scratches: Prevention is key for light scratches. Protect the paint surface when it is still new, such as applying a layer of mirror glaze. Mirror glaze, mainly composed of high molecular polymers, acts directly on the car paint surface. After cleaning the car body, use a polishing machine or manual operation to press the mirror glaze into the paint through vibration, forming a protective net-like film. This significantly enhances the hardness of the paint surface while providing better protection against high temperatures and UV rays. With regular car washing and waxing, the effect of mirror glaze can last up to a year. 2. Existing light scratches: For vehicles with existing scratches, polishing can be used for quick treatment. Use a polishing wheel with a polishing brightener to remove the oxidized layer on the car surface and smooth out fine scratches. The chemical agent penetrates the paint, causing a restorative change, not only removing light scratches but also refreshing the paint surface. Depending on the car's condition, this process takes only 30 to 40 minutes. 3. Exposed primer: If the scratch has exposed the primer, local touch-up painting is required. For such damage, it is recommended to go to a paint repair center with quick scratch repair services. Specialized touch-up paint is used, targeting only the scratched area, avoiding the time and effort of large-area spraying. The touch-up paint dries quickly and blends naturally with the original car paint, with no color difference or visible repair marks.
