How to Deal with Black Scratches on a White Car?
2 Answers
Methods for handling black scratches on a white car vary depending on the situation: 1. If it's just dirt attached, simply wash and wipe it off; 2. If the primer is exposed, use a touch-up pen for repair or sand the damaged area and repaint; 3. If there is deformation, perform metal sheet repair. Precautions to reduce vehicle scratches: 1. Regularly check the gaps where water can easily enter to prevent sludge and dirty water from entering the body gaps, which can damage the car's paint; 2. While driving, try to avoid areas with high corrosiveness, as they can cause the paint to corrode and peel off; 3. After driving on the highway in summer, clean the vehicle promptly to prevent corrosion caused by insects hitting the car's paint during high-speed driving.
Last time my white car got black streaks from another car's paint, and I knew I had to deal with it quickly to avoid damaging the paint. First, don’t panic—wipe it clean with a damp cloth, then apply some toothpaste on a sponge and gently rub it in with even pressure to avoid deeper scratches. For light scratches, the toothpaste can remove the black marks, and the effect is quite noticeable. If the scratch is deeper and exposes the primer, you’ll need specialized scratch wax or a touch-up pen, which are available at auto shops. Remember to apply a coat of wax afterward for protection, making it less likely to get damaged next time. Don’t wait too long, as the marks can darken, harden, or even rust, making them harder to remove. Also, be mindful when parking—try to stay away from dark pillars or cars with dark paint.
