How to Deal with Black Scratches on a White Car?
1 Answers
The simplest way to deal with black scratches on a white car is to use ordinary toothpaste. Gently apply the toothpaste in a circular motion over the scratch. Reapply after rain or washing the car. This method generally helps to reduce the appearance of the scratch and can also act as a simple barrier, preventing rust in the short term, especially for white car paint, where the effect is most noticeable. Below are specific tips for handling scratches: 1. Touch-up Pen: Use a touch-up pen to color the scratch. While this method may not be as effective as professional repair at a body shop, it can prevent rust from spreading or worsening, especially for small or inconspicuous scratches. 2. Apply Toothpaste: When you notice new small scratches on the car body, gently apply toothpaste in a circular motion over the scratch. Reapply after rain or washing the car. This generally helps to reduce the scratch's visibility and acts as a barrier against rust, providing short-term protection. 3. Waxing: Very minor damage can be removed with regular maintenance wax. For deeper scratches, use a wax commonly known as "rubbing compound," which has stronger polishing properties. Before waxing, ensure the car is thoroughly cleaned and free of dust and debris. Be careful not to use too much wax—just enough to cover the affected area.
