How to Deal with Car Scratches and Dents?

Fill the sand marks and micropores on the bottom layer of the workpiece to enhance the adhesion of the underlying paint, which also serves as a defect indicator. Prepare a smooth and intact working surface for the topcoat, completing the final step of all primer work. The topcoat is divided into single-layer paint and multi-layer paint, serving as the definitive color layer and decorative protective layer.

I've been driving for quite some years and have encountered several dents and scratches. Generally, if the dent isn't too big, I try pulling it out myself with a suction cup tool, which is quite convenient to buy online for just a few dozen bucks. For paint scratches, I use a touch-up pen for minor ones, but deeper dents require a visit to a repair shop for panel beating, otherwise the metal can rust and make things worse. I remember last time my car got scratched, I didn't deal with it promptly, and three months later the rust spread, making the repair twice as expensive. Always be mindful of surrounding obstacles when parking to avoid new damages. In short, don't procrastinate—fix small issues promptly to save money and hassle.
