Methods for handling minor paint scratches on a car: 1. If the vehicle is scratched by another vehicle while driving in a normal lane and it is the other party's fault, compensation should be sought based on the extent of the damage once the other party admits liability. 2. If the car is accidentally scratched while parked, minor scratches can often be concealed with waxing. For deeper scratches that waxing cannot fix, polishing can help reduce their visibility, although it won't restore the original appearance. 4. If the scratch is accompanied by a dent, it should be taken to a repair shop for panel beating and repainting. 5. If the scratch exposes the primer, it should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent rusting after rain. 6. If the scratch is not very noticeable and repairing it is too troublesome, applying a stylish car sticker can both cover the scratched area and add a decorative touch to the vehicle.
