How to deal with minor scratches on a white car?

[DelMila]

Here are the methods to deal with scratches on white cars: 1. Minor scratches: Apply toothpaste to these minor scratches and gently wipe them off. The fine particles in toothpaste act as a mild abrasive, gradually polishing away the visible scratches. 2. Obvious scratches that haven't damaged the paint: Use a touch-up pen. Touch-up pens are designed for small areas of damage, but it's important to choose the right color as some pens may have significant color differences from the car's paint. While convenient, touch-up pens have drawbacks such as short adhesion time, potential peeling over time, and uneven application affecting appearance. 3. Scratches that have reached the primer: To prevent the exposed steel from rusting due to rain or other factors, use colored putty for repair. Sand the scratched area with sandpaper, being careful not to enlarge the damaged area, and clean off any dirt. Apply the putty carefully to ensure it fully fills the scratch. Finally, apply a compound and wax to finish the job. If the steel has started to rust, first sand the rusted area with fine sandpaper to remove the rust and smooth the scratch, then follow the above steps.
