How to Deal with Scratched Car Paint?

[StBella]

Methods for dealing with scratched car paint: 1. Minor scratches: Minor scratches may be caused by sand kicked up by tires while driving or by keys. These scratches usually only damage the clear coat and are relatively simple to handle. Toothpaste can be used for treatment, as the fine particles in toothpaste can fill in the gaps of the car paint scratches, restoring the original appearance of the paint. 2. Light scratches: Toothpaste often cannot completely remove light scratches, especially longer ones. For white cars, immediate repair may not be possible, which can significantly affect aesthetics. The most crucial step for such scratches is to restore the car paint color. A touch-up pen can be used, but the surface may not be very smooth after repair. If aesthetics are a priority, using spray paint can improve the appearance. If repair is not desired, applying car stickers to cover the scratches is also a good option. 3. Moderate scratches: Moderate scratches usually expose the primer and require immediate attention to prevent rusting. For such scratches, a quick paint repair at a car beauty shop is recommended. For large-area scratches, professional repair may not be cost-effective, and insurance claims can be considered.
