How to Deal with White Marks on Car Paint?
2 Answers
If it's not severe and only on the surface, try wiping it with paint cleaner. You can purchase high-grit sandpaper to sand the white scratches, then use a car-specific touch-up pen or spray paint for repair. Apply a scratch sticker to cover the scratched area. If the scratch is severe, you must go to an auto beauty shop for sanding and repainting. If the estimated cost is high, you can file an insurance claim.
As a car enthusiast, I've found that white marks on car paint are often caused by water stains or acidic residue. I prefer using gentle cleaning methods: first prepare warm water with a few drops of car-specific soap, then gently wipe the marked area with a soft cloth; for stubborn stains, use a clay bar to manually remove contaminants - it's affordable and reusable. After treatment, immediately apply a layer of car wax, like putting a protective coat on your vehicle to prevent rain or dust from leaving new marks. Prevention is key - dry the car body promptly after washing and park in shaded areas to avoid sunlight accelerating oxidation. Spending just ten minutes on weekly maintenance can save major repair troubles. For deep stains, visit professional shops for polishing rather than risking paint scratches by DIY methods - this keeps your car looking fresh and bright long-term.
