How to Deal with White Scratches Showing on a Black Car?
2 Answers
Here are the specific methods for repairing white scratches on a black car: 1. Toothpaste. Toothpaste has a grinding function, equivalent to applying a layer of wax to the car, thus achieving a repair effect. However, toothpaste can only be used for minor scratches and is not very effective for deep scratches. 2. Car Paint Scratch Repair Agent. The repair agent has a grinding effect and can quickly repair the damaged part of the car paint, fixing minor scratches. 3. Touch-up Paint Pen. Using a touch-up paint pen can cover some small and shallow scratches, making them less noticeable. However, the effect is still somewhat different from the original factory paint, and the durability cannot compare to the original paint. The touch-up paint pen is only for local repairs.
As someone who frequently works on my own car, I don't panic when I see white scratches on my black car—it usually means the paint has been scraped off, revealing the white primer underneath. The fix is simple: first, clean the affected area with a damp cloth to ensure it's free of dirt, then buy a dedicated black touch-up pen and gently apply it to cover the white spots and prevent rust. Once it's dry, use polish to smooth it out, making it look as good as new. This method is cost-effective and convenient for minor scratches—touch-up pens cost just a few dozen yuan online, but they're only suitable for shallow damage. For deeper or longer scratches, I can handle them myself, though the results might be uneven and require multiple attempts. If there are signs of rust or the area is large, don't push it—take it to a professional auto body shop for a proper paint job to save hassle. I always try to park away from bushes or poles to avoid scrapes. Regular car washes help me spot issues early in hidden areas, allowing for quick fixes that save money in the long run.
