How to Determine What Caused the Car Scratch?

[SanBrooke]

You can judge the cause of car scratches based on the shape of the lines. Identifying human-induced car scratches: Human-induced scratches are usually long and may have slight curves or a wavy pattern, whereas non-human-induced scratches from driving tend to have a consistent direction and appear as straight lines. Repairing paint scratches: For minor paint scratches, you can apply toothpaste to a damp towel and gently rub the scratched area repeatedly. Like car wax, toothpaste contains fine particles that can gradually polish away minor scratches when rubbed slowly. After repeated rubbing, let the car dry to eliminate the scratches.
