How to Repair Branch Scratches?
2 Answers
Methods for repairing branch scratches are as follows: 1. Use scratch wax: Apply the wax with a polishing sponge in a clockwise or counterclockwise motion over the scratched area, then use a polishing wax. 2. Use toothpaste for repair: Gently apply toothpaste to minor scratches and wipe with a soft cloth in a counterclockwise motion. Additional information: Exposure to sunlight and rain can worsen small scratches and damage the car's paint, as rainwater can seep through these "wounds" and accelerate rusting. However, scratches that only affect the car's appearance and not driving safety can be addressed later if time is limited. In contrast, scratches or wear on tires, which are crucial for driving safety, require thorough inspection and immediate attention to ensure vehicle safety.
I've encountered this issue before—the car parked under a tree had several white marks the next day. Light scratches are actually easy to handle; just buy some scratch wax. Wash and dry the car, then use a sponge to apply the wax in slow circular motions along the scratch direction, applying light pressure to avoid damaging the surrounding paint. Rub for two to three minutes, then wipe it off to check the results. Repeat if necessary. Afterward, remember to apply car wax for protection. For deep scratches, don’t attempt to fix them yourself, as they might have damaged the primer. It’s best to seek professional repainting—they can perform a full-panel touch-up without color mismatch. In daily parking, stay away from trees, or simply apply a paint protection film for hassle-free protection.
