How to Repair Car Scratches?
2 Answers
The methods to repair car scratches are: 1. For very shallow scratches, you can use car wax for repair. Wipe in a straight line. After the scratch disappears, use a finer compound to wipe and then apply wax. Choose high-quality wax when waxing; 2. Squeeze a small amount of toothpaste onto the scratch and then wipe it slowly. Toothpaste contains very fine particles that can polish away the scratch through wiping; 3. Use a touch-up pen that matches the color of the car's paint. Shake well before use, then gently dab it onto the scratch; 4. Prepare a piece of sandpaper, first clean the scratched area thoroughly, dry it, then wet the sandpaper and sand the scratch until it is smooth. Be careful with the pressure when sanding and avoid sanding for too long.
Last month, I just fixed the scratches on my car door by myself, and the whole process was quite simple. First, I had to wash the car thoroughly and dry the scratched area, using car wash soap to remove any dirt. For light scratches, I applied car polish on a soft cloth and rubbed in circular motions for a few minutes until they disappeared. For deeper scratches, I used fine sandpaper, like 2000-grit, to gently smooth the surface, then applied some touch-up paint. After it dried, I polished it to restore the shine. I recommend regular waxing to protect the paint and prevent scratches from worsening. Doing it myself saved me a hundred bucks, and I learned a new skill. The key tools can be bought online, and it doesn’t take much time.
