Car light scratches can be repaired by following these steps: 1. Clean the dust and dirt on the surface of the headlights; 2. Use tape to cover and protect the areas around the headlights that do not need refurbishment; 3. Sand the surface with water sandpaper; 4. After sanding, remove the powder, then use a towel dipped in polishing wax to polish in a circular motion. Car lights are mainly used to provide illumination during daily use, at night, or in poor visibility conditions, and to warn other vehicles, ensuring driving safety. The maintenance methods for car lights include: 1. Regularly check the lamp cover to avoid water droplets; 2. Replace the headlights regularly; 3. Adjust the height of the headlights properly; 4. Use high-quality bulbs; 5. Prevent foreign objects from hitting the lights; 6. Try to park the car in the shade to avoid direct sunlight.
Dealing with headlight scratches is quite simple, and I've tried DIY repairs myself. First, thoroughly clean the surface of the light to remove any dust; apply some regular toothpaste, then use a clean cloth to vigorously polish for a few minutes until it feels smooth. After that, wipe it clean with a damp cloth, and you'll see the scratches are much lighter. This method is very effective for minor scratches, costing nothing and saving trouble. For deeper scratches, try a dedicated car repair kit, which costs just a few dozen yuan and includes sandpaper and protective wax. The key is not to grind randomly; movements should be even to avoid damaging other parts. After my last repair, the brightness of the light improved significantly, making nighttime driving much safer. Also, pay attention to protecting the headlights during regular car washes and avoid hard rubbing with hands to prevent new scratches.
