It is normal for a new car to have many hairline scratches. Causes of hairline scratches: Hairline scratches are tiny scratches that damage the clear coat layer but do not penetrate it. Even dust and sand particles in the air during high-speed driving can cause fine hairline scratches on the car's paint surface. These scratches appear as faint, thread-like lines when viewed against the light, but they are usually undetectable by touch. Methods to deal with hairline scratches: For small and few hairline scratches, a polishing wax containing abrasives can be used for treatment. The wax application process can effectively remove minor hairline scratches. However, for more noticeable areas like the hood, a polishing machine with polishing compound is required. Such hairline scratches can be easily removed with wax containing fine-cut abrasives, such as mirror polish wax. Since the abrasives in these products are refined to a nano-level, they will not harm the car's original protective paint layer.
