New car paint scratched, should I claim insurance or repair it myself?

[VanLaila]

If your new car gets scratched, whether to claim insurance or repair it yourself depends on the extent of the damage. If the scratch is not very noticeable, you might not need to repair it. Because it's a new car, people tend to care more about it, but as you drive longer, you'll find that minor scratches are common. If you claim insurance for every small scratch, it's not only troublesome but also affects next year's insurance premium. Here is some information about paint repair: 1. Smooth and shiny paint: Polishing uses physical cutting methods combined with abrasive compounds to remove unevenness on the paint surface, achieving a smooth and shiny finish. 2. Polishing: Polishing is a process that removes surface imperfections to create a more even surface by removing a layer of paint, increasing the reflection angle to make the paint look brighter and shinier. Don't wax or polish too frequently, especially polishing—car polishing should not exceed five times, and waxing should also be done in moderation.
