What Are Some Clever Tricks for Treating Scratches on Black Cars?

[Raquel]

For minor scratches on black cars that haven't exposed the primer, you can use touch-up paint pens, apply toothpaste, or wax the area. Here are detailed introductions to the tricks for treating scratches: Touch-up Paint Pens: Use a touch-up paint pen to color the scratch. Although this method isn't as effective as professional treatment at a beauty shop, it can help prevent rust from spreading and worsening, especially for small or inconspicuous scratches. Applying Toothpaste: When you notice new small scratches on the car body, gently apply toothpaste in a circular motion over the scratched area. Reapply after rain or washing the car. This can generally reduce the appearance of the scratch and also act as a simple barrier to prevent rust, working fine in the short term. Waxing: Very light damage can be removed with regular maintenance wax. For heavier scratches, use a wax commonly known as "rubbing compound," which has stronger polishing properties. Before waxing, make sure to wash the car thoroughly to remove any dust or debris. Be careful not to use too much wax—just enough to cover the damaged area.
