The methods for repairing car body scratches are: 1. Use sandpaper to repair by cleaning and drying the scratched area, then gently rubbing the scratched area with sandpaper dipped in water; 2. Use chilled cola to repair by pouring a small amount of cola onto a cloth and continuously wiping the scratched area; 3. Use essential balm to repair by pouring a small amount of essential balm onto a cloth and continuously wiping the scratched area; 4. Use toothpaste to repair by cleaning the scratch with a cloth, squeezing toothpaste onto a wet towel or soft sponge, and wiping the scratch up and down; 5. Use nail polish to repair by applying a layer of nail polish on the scratch to prevent rusting.
Last time my car got a small scratch in the neighborhood, I decided to fix it myself to save money and practice. First, I thoroughly cleaned the damaged area with a wet cloth to avoid residue, then carefully applied a color-matched touch-up pen in thin layers (2-3 coats for natural results). After letting it dry for 20 minutes, I gently smoothed it with fine sandpaper and polished with solid wax for a shiny, like-new finish. The whole process took under an hour and cost less than 50 yuan – patience is key to avoid damaging the original paint. I now keep an emergency kit in the trunk with polishing pads and cleaner for minor mishaps. Daily driving tips: maintain side clearance when parking and avoid obstacles – good habits prevent headaches. DIY scratch repair is rewarding, but for exposed metal or deep dents, visit a professional to prevent rust issues.
