What are the methods for treating scratches on a white car?

White car scratch treatment methods are: 1. Choose scratch repair wax, use a waxing sponge to polish the scratch area, then apply gloss restoration wax or brightening wax; 2. Evenly apply toothpaste on a cloth and wipe the scratch area; 3. Use water sandpaper dipped in water to remove rust spots, then use a touch-up pen for coloring; 4. Clean the scratched area, polish it, and then spray paint; 5. Apply scratch removal wax; 6. Perform car polishing. Car polishing refers to using specialized polishing tools and grinding media to repair defects in the car's paint surface, grinding the clear coat layer of the paint to level the high and low areas around scratches or scuffs, maintaining a bright and glossy paint finish.
When I encounter scratches on my white car, I first check whether it's a minor scuff or a deep scratch. For minor scratches, I can handle them myself—for example, by gently rubbing the area with a soft cloth dipped in toothpaste, repeating several times to fade the marks. If the effect isn’t noticeable, I try a touch-up paint pen, making sure to match the car’s paint color to avoid mismatches. During application, I clean the surface thoroughly and apply the paint evenly. An electric polisher works even better—spray some wax and buff evenly to restore shine. White car paint tends to show aging easily, so I wax it promptly after treatment to protect against UV rays. To prevent scratches, I park away from tree branches and choose edge spots to minimize contact. Plastic parts on the body won’t rust, but for small scratches on metal areas, early treatment prevents rust. In short, for minor issues, a little patience and DIY effort save money and deliver satisfying results.
