What Are the Quick Methods for Repairing Car Scratches?

Quick methods for repairing car scratches: 1. Paint pen repair method, which involves using a paint pen of a similar color to cover the scratched area. This method is simple, but the repaired area has poor paint adhesion, making it prone to peeling and not long-lasting; 2. Spray painting method, which uses traditional paint repair techniques to fix scratches. The downside is that it damages a larger area of the original paint, takes more time, and the results are not particularly good; 3. Computer-mixed paint spraying method, which combines computer-mixed paint with new techniques for deep scratch repair. This is a quick technical repair, but it requires accurate color matching, minimizing the repair area, and special solvent treatment to better blend the new and old paint.
I often deal with minor scratches on my car and found that the quickest solution is to buy a tube of scratch repair paste, which costs just a few bucks. First, clean the area around the scratch with a damp cloth to remove any dust, then apply a small amount of the paste onto the scratch and let it dry for about ten minutes. Next, gently buff it in a clockwise motion with a soft or polishing cloth, repeating once or twice until the scratch is covered—it’ll look as good as new. Light scratches usually take about 15 minutes to fix, but if the paint is damaged, the effect won’t last long, and professional repainting might be needed. I recommend using well-known brand products—cheap ones may fade or leave uneven results. Since parking under trees often leads to scratches, keeping some repair paste handy is practical. Overall, DIY fixes can save a lot of money and time.
