The best way to treat car scratches is to fill the scratched area with a coating agent that matches the car's body color. Below are some related tips: Daily tips for handling scratches: Use toothpaste to remove minor scratches: Clean the scratch with water and let it dry, then slightly dampen a towel, apply toothpaste to it, and rub the scratch firmly. Apply nail polish to cover scratches with matching paint: Clean the scratched area with water and let it dry, then choose nail polish in the same color as the car body and apply it evenly to the scratch. Clean leather seats with soap: Soak a clean, soft towel in warm water, apply an appropriate amount of soap evenly to the towel, and gently wipe the seats (repeatedly wipe the folds if necessary). Other maintenance tips for car damage: Dent repair and maintenance: When spray painting, cover the surrounding areas with newspaper to prevent the paint from spreading. Rust prevention: Quickly address any rust spots you find. If left unattended, the rusted area will expand. You can use sandpaper to clean the rusted area or apply a chemical rust converter. Leak prevention: The waterproof strips around doors and the trunk can easily peel or twist. If they are not broken or deformed, they can be reused by simply reattaching them to prevent leaks. Bumper scratch repair and maintenance: First, remove any burrs and sand the area smooth. Fill any dents with putty that closely matches the color, applying it carefully to ensure it fully penetrates. Finally, apply a compound and wax.
