What is the process for repairing paint scratches?

[OCorey]

Paint scratch repair processes vary depending on the severity of the scratch, and can be addressed using products like polishing wax, soft wax, liquid wax, toothpaste, or touch-up paint pens. Here are the specific details: Minor scratches: Wipe the area twice with a damp towel, then apply wax directly. Even non-abrasive polishing wax works well. Visible scratches: First clean the paint surface, then use a soft towel dipped in toothpaste to rub back and forth, followed by wiping with a clean towel. After cleaning, apply wax and polish immediately, preferably using liquid wax or soft wax. Repeat if necessary. Scratches reaching the primer: After cleaning, use a touch-up paint pen (scratch repair pen) to cover the metal completely, let it dry, then apply wax and polish. Large areas with exposed primer: In such cases, repainting is recommended. If insurance considerations delay repairs, perform rust prevention (using toothpaste) first, then apply a layer of wax to repair as much as possible. Coarse wax with the largest abrasive particles or liquid wax can be used.
