What to Do About Car Scratches?
1 Answers
There are three ways to deal with car scratches: 1. Minor scratches, which are mostly caused by trees, flowers, and plants. Wash the car thoroughly, apply coarse wax in a circular motion first, then apply fine wax, wiping in the same direction from the inside out for a longer time. Finally, wipe off the wax with a clean cloth, and you will see the small scratches disappear. If the scratches remain, there are two possible reasons: insufficient polishing time or the scratches being slightly deep. 2. Wash and dry the car, shake the touch-up pen before use to mix the paint evenly. Before applying the paint, use adhesive tape to cover the areas around the scratch to make the touch-up easier and prevent the paint from spreading to other areas. After the touch-up paint dries, polish with fine wax. 3. Scratches that expose the primer can easily cause the metal to rust. First, perform rust removal and prevention on the surface. Wash and dry the car, apply rust remover to the scratch, wait about 15 minutes, then wipe off the rust remover with a clean cloth and apply rust inhibitor. After applying the rust inhibitor, wait a few minutes before spraying with spray paint. Before spraying, cover the surrounding area with newspaper. If dealing with scratches that expose the primer is difficult, it is recommended to seek professional help at a repair shop.
