What to Do About Minor Paint Scratches?

[SamanthaAnn]

Here are the solutions for minor paint scratches: 1. For deeper scratches, you can use a touch-up pen of the same color to cover them, but this is only a temporary and less aesthetic solution. If the scratches are deep enough to expose the metal, it is recommended to repaint the affected area. 2. For shallow scratches or minor surface marks, you can use car wax to polish and buff them out. This method usually blends well with the original paint without noticeable differences. When touching up paint, first choose a color that closely matches your car's original shade. Secondly, perform the touch-up on a sunny, dry day and preferably in the shade. Thirdly, ensure the scratched area is thoroughly cleaned before treatment. Finally, avoid washing the car for at least three days after completing the touch-up.
