What to Do About Minor Scratches on the Car?

[DeJoanna]

Methods for dealing with scratches on the car are as follows: 1. Hairline Scratches: For hairline scratches, methods like polishing or applying a rubbing compound can usually remove them. Simply wiping gently will make the hairline scratches disappear. 2. Light Scratches: For light scratches, just a tube of toothpaste is needed. Toothpaste is highly effective for shallow scratches that haven't damaged the car's primer. It works particularly well for removing traces left by other vehicles' paint during minor collisions or residues from adhesive products like stickers, cleaning most of them thoroughly. 3. Moderate to Deep Scratches: Moderate and deep scratches cannot be fixed by polishing. For small dents with a depth not exceeding 5mm, they can be leveled by filling with putty and then repainted.
