The methods to deal with minor scratches on car paint are: 1. Spray atomized cola on the scratched area, wipe it clean with a clean cloth, apply toothpaste evenly on the scratch, wait for one minute and then wipe off the toothpaste; 2. Pour some essential balm on a soft cloth and repeatedly wipe the scratched area; 3. Choose nail polish that matches the car body color and apply it evenly on the scratched surface; 4. Use a touch-up paint pen to cover the scratch effectively. The methods to maintain car paint are: 1. Remove dust from the car body in time to minimize the adsorption of dust due to static electricity; 2. Rinse rain stains with clean water as soon as possible after rain to avoid damaging the paint surface; 3. Do not wash the car under scorching sun or high temperature.
A few days ago, I also got a small scratch on my car paint, located on the rear bumper. I was quite upset at first, but then I thought handling it myself would save money. I immediately went online and bought a color-matched touch-up paint pen set for just a few dozen yuan. First, I used a clean cloth to wipe the scratched area clean and remove dust, making sure no water droplets remained. Then, I slowly squeezed out the paint and applied it evenly, like painting. After letting it dry for half an hour, I gently sanded the edges to make them smooth. Finally, I applied a layer of wax for protection, and the gloss was mostly restored. It feels great to fix small scratches myself, saving hundreds of yuan from going to the repair shop. Remember to work in a shady spot to avoid the paint drying too quickly in the sun and causing bubbles. Also, be patient and apply multiple layers for better results. This method works well for shallow scratches; if it’s deep and exposes the primer, you’ll need to find a professional.
