What to Do If You Accidentally Scratch a Car?

[KayleeLynn]

Here are the methods to handle accidental car scratches: Minor scratches on the car body: If the car has only minor scratches that are not deep and only the outermost layer of paint is affected, you can repair the scratched paint by waxing. Damage to the base coat: If the base coat is damaged and some of it has peeled off, you can try to repair it by touching up the paint yourself. Scratches have damaged the primer or even caused body panel deformation: The affected area's paint needs to be sanded off, followed by body panel repair, and finally, repainting with all layers of paint.
