What to Do If You Discover Scratches on Your Car Days Later?

Directly report the incident to the insurance company, but this will only cover 70% of the cost. Below are the methods for handling car scratches: While driving in a normal lane: If your vehicle is scratched by another vehicle while driving in a normal lane and it's the other party's fault, and they admit responsibility, compensation will be based on the extent of the scratch. If the other party does not take responsibility, seek assistance from traffic police. When parked: If your vehicle is scratched while parked and you're unsure how it happened, minor scratches can be concealed with wax, making them generally unnoticeable, which is a cost-effective solution. If there are dents after the scratch: If there are dents after the scratch, take the car to a repair shop for panel beating, painting, and shaping repairs. It's recommended to avoid 4S shops due to their exorbitant costs, unless it's a new car, in which case go to a reputable repair shop.
