What to Do If Your Car Gets Scratched by Someone and You Can't Find Them?

If your car gets scratched by someone and you can't find the person, here are the steps to take: 1. Call the police immediately. If the scratch occurs on a main road with no injuries, move your car to a place where it won't obstruct traffic and wait for further instructions. Do not impulsively chase the other vehicle. 2. Retrieve footage from your dashcam to prove the other party's illegal actions. 3. Contact your insurance company and have them send a specialist to assess the damage and process the claim. If the other party knowingly caused the scratch and intentionally fled, you can sue them for hit-and-run. Fleeing the scene is a deliberate attempt to evade responsibility. Whether it's a minor collision or any other type of traffic accident, leaving the scene without reporting to the police or attempting to resolve the matter constitutes a hit-and-run.

What is the best way to protect car paint?

The best way to protect car paint is to wax your car. Precautions for car waxing are as follows: 1. New cars should not be waxed. The paint layer of a new car already has a layer of protective wax. Waxing too early will remove the original wax on the surface of the new car, causing unnecessary waste. 2. Master the frequency of waxing. Since the driving environment and parking locations of vehicles are different, the time interval for waxing should also vary. 3. Before waxing, wash off the dirt and dust on the body with water, but do not blindly use dishwashing liquid or soapy water. 4. Wax your car in a shady place to ensure the body does not become hot.

How to Deal with Long Scratches on a Car?

Here are the specific methods for dealing with long scratches on a car: 1. Toothpaste. Toothpaste itself has a polishing function, equivalent to applying a layer of wax to the car, thereby achieving a repair effect. However, using toothpaste for repair is only effective for minor scratches and does not work well for deep scratches. 2. Car Paint Scratch Repair Agent. The repair agent has a polishing effect and can quickly repair the damaged part of the car paint, fixing minor scratches. 3. Touch-up Paint Pen. Using a touch-up paint pen can cover some small and shallow scratches, making them less noticeable. However, the effect still has a certain gap compared to the original factory paint, and the durability cannot match that of the original paint. The touch-up paint pen is only for local touch-ups.

Why is the car key remote not working?

The reasons why the car key remote is not working are as follows: 1. The car battery is dead, causing the vehicle to fail to receive signals; the car remote key is out of power, preventing the door from being unlocked. 2. The car remote control failure is due to the presence of high-power radio signals of the same frequency in the surrounding area, which prevents the vehicle's frequency signal receiver from receiving the radio-encoded commands sent by the remote key, resulting in the car remote control malfunctioning and causing issues such as the inability to lock or unlock the doors. 3. Large outdoor LED displays, wireless callers for construction elevators on work sites, wireless video surveillance equipment, etc. When certain hardware components of such devices malfunction, they generate multiple continuous radio stray signals, which can interfere with nearby car remotes, leading to car remote control failure.
