What to Do If Your Car Gets Scratched While Parked at a 4S Shop?

[OGia]

If the vehicle gets scratched during its stay at a 4S shop, the owner can request the 4S shop to handle the repairs. More details are as follows: 1. In real life, if you accidentally scratch your beloved car, minor scratches on the paint surface are typically superficial and can be completely repaired by waxing. Use a compound to treat the area, wiping in straight lines, then apply wax—start with coarse wax followed by fine wax, moving in the same direction from the inside out. This method can nearly eliminate all fine scratches. 2. Of course, there's a more cost-effective method using toothpaste for repair. Gently apply it to the shallow scratches, then use a soft cotton cloth to wipe counterclockwise. After a few repetitions, not only will the scratches be reduced, but it will also prevent air from corroding the damaged paint. 3. For more severe scratches where the underlying primer color is visible, the treatment depends on the location of the damage. Generally, areas like the bumper, rearview mirrors, and some cars' wheel arches are made of engineering plastic and won't rust. However, if these severe scratches appear on other parts of the car body, a repaint will be necessary.
