What to Do When a White Car's Paint Gets Scratched?

[VanCassandra]

Solutions for scratches on a white car's paint: 1. Polishing: Polishing is only suitable for minor scratches. Moderate friction helps eliminate fine scratches, but excessive polishing can thin the paint and eventually wear it through. 2. Touch-up painting: For deeper scratches, if the area is small and you have good DIY skills, you can do the touch-up yourself. For larger scratches, it's recommended to visit a 4S shop for professional repair. Steps for touch-up painting: 1. Clean the scratch before repair, using 800-grit sandpaper and a sanding block to smooth the scratch. 2. If the scratch is deep, use filler to level it. 3. After the filler dries, use 800-grit sandpaper and a sanding block to smooth the scratch again, then wipe it clean with a towel. 4. Gently sand the surrounding area with 2000-grit sandpaper until it becomes matte, then clean it. 5. Use a cleaning pad to wipe around the scratch before applying touch-up paint, then spray with clear gloss varnish.
