What to Do When New Car Paint Gets Scratched?
1 Answers
Here are the methods to deal with scratches on new car paint: 1. If the car is slightly scratched and the scratch is not deep, only the outermost layer of paint is affected, you can repair the scratched paint by waxing. 2. If the scratch has reached the base paint layer and some of the paint has peeled off, you can repair it by applying touch-up paint yourself. 3. If the scratch has damaged the car's primer or even caused deformation, and is not treated in time, it may lead to rust in the future. To repair the primer and deformation, the affected area's paint must be sanded off, followed by bodywork repair, and finally repainting all layers.

If the scratch is too large, cracked, or dented, it falls under the scope of comprehensive car insurance claims.
