What to Do When the Car Body Panel is Dented?

[DelIan]

There are two main methods to fix a dented car body panel: 1. Traditional metal sheet repair can be used to resolve the issue. 2. Alternatively, you may opt for paintless dent repair (PDR), which is recommended to be performed at authorized repair shops or 4S stores. Methods for dealing with scratches on the car are as follows: 1. Hairline Scratches: Hairline scratches can generally be removed by polishing or applying a rubbing compound. Usually, a gentle wipe is enough to make the hairline scratch disappear. 2. Light Scratches: For light scratches, simply prepare a tube of toothpaste. Toothpaste is highly effective for shallow scratches that haven't damaged the car's primer. It works particularly well on marks left by other vehicles' paint during minor collisions or residues from sticky products like adhesives, most of which can be completely wiped away. 3. Moderate to Deep Scratches: Moderate and deep scratches cannot be fixed by polishing. For small dents with a depth not exceeding 5mm, you can fill them with putty to level the surface and then proceed with touch-up painting.
