What to Do When the Car Paint Gets Scratched?
1 Answers
If the car paint gets scratched, you can handle it based on the severity of the scratch: 1. For light scratches, polishing can be applied: Polishing is only suitable for minor scratches. However, moderate friction helps eliminate fine scratches. If done too frequently, it can thin the paint layer and eventually wear through it, which is counterproductive. Therefore, moderate polishing can protect the paint, but it should not be overdone. 2. For deeper scratches, touch-up paint is needed: This is for more severe scratches. If the scratched area is small and you are handy, you can purchase a touch-up pen and do it yourself. 3. For larger scratched areas: You will need to go to a repair shop. Depending on the situation, you can choose to repair it through insurance or pay out of pocket.
