What to Do When the Car's Primer is Scratched?
1 Answers
There are three ways to deal with scratches on the car's primer: 1. For minor scratches, which are mostly caused by trees or plants, wash the car clean, apply coarse wax in a circular motion first, then fine wax, wiping in the same direction from the inside out for a longer time. Finally, wipe off the wax with a clean cloth, and you will see the small scratches disappear. If the scratches remain, there are two possibilities: insufficient polishing time or the scratches being slightly deep. 2. Wash and dry the car, shake the touch-up pen before use to mix the paint evenly. Before touching up, stick adhesive tape on both sides of the scratch to make the process easier and prevent the touch-up pen from painting other areas. After the touch-up paint dries, polish it with fine wax. 3. Scratches that expose the primer can easily cause the metal to rust, so surface rust removal and rust prevention are necessary. Wash and dry the car, apply rust remover to the scratched area, wait about 15 minutes, then wipe off the rust remover with a clean cloth and apply rust inhibitor. After applying the rust inhibitor, wait a few minutes before spraying with spray paint. Before spraying, cover the surrounding area of the scratch with newspaper. If dealing with scratches that expose the primer is difficult, it is recommended to seek professional help at a repair shop.
