2 Answers
The solutions for when your car gets scratched with another car's paint are: 1. After washing with clean water and drying, apply toothpaste on a damp towel and scrub vigorously; 2. After washing the car body, choose nail polish of the same color and apply it evenly on the other car's paint repeatedly; 3. Use a touch-up pen of the same color as your car's paint for local touch-ups. Methods for maintaining car paint include: 1. Remove dust from the car body promptly after use to reduce static electricity's attraction to dust; 2. Rinse the car body promptly after rain to prevent paint corrosion; 3. Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the car body; 4. Remove highly corrosive marks promptly; 5. Avoid washing the car under strong sunlight or high temperatures.
When I first started driving, I made this mistake too—I scraped someone else's car while reversing and left white marks on my own car. The first thing to do is to park the car properly without obstructing traffic, then take photos with your phone for insurance purposes later. Next, check where the damage is. If it's just surface transfer of the other car's paint, you can gently wipe it with a soft cloth dipped in water. If it doesn’t come off, apply some professional car wax or cleaner and rub it a few more times. Remember not to scrub too hard to avoid damaging the original paint. Later, I went to the 4S shop for polishing, which only cost a little over 200 yuan. When driving in tight spaces, always be extra careful, slow down, and installing a reversing camera can be a big help in reducing such troubles. Afterward, remember to wax your car regularly for maintenance to keep the paint smooth and prevent minor scratches from leaving marks.
