Where to Repair Car Scratches?
2 Answers
Car scratches can be repaired at auto beauty shops. Here are specific methods for vehicle scratch repair: 1. Toothpaste: Toothpaste has a grinding function, equivalent to applying a layer of wax, which provides a good repair effect. However, toothpaste can only repair minor marks. 2. Touch-up paint pen: Using a touch-up paint pen can cover some small and shallow scratches, making the marks less noticeable. There is a certain gap with the original paint, resulting in color difference. The touch-up paint pen can only perform local touch-ups. 3. Car paint scratch repair agent: The repair agent has a grinding effect and can quickly repair the damaged part of the car paint, fixing minor scratches.
If there are scratches on the car, I will choose different repair shops based on the depth and location of the scratches. For minor surface scratches, such as those on the clear coat, I would first go to a professional auto detailing shop. They have specialized equipment for polishing, and the cost is reasonable, usually just a few hundred yuan. For deeper scratches that expose the primer, it's best to visit a body repair shop or a quick-service chain like Tuhu. They can professionally repaint and ensure color matching. If the scratch is severe and reaches the metal, I recommend going directly to a 4S dealership. Although more expensive, their original factory techniques and quality are reliable, preventing future rust issues. DIY repair is also an option with online repair kits, but it carries risks and may leave noticeable marks. Overall, when choosing a shop, consider the technician's qualifications and equipment—don’t compromise quality for a cheaper price. Regular maintenance checks can also prevent minor scratches from turning into major issues.
