1 Answers
Rust spots on the paint of a new car may be due to paint aging, where moisture penetrates the paint and reacts with the metal, causing oxidation and rust. It could also be caused by acidic substances in rainwater carrying iron particles from the air, which settle on the car and form rust spots. Here are some solutions for rust spots on the paint of a new car: Using a Touch-Up Pen: If the rust is not severe, you can first use very fine sandpaper dipped in water to gently sand the rust spots, moving in straight lines in the same direction. After completely cleaning the area, apply a layer of primer. For new scratches, simply clean the area and apply the primer directly. If you don't have the original factory paint, you can purchase a touch-up pen to apply color. While this method may not be as effective as professional treatment at a detailing shop, it can help prevent the rust from spreading or worsening, especially for small or inconspicuous scratches. Applying Toothpaste: Besides cleaning teeth and oral hygiene, toothpaste is also quite effective for temporary rust prevention on cars. When you notice new small scratches, gently apply toothpaste in a circular motion over the scratched area. Reapply after rain or washing the car. This method generally helps reduce the visibility of scratches and provides a simple barrier to prevent rust, working well in the short term. It is particularly effective on white car paint.
