Why Are There Scratches on the Car Body?
2 Answers
The reasons for scratches on the car body include friction, collisions, and improper usage. Below are details about scratches: 1. Repair: If it's only a shallow scratch on the surface paint, immediately treat it with a compound, wiping in straight lines. After the scratch disappears, use a finer compound to wipe and then apply wax, which can quickly repair the car paint scratches. 2. Treatment: Visit a 4S shop for professional paint repair. 3. Insurance Claim: The car owner can file a reimbursement request with the insurance company, presenting the policy, driver's license, and the policyholder's ID card. The owner needs to fill out an accident report form, describe the accident process, and provide contact details. Photos of the car body scratches and the vehicle's exterior should be taken for damage assessment.
Car scratches are quite common. Last time I went on a road trip, my car got scratched by tree branches when passing through a forest, leaving a noticeable mark on the paint. Even when parking in the city, it's inevitable that other cars might open their doors too forcefully and hit my car body, or small stones on the roadside might get kicked up by tires and hit the car. If these everyday minor accidents aren't dealt with promptly, rainwater can seep in and corrode the metal, potentially leading to rust and more serious damage. I think it's good to develop the habit of avoiding parking under trees, as both branches and bird droppings can easily fall and damage the car's paint. Regularly using car wax to protect the surface can also help reduce the occurrence of scratches. Being careful when out and about, and not driving too fast on gravel roads, can save a lot of trouble.
