Why Can Even Small Branches Scratch Car Paint?

[DeAlexa]

Not all branches can scratch car paint. Here is the relevant information: 1. Branch thickness: If the branch is not very thick, it will usually bounce off when the car comes into contact with it. However, if the small branch is a broken one with sharp edges or is relatively sharp, combined with factors such as the angle of contact and the speed of the vehicle, it can scratch the paint. 2. Solutions: If the scratch is very shallow and only affects the surface paint, it can be treated with a compound. The method is to wipe in a straight line. After the scratch disappears, use a finer compound to wipe again and then apply wax. If the rust is not severe, you can first use very fine water sandpaper dipped in water to sand the rust spots in a straight line in the same direction (avoid sanding in random directions). After completely cleaning the area, apply a layer of primer. For new scratches, clean the area and apply primer directly. After the primer dries, use water sandpaper to smooth it out, then apply the original factory paint or use a touch-up pen to color over the primer.
