Will There Always Be Marks When a Car Gets Scratched?
2 Answers
There may not always be marks when a car gets scratched. Here is the relevant information: 1. Scratches: During daily use, it is unavoidable for a car's paint to be scratched by hard objects, leaving marks. For example, zippers on a passerby's backpack or small stones kicked up while driving can leave slight marks on the paint. 2. Coating Treatment: Minor scratches are the most common on a car's body, but they usually do not affect its appearance. In such cases, they can generally be ignored. For perfectionists, they can visit an auto beauty shop for treatments like paint coating, which can restore some of the minor scratches on the paint.
Last time I lightly scraped a tree stump in the neighborhood while reversing, and when I got out to check, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the rear of my car. I even used a flashlight to inspect it repeatedly—plastic bumpers really have this kind of elastic advantage. However, my friend's car is even more amazing. It got hit by a stone on the highway, and from a distance, there was no mark, but under the sunlight, a rice-sized chip in the paint became visible. The difference between metal and plastic parts is quite significant—even the slightest dent in sheet metal will reflect light abnormally. If the collision occurs at a speed over 5 km/h, there's an 80% chance it'll leave some mark. I strongly recommend keeping a touch-up paint pen handy—for minor scratches and scrapes, you won’t need to ask for help.
