It is inevitable that the car will be scratched and share the tips for maintaining the paint surface

【Car owner's car knowledge】With a car, it is inevitable that small scratches will occur, or even scratches on the body by others, which is distressing. At this time, it is very important to master the correct handling and maintenance skills. Here we share some small experiences with the majority of riders.

1. How to deal with minor scratches on the car?

A small scratch is obviously not suitable for car insurance, and it is not necessary to go to a car beauty shop to repair. However, if the car is slightly scratched and not treated, it is easy to cause the car paint surface to rust, which is not good for future maintenance. What should I do if the car is slightly scratched? Teach you a good way to restore car scratches in two simple ways.

1. The touch-up pen can handle small scratches

If the rust is not very serious, you can first use a very fine water sandpaper dipped in water to gently grind off the rust spots, but do not grind randomly without any direction, and grind in a straight line in the same direction. Once it's completely wiped off, apply a coat of primer. For new scratches, apply primer directly after wiping. Later, if the vehicle has a small can of OEM paint, you can wait for the primer to dry, sand it down with water, and apply the OEM paint on top of the primer. If you don't have the original paint, you can buy a touch-up pen and use a touch-up pen for coloring. Although this treatment is not as effective as going to a beauty shop, if it is a small or inconspicuous scar, it can also prevent the rust from expanding and aggravating.

2. Toothpaste can temporarily prevent rust

There is also the use of ordinary toothpaste to deal with. When you find new small scratches on the body of the car, dab the toothpaste in a circle and apply it to the scratches. Don't forget to reapply after it rains or washes your car. This generally reduces scratch marks, or simply acts as a barrier to prevent rusting, which is fine in the short term. Especially the white car paint, the effect is the most obvious. After doing a good job of minor scratches on the car, wait until the next time you carry out a comprehensive maintenance of the car to completely repair the scratches.
