How do I tell if I need to retouch?

Scratches that hurt the primer should be repaired in a timely manner at a professional maintenance agency. If there is a large impact and accident, the plate breaks, and the sheet metal part needs to be repaired and then repainted by painting to restore the car to its original appearance.
How to judge the severity of scratches?
1. Can I see the body metal?
No metal is exposed, which is a minor abrasion. Coarse wax sanding or waxing a few more times, scratches can slowly disappear. If the paint is refilled, more of the original paint will be sanded off, which may outweigh the losses.
2. Check the damage site, is it a plastic part?
In general, the materials such as bumpers, rearview mirrors and the wheel eyebrows of some cars belong to engineering plastic products, which will not rust, and will only affect the appearance after damage. In other parts, severe scars that can be seen inside the steel plate type need to be repainted.

2. Nail polish to remove scratches

3. Paint pen to remove scratches
