If your car has a scratch that exposes metal, you can use touch-up paint or nail polish to cover up the exposed area. If the metal is rusted, you will need to sand down the rust and apply a primer before painting. For a permanent fix, visit a professional detailer.
Car paint scratches so easily because it’s typically made of polyurethane-based enamel, which adds color to your vehicle and protects it from the elements and environmental threats. So despite being very resistant to chipping and cracking, it’s particularly vulnerable to scratching.
Car detailing involves restoring your vehicle’s interior and exterior for a newer and glossier look. Detailing is primarily undertaken to keep your car looking its best possible way and minimize the impacts of interior wear and the harsh impacts of external elements such as dirt and grime.
Detailing can be good for your car, but detailing a car with the wrong cleaners that have harsh chemicals can damage your car’s finish. A quality detailing will make it cleaner than it might have been when you bought it. It will certainly be cleaner than if you drove it through the car wash.
