A small one in the front bumper. Another in the right rear wing. And one who did not give importance at the driver’s door and now bothers you. Small friction and damage In the body without much importance. No, at least, to call insurance, however they reduce the image of our car.
Because who likes to have the car as a new one always has in those little taps, in some frictions that seemed of little entity, some notches for which they end up suffering. Here we collect some tricks to remove the lighter damage.
A small without importance
That is what we usually think when these types of small shocks or blows that end up leaving our cars full of notches that at first seemed to go unnoticed.
To solve it there are a good number of small tricks and homemade solutions that multiply through social networks. Some more or less recommended.
The first thing to consider is the depth of the scratch. If this is deep and has crossed more than one paint layer, it is best to go to a professional if you want to eliminate the same Without leaving a mark. It will be necessary to paint the area and it is essential to use the same tone as in the rest of the body so that it is not striking or obvious that something happened there.
When rubbing is not deep, there are various recommendations. From WorldOfSoftware We propose to get a specific product for this task. Ha of various types. Some include a simple suede to remove the excesses of the product but others also with a polisher and polishing to leave everything as new.
Although this, we point out, we believe it is the best option, there are some homemade tricks that can be useful in a timely manner but that are not recommended when you want to make intensive use of them.
One that has gone viral on social networks is to apply Mercadona lacquer. The idea is apply hair lacquer on the body and pass a microfiber cloth. The rubbing should disappear but the damage is done and is only a cosmetic improvement that reduces its visibility.
Juliwheels on Instagram (more than 350,000 followers) explains the process and closes with a resounding “flips how it looks.” The problem is that this type of lacquer can contain chemicals that damage the body of the car and, therefore, kill the brightness of the paint or in the worst case to cause its fall. It is not something that will happen with a single punctual application but they are risks that are being repeated in time.
This type of tricks, such as using an antigrase product of furnaces or vinegar for car tires, usually have little aesthetic route but, in addition, they usually damage the protective layers of the vehicle itself, putting the aesthetics of it at risk over time. There are multitude of similar cases. It is about applying a slight layer of olive oil, sodium bicarbonate or removing alcohol and, subsequently, conscientiously clean the surface.
All of them, as we said, are remedies to get out of the way. The same can happen if we apply toothpaste, which is used as a puller when rubbing it against the surface. This last remedy, for example, is also usually used to polish the headlights of the car, something that works aesthetically but can cause dispersions in the beam of light and, therefore, worsen visibility.
