1. Lightly rub the scratched surface with a fine polish to remove loose paint and wax.
2. Rinse the surface with clean water.
3. Apply touch-up paint to the scratch with a small brush.
4. Continue to apply thin coats of paint until the paint completely fills the scratch.
5. Allow the new paint to dry for at least two weeks and then blend it into the surrounding paint by buffing the painted area with a fine polishing compound.
6. Finally, apply a top coat of wax to the scratched surface.
If the scratch has penetrated the paint and damaged the body metal, causing rust, a different repair procedure must be applied.
1. Remove rust from the base of the scratch with a pocket knife, and then apply anti-corrosion paint to prevent future rust.
2. Using a rubber or nylon applicator, cover the scratched area with glaze (glazing - a translucent paint layer).
3. Before the glazing in the scratch hardens, place a piece of smooth cotton around your fingertip.
4. Dip the cloth into the thinner and then quickly sweep it around the surface of the scratch. This will help you make sure that the surface of the glazing is slightly sunken.
5. Now you can paint over the scratch, as described.
Attention! If necessary, glaze can be mixed with thinner to make a very thin putty, ideal for filling narrow scratches.
