Simple tips to avoid car scratches
Scratches on cars not only reduce the aesthetic value but also sometimes cost the car owner a lot of money to fix.
During use, cars are prone to scratches and scuffs. Scratches do not affect the performance but they do affect the aesthetics and value of the car.
To limit scratches on the car, drivers can apply some of the following simple tips:
Drive carefully
Car bodies are mostly scratched due to traffic collisions. Therefore, drivers need to drive legally, keep lanes and keep a safe distance from surrounding vehicles to effectively limit scratches.
When moving into a curve or a narrow road with many obstacles... you should proactively reduce speed, and at the same time carefully observe the surroundings to steer in time, avoiding obstacles that can scratch the car. Drivers can take advantage of features such as blind spot warning, 360-degree camera... to better control the steering wheel.
When reversing and parking, avoid parking illegally as this can increase the risk of collision with other vehicles.

Wash your car properly
During the car wash process, if you use a dry, hard towel or one with dirt on it to rub on the car body, it can cause minor scratches on the paint. Therefore, when washing your car at home, you should not use a dry, hard towel to wipe away dirt.
Use specialized detergents
Instead of using soap, use a specialized cleaning chemical when washing your car to keep the wax on the paint while you wipe the car. This helps reduce friction and the possibility of scratches on the car body.
In addition, you should wax the car surface to protect it from the harsh rays of the sun, helping the outer shell to shine.
Restricted outdoor parking
Parking outdoors in rainy or sunny weather conditions for a long time causes the paint to oxidize, resulting in fading of color and easy scratching. Especially in heavy rain and strong winds, sharp objects such as gravel, rotten wood, etc. carried by the wind can scratch the car's paint.
If you must park outdoors, cover the vehicle with a tarp to protect the body.
