How to remove small scratches on. Preparing the damaged area for painting

Any self-respecting car owner monitors the appearance of his iron friend - regular washing, polishes, shampoos and other autocosmetics. However, over time, it loses its strength, it is sandblasted by our road dust. As a result, "cobwebs" form on the paint. Today we will look at how to remove scratches on without painting.

Varieties of damage

The paintwork does not always deteriorate due to natural wear and tear. Sometimes damage occurs due to minor accidents. Experts distinguish several types of scratches:

• The first is damage that has not reached the base layer of the paintwork. Removing scratches on the car body with your own hands in this case is quite possible. All it takes is some careful polishing.
• Chips and scratches that have reached the ground layer or reached the metal. This may be the result of falling on the surface of small stones from under the wheels of the car in front. In this case, removing scratches on the car body without painting is impossible.

It is worth noting that if the damage has affected half the area of ​​​​the element (wing, bumper or hood), not always deep polishing can save the situation. In this case, the removal of scratches and chips on the car body is carried out by full training Paintwork for painting.

Also note that old scratches may contain rust deposits. To remove it, use a special tool - a rust converter. Due to its structure, it corrodes corrosion residues, turning them into a protective zinc layer.

When is painting not required?

It seems possible to remove scratches on the car body without painting with your own hands only if the main layer of the paintwork is not damaged. That is, the deformation touched only the surface layer - varnish. For a better inspection, it is necessary to thoroughly wash the car. So you will see maximum amount existing damage. And of course, polishing is not done on dirty car. Therefore, washing in any case is necessary for you.

Types of polishes

Removing deep scratches on a car body is a very real task. It is enough to choose the right paste. To date, there are three types of polishes:

• Wax.
• Synthetic.
• Abrasive.

So let's take a look at what each type is.

Wax

This type of car cosmetics is the most popular. Thanks to him, you can not only remove scratches on the car body without painting, but also give the car a shine. Main advantages - low price and availability.

Products containing natural wax do their job very well. However, this car cosmetics also has a drawback - at the first wash protective layer washed off and the car is exposed again external factors in the form of dust and UV rays. With its composition, it evenly fills all the scuffs and scratches on the paint - there are much fewer various "cobwebs" on the car.

Synthetics

This group of polishes includes several types of products. These are silicone products, cleaners, restorers, as well as polymers.

Let's consider the first type. Silicone polishes have a lot in common with their wax counterparts. They have good fluidity, so they are sold only in plastic bottles with a sprayer at the end. The advantages of this product is a good removal of scratches on the car body without painting. However, silicone ones have the same drawbacks as wax ones - low durability. After the first wash high pressure the entire composition is washed off the paintwork. Even the most quality products rarely stand two or three washes.

As for cleaners-restorers, their main plus is the ability to quickly restore paintwork. Thanks to the content of special chemical compounds such tools allow you to remove a layer of oxidized paint and remove stains from it. The scratches also disappear. The car becomes shiny. The main advantage of this tool is its versatility. These cleaners are equally good for both conventional coatings and metallics. However, there is a drawback - after processing, the body needs additional polishing (since a large layer of everything unnecessary has been removed), which will prevent the coating from clouding. It is best to use wax or silicone cosmetics. As for the validity period, the result will please the car owner for 6-12 months.

Polymer polish is one of the most promising, as it protects the body from all negative factors - salt, dust, road bitumen and rays. After such treatment, the color of the car will become more saturated, and the dirt will not stick to the surface so much. The disadvantages include the complexity of application (only with the help and the high cost of the product compared to analogues.

Abrasives

This is the most effective remedy to remove scratches from the car body, but no less dangerous. Therefore, such processing is used only in special cases, if it is necessary to quickly restore the paint. During processing, the abrasive particles of the polish remove a certain percentage of the varnish from the car. It is carried out very carefully, as there is a risk paintwork damage(sandpaper effect). Plus - high efficiency. Disadvantages - the complexity of implementation and the need to apply a subsequent layer of polish, less abrasive.

How to process the body with your own hands?

This operation can be performed both manually and with an electric grinder. In the first case, the polishing compound is applied to a soft, lint-free cloth and mechanical movements rubbed in a circle. In the second, the machine will do all the work - all that remains is to direct it to the car body and select desired speed rotation.

It is worth noting that it is recommended to use a machine to remove scratches - this way you will achieve the maximum best result. In its absence, you can purchase a nozzle for a drill. The machine is prewashed (preferably under high pressure). Next, dry the body thoroughly. If there are gnat or bitumen marks on the surface that the pressure washer did not remove, use any solvent (such as mineral spirits). Visually divide the car body into several parts, by squares (half of the trunk, hood, and so on).

This way you have time to apply the paste before it dries. Spread it over the entire area of ​​the circle. The speed of the machine should be minimal, so as not to "scratch off" all the paint by negligence. Do not apply too much pressure on the varnish layer. If polish, do not forget to further process the body with wax or silicone, otherwise the work will be inconclusive.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, this can happen to anyone - cut off, hooked in a parking lot, driving on a gravel road, a stone flew off and left an unpleasant mark on the car. Answer the question “Who is to blame? Looking for witnesses! we can't but about how remove scratches on the car yourself, and most importantly - at the lowest cost and maximum effect , we'll tell.

An accident is not an accident, but a scratch remains!

Such minor damage to the body, like a scratch, unsettles. Indeed, on the one hand, this small defect does not affect the operation of the machine as a whole, on the other hand, if corrective measures are not taken in time, then corrosion can do its rusty business, ruin the car seriously and result in a round sum for the motorist. Therefore, without postponing the solution of the problem indefinitely, evaluate the degree of damage to the car coating and select suitable option correction of the damaged element.

Determine how deep the scratch is from the condition of the paintwork. If it reaches the base coat, primer or metal, then polishing such damage is impossible and not necessary. It is better to turn to professionals, because self-polishing - straightening - local painting can make the defect more noticeable. A competent specialist will close this issue more efficiently.

If the scratch is not deep and has broken only the top layer of varnish, then it suits you polishing. By the way, all kinds of wax pencils, anti-scratches and non-professional polishes can only retouch scratches on a car, but not completely eliminate them. And only professional polishes using a polishing machine make it possible to get rid of such damage. In general, this method can also be used for non-professional polishes, the only thing the consumer should be prepared for in this case is that the process will take a lot of time, but as a result, the scratch will still be noticeable. Although many motorists are quite satisfied with this quality of polishing.

Many types of scratches

Often we can take scratches for scratches at all. For example, when another painted bumper comes into contact with the car body, wooden products, trolleys with a rubber stop, or simply an object that is softer in density than the paintwork. In such cases, we will see not a scratch, but particles of an object that has come into contact with the body. They are simply "transferred" in the contact patch on your car's paintwork.

If the object is harder than the coating on the body, then in this case we get a scratch. Removing scratches from a car body will depend on the depth of the risks. Some are easy to deal with, while others will have to be tricky.

Let's break it down by features:

Small scratches that do not touch the main layer of the paintwork can be removed with hand polished and rubbing with wax;
Medium damage to the paintwork up to the primer, metal and plastic;
Old - the appearance of corrosion and rust. Here you can not do without stripping to the metal with the help of special anti-rust agents;
"Stuck" particles are residues from contact with objects with a lower density than paint.

Where to begin?

To start removing scratches, you need to make sure that these are not paint or other material residues. You do not need special tools and tools, only your hands will come in handy. The bottom line is to distinguish a protruding mark from a deepening scratch. Run your fingernail over the damage at a right angle, and if the mark is convex, then this is just a mark from contact with another object. It can be easily removed with special means to remove resinous substances or polishing paste or "mild" solvent.

First you need to wash the damage with soapy water and apply polish to the protruding mark. After that, repeat circular movements until completely removed. Thoroughly wipe the treated area with a clean cloth to remove any remaining polish. And finally apply protective wax, which will give the body a unique shine.

If you are convinced that this is a scratch, the first step is to determine the depth. It may be that only the top layer of paint is affected, or it has reached the ground, and then only auto cosmetics are indispensable, professional body repair is needed.
