Rock chips and scratches are a common occurrence and detract from the overall appearance of your vehicle. Invest in protecting your paint now and save big down the road. If you ignore scratches and rock chips in your vehicles paint, they could turn into a much bigger problem like rust or corrosion. Get those unsightly imperfections fixed before it’s too late.
For scratches just run your fingernail across the scratch. If your nail glides across the scratch without catching on it then that is considered a minor scratch and should buff out. Deeper scratches could require a body shop for filler and painting at least an entire panel if you want to go that route. Touching up a scratch is much more cost effective and if done right can be barely noticeable from just a couple feet away.
