Have a visual inspection first. If it's a minor scratch, you don't need plastic surgery. Just polish it. If the damage has reached the point of deformation, you should go to the store for repair.

2. Notify the insurance company to investigate and determine the damage.

After the accident, call your auto insurance company first, and then the insurance loss adjuster will conduct on-site investigation and take appearance photos, so be sure to protect the scene before the loss adjuster comes.

3. Enter the garage for maintenance.

Car maintenance personnel will give a rough estimate. And time, if the vehicle is deformed by friction, it is necessary to carry out sheet metal shaping first to flatten the damaged board surface, which is the first working procedure.

4. Turn to the putty coating process.

Vehicles with good appearance will drive to the place where putty is scraped, and the professional putty scraping master will polish the putty, then dry the putty and smooth it with sandpaper.

5. Start the process.

After scraping, the place touched by hand is very smooth and flat, and then the primer can be sprayed. After spraying, wait for a period of time, and finally grind off the points on the primer with fine sandpaper to make the paint surface smooth and flat without holes.

6. Prepare to spray vehicle exterior paint.

The next step is to spray the exterior paint of the vehicle. The paint mixing technician will adjust the color of the original paint surface, and the paint spraying technician will enter a special spray booth to paint the exterior of the vehicle. The baking time is generally about 15 minutes.

7. Polishing, waxing and car washing.

Finally, the polished vehicle will be polished by a polishing technician, then coated with body wax, and then the vehicle will be cleaned. In this way, the scrapped vehicles will be disposed of, and the general vehicles will be out of sight after being repaired. Unless the technician's level is limited, the original car effect can be achieved.

Extended data:

Abbreviations of verbal terms "scratch" and "impact" in traffic accidents. Rubbing refers to the slight contact between traffic subjects, especially between motor vehicles, between motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles or between non-motor vehicles, generally excluding contact with pedestrians. Although these contacts are slight, they will also have some harmful consequences, such as scratches on the surface of vehicles such as cars or non-motor vehicles, paint damage, etc., generally excluding physical deformation. Bump refers to the slight contact between traffic subjects, which is more serious than rubbing, and usually causes normal deformation such as dents on the surface of vehicles.
