People consider the aesthetics, features and price before bringing a new vehicle home. Once the car is purchased, the onus is on the owner to keep it in top-notch condition. However, even with all the precautionary measures, cars are not immune to damage and the most common type of car damage is scratches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scratches can affect the overall appearance of your car and car enthusiasts prefer not to have a single one on their vehicles. We have compiled a list of the types of car scratches, their causes and how to avoid them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-scratches-affect-a-car\"><strong>How Scratches Affect a Car<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/-e9uVR3CQSXSBVxiJiRizQnEqMk8XXG8bg1aD8tDFzr2Q763ZK85DYVKl26tZHPEvwkNLrkBytc69Isj_7itv7vGK1m71oEtTvgvM7DUSOuKmJxugM9lrewyQNjO5IIxhpcp0Ukc77YT2iGFKOIGR44IfX86AGhywcccePNKX3PiCTDTMiUq153OLQ\" alt=\"man sitting beside scratched car\"\/><figcaption>Scratches can lower down your car&#8217;s resale value  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Car scratches, besides being an unpleasant sight, also have several other effects. First up, car scratch repairs can cost a fair amount of money depending on the nature of the scratch. While some minor scratches can be fixed easily with DIY techniques and available components, major ones require a visit to the service centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, unfixed car scratches can have an impact on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/car-resale-value\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">car\u2019s resale value<\/a>. Buyers tend to check the vehicle for any apparent damage and scratches can prompt them to offer a relatively lower price. Scratches are rather difficult to hide and deeper ones can easily be detected with the naked eye. It is advised to get the scratches fixed at the earliest to avoid further deterioration and inconvenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-different-types-of-car-scratches\"><strong>Different Types of Car Scratches<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vehicles are designed to withstand different climatic and road conditions. They are able to do so with the protective layers added during manufacture. Scratches can be formed on different layers depending on the impact and material type. Listed below are the different types of car scratches and how you can identify them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-clear-coat-scratches\"><strong>CLEAR COAT SCRATCHES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the most common types of car scratches. Clear coat scratches are formed on the outermost protective layer found above the paint. The layer is present to protect the car from acid rain, dust, and direct exposure to sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-identify\"><strong>HOW TO IDENTIFY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are several ways to identify a clear coat scratch, the most convenient one is to use a fingernail. If a scratch is visible on the car but you cannot feel it with your fingernail, it would be a clear coat scratch. There are several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/car-scratch-removers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">car scratch removers<\/a> which can help you get rid of clear coat scratches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-paint-or-base-coat-scratch\"><strong>PAINT OR BASE COAT SCRATCH<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/w4w-hv-khI1G-kJ5Jbsj3Wlcx0mLqQhOJ5t42uY0CsvaFFIEFbR2YcHn8ENtJ3vEAHT9yM9w9a4QjF6-K1s35TrnEixFT3ln3XmNNDeiBLvLy83kqyEvDpp9EKF4Hpq85zY51zc8L35vFKAgKmvpPCY7Ix-fXQtEleBHYPadS0sbnZvtt16QznGZew\" alt=\"types of car scratches: scratch on car door\"\/><figcaption>Paint scratches peels of the layer of car&#8217;s paint but does not expose the metal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Paint scratch also referred to as coat scratch is among the car scratches types. A paint scratch peels off the layer of paint but it does not go through completely. These scratches are also relatively easy to fix with suitable kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-identify-1\"><strong>HOW TO IDENTIFY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A paint scratch can be identified with the same method used for clear coat scratches. However, the outcome is different for paint scratches. For a base coat scratch, you will feel it once you run your finger over it. You\u2019ll likely still see the paint colour instead of the metal layer for this scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-primer-scratch\"><strong>PRIMER SCRATCH<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/wNBBppdiRkS8TVUOjPfpF4oEL2pdopZRWp6MIUBjHfnGZcdFG8OoXokKQWc3tANRZNDvSpfKQzYvtoXREgt127ttbf1VJQ4mX5m7WqT19lSZH6X0vqYx4dAuHxADxYymFPpSGzifRmEHMV7kBYFv5F_aTPc8Cd5pTloh6ArtgwC_Ed7Hoxu-GPT7Og\" alt=\"car scratch expose metal\"\/><figcaption>Primer scratches are the deepest type of car scratches that expose the metal in a car&#8217;s body<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the deepest types of car scratches you may come across. Primer scratches expose the metal of your car by going through the upper layers. Primer scratches, if not fixed promptly, can also cause further damage to your vehicles like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/car-body-rust\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">car body rust<\/a> and other issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, these scratches are rather difficult to repair on your own. You might have to take your car to a service station to get it back to pre-scratch condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-identify-2\"><strong>HOW TO IDENTIFY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A primer scratch is rather easy to identify. If you are able to see the bear metal, you have a primer scratch. Exposure of metal to the atmosphere can lead to further deterioration and damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wheel-scratch\"><strong>WHEEL SCRATCH<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all scratches appear on a car\u2019s body or cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/car-paint-damage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">car paint damage<\/a>. A wheel scratch is also among the types of car scratches you may come across on your vehicle. Also known as curb rash, a wheel scratch usually occurs when the wheel is rubbed against a curb. A scuff or scratch is caused when a wheel rubs through a curb, however, both are different. The major difference between a scuff and a scratch is the intensity. A scratch is deeper than a scuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-identify-3\"><strong>HOW TO IDENTIFY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Wheel scratches are fairly visible and can be seen with the naked eye. Deep cuts indicate a scratch while lighter ones can be scuffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-plastic-trim-scratch\"><strong>PLASTIC TRIM SCRATCH<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These scratches are on the plastic trim of your car. Plastic trim scratches are among the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/minor-car-repairs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">common car repairs<\/a> but in extreme cases, you might have to change the component rather than get it fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-glass-scratch\"><strong>GLASS SCRATCH<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"types of car scratches: scratch on car's window\" class=\"wp-image-74127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-421x263.jpg 421w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-558x349.jpg 558w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-363x227.jpg 363w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-250x156.jpg 250w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-774x484.jpg 774w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-672x420.jpg 672w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-437x273.jpg 437w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-301x188.jpg 301w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-771x482.jpg 771w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-669x418.jpg 669w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/02083811\/Types-Of-Car-Scratches-_-Body-9-2-11-22-435x272.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>It is unsafe to drive with scratches on windshield as vision can be impaired<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A glass scratch only occurs on the windows or windshield of a vehicle. Like any other scratch, it can ruin the appearance of your vehicle. It is also unsafe to drive with scratches on the windshield.

Listed below are the most common causes of car scratches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-automatic-car-wash\"><strong>AUTOMATIC CAR WASH<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/Ma3ibM5k8VOyov0JDDNSLEdKu9MJmSEUYHYJ-Pof7-x8SC21FaH5pcT11y_pYHmP91a9McAMQMVerak6Pz_d4cv9biHTukl42q7s6gfEFvdgIpUge_oh-qOQvQWckRrFGVe32GX2MFJ6KHppdbINw8M_unxqPGba_nruSotNp0hrVjFpDX_2Coeysg\" alt=\"automatic car wash\"\/><figcaption>Debris from previous washes can also cause scratches on your car during automatic wash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Brushes used in automatic car washes can have debris from previous washes. This happens when the crew does not wash the brushes after every wash. The unclean brushes can cause scratches on your car. To avoid such inconveniences opt for popular car wash services like popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/car-wash-dubai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">car wash in Dubai<\/a>, Abu Dhabi and other cities in the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-improper-washing\"><strong>IMPROPER WASHING<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The types of clothes and components you use for cleaning the car can also contribute to scratches. For instance, an abrasive cloth can cause more damage than good. It is advised to use suitable cloth along with proper cleaning components for better results. You can also check out these reasons <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/car-still-dirty-after-wash\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">why your car is still dirty after a wash<\/a> and ensure effective cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rocks-or-pebbles\"><strong>ROCKS OR PEBBLES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A car travels through different terrains and turfs. When you drive behind a vehicle, particularly a heavy one, there are chances it may divert rocks or pebbles from its tyres towards your car. The only effective way to avoid it is to keep your distance when driving behind heavy vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bird-excrement-and-dead-bugs\"><strong>BIRD EXCREMENT AND DEAD BUGS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/o29xCrC74fpiPDcRoPSEAHY7DpX7HRhjqEKp85H-Hsv3P1z-w9MWNrI48cpJDlPV-knHhtgsWqBl9ENJszVnQRg8GDvzWIL9rzjHR_OvZqBKn57jq80eggNu9UGKUquQo_dhealEm88o6D7erG0AKrpMCVNTJQIAncnVizPmW_hxoF2_p_Okb2zGqw\" alt=\"bird droppings on car\"\/><figcaption>Bird droppings, if not cleaned promptly, can mix with car&#8217;s paint which and cause scratches during removal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bird excrements are not an unfamiliar sight particularly if you park your car under trees or poles. The acidic waste material if not cleaned promptly can mix with the car\u2019s paint and become hard to remove. The attempt to remove the settled stains can cause scratches on your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, dead bugs can also cause the same problem and lead to scratches if the fixture is delayed. Avoid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/car-park-under-tree\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">parking your car under trees<\/a> or places where birds are in excess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hanging-tree-branches\"><strong>HANGING TREE BRANCHES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some routes may involve travelling between a long range of trees and plants. If the branches of the trees are hanging towards the road, they may brush over your car. The point branches can cause different types of scratches on cars. Try to avoid such routes or keep your car in the middle lane to avoid contact with the branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-poor-parking-habits\"><strong>POOR PARKING HABITS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/VzandjCF3WjPw0vInqGq12Rnruo4BLEDkYBWWh5Cm1Si9Ij-igxoSYP24T4X6AJTq51TsYiVPx_rRxTqCL7W5FzBenZaYPnhl3g4wpH5OV4pN_u7e-07BuVgObsIL8VUH-BPFDERyDrtUQm2JHj9-iwDZZKz6UCtGS0VWl8SBmoU0JDd1hp2vL8bkg\" alt=\"cars parked near curb\"\/><figcaption>Poor parking habits can put the car in contact with curb and billboards, leading to scratches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad parking habits can also cause different types of scratches on your car.
