Shallow Scratches



Accidental shallow scratches on a Dodge Charger, like those caused by a grocery bag or near the door handle, can be quite common.

Feel the scratch; if it’s shallow, it will be unnoticeable to the touch.

Polishing is a straightforward solution for such scratches. Just follow these steps:

• Thoroughly wash your Dodge Charger to remove dirt and prep the body for polish. Here’s a guide on washing your vehicle properly;
  
• Choose a polishing product from a reputable brand and, if needed, consult with experts;
  
• Apply polish on a cloth or polishing disc to work better, especially in tight spots;
  
• Slowly and in circular motions, rub the polish into the Dodge Charger until the scratch disappears. Then, wipe off the excess polish.
  

If polishing doesn’t do the trick for minor scratches, consider using a specialized scratch remover, applying it similarly for better results.

Medium Scratches



Medium scratches that reach the paint layer can be challenging. These could be caused by stones from the road or minor collisions, but don’t worry, there’s a solution.

Special car varnish can be applied in layers to the affected area. It has waterproof and moisturizing properties to give the Dodge Charger’s body a glossy and durable finish.

The success of this method depends on the scratch's depth.

A Touch-Up Paint Pen is also a great option for smaller, localized repairs without repainting the entire area.

Remember: The pen contains the same automotive paint used in larger-scale jobs, so choose a color that matches your Dodge Charger’s paint code, usually found in the vehicle’s manual.

How to use such a pen?

• Assess the scratch: How deep is it? Does it reach the metal?;
  
• Wash your Dodge Charger thoroughly to remove dirt and contaminants;
  
• Prepare the surface for painting;
  
• If the scratch is small, clean, remove debris, and degrease the surface;
  
• Paint over the scratch carefully and patiently with the pen, treating it like a brush;
  
• If the scratch reaches the metal or shows signs of corrosion, clean it to the metal with sandpaper, treat with a rust converter, apply a primer, and then use the paint pen.
  

Through careful application of these methods, even medium scratches on a Dodge Charger can be effectively addressed, restoring the car’s impressive appearance.

Addressing Scratches on a Dodge Charger



Deep scratches are among the most unwelcome damages your Dodge Charger could endure, potentially affecting the vehicle's body itself. These mishaps could arise from unexpected accidents or collisions with solid objects.

In such instances, a comprehensive repaint of the Charger’s body becomes inevitable. The extent of this task will depend on the severity of the scratches.

Remember! Car repainting is a meticulous and challenging task. It demands precision, and there’s a considerable risk of further damage.

An improperly conducted paint job on your Dodge Charger may lead to:

• Color inconsistencies, where some elements appear darker or lighter due to mismatched color gamma;
  
• Potential smudges or droplets of paint on the Charger’s body if the paint is sprayed incorrectly;
  
• Over time, improperly applied paint may crack and fade;
  
• Development of corrosion under the paint, especially if some body areas are missed during painting.
  

Therefore, assessing your capabilities is crucial. For guaranteed results, consider professional services. If you choose to tackle the painting of the Dodge Charger yourself, here’s a step-by-step guide:
