Scratches on the Suzuki Cultus can be a common issue, especially with its relatively soft paint. Here’s how you can address them:

Minor Scratches: For light scratches that don’t go through the clear coat, you can use a scratch remover o r polish to buff out the marks. These products contain abrasive compounds that smooth the surface and make scratches less noticeable.
Deeper Scratches: For deeper scratches that penetrate the paint and clear coat, you will need to apply touch-up paint. It’s recommended to buy the exact paint code for your car from Suzuki’s service center o r trusted vendors.
DIY Repair: If you prefer doing it yourself, clean the scratched area thoroughly, apply a paint touch-up kit, and then use rubbing compound to smooth out the edges.
Professional Help: If the scratch is deep o r large, its better to seek professional help. A body shop can repair the scratch by respraying the affected area.
Solution:

Regular Waxing: Waxing your car regularly can help fill in minor surface scratches and prevent further damage.
Use Non-Abrasive Products: Be careful when using scratch removal products. Always choose non-abrasive options to avoid damaging the paint.
