👉 Automobile "pimples," also known as scratches or dents, are superficial surface imperfections on a vehicle's exterior that can significantly impact its appearance and, in some cases, its performance or value. These imperfections are typically caused by minor impacts from road debris, other vehicles, or even the vehicle's own movements, such as when driving over rough terrain. Pimples can range from small, shallow scratches to deeper dents, and while they are usually not structurally damaging, they can detract from a car's aesthetics. Regular maintenance and careful driving can help minimize the formation of pimples, but they are often addressed through cosmetic repairs like sandblasting or painting to restore the vehicle's original look.
