How can scratches or surface damage on WPC outdoor armchairs be effectively repaired?

Scratches or surface damage on WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) outdoor armchairs can detract from their appearance, but they can often be repaired with simple techniques. Here’s a step-by-step guide to restoring your WPC furniture:

1. Clean the Area: Start by washing the damaged area with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Let it dry completely.

2. Sand Lightly: Use fine-grit sandpaper (220-grit or higher) to gently smooth out the scratches. Avoid excessive sanding to prevent further damage.

3. Apply a Repair Kit: For deeper scratches, use a WPC-specific repair kit or a color-matched filler. Apply the filler evenly and let it dry as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

4. Buff and Polish: Once the filler is dry, lightly buff the area with a soft cloth to blend it with the surrounding surface. Apply a UV-resistant sealant for added protection.

5. Prevent Future Damage: Regularly clean your WPC armchairs and avoid dragging sharp objects across the surface. Use protective covers when not in use.

By following these steps, you can extend the lifespan of your WPC outdoor armchairs and keep them looking like new.
