Can you buff out scratches on a ceramic coating?
Theoretically, buffing out a scratch on a car with a ceramic coating is no different to buffing out a scratch on a car without, however, because the ceramic coating is harder, harsher buffing pads and coarser cutting compounds are required.
This will mean that it can take far longer to buff out the scratch and great care is required.
The other difference is that when the scratch is removed or reduced and the repair is done, ceramic coating needs to be reapplied.
Of course, this is dependent on it being possible to buff out the scratch. As on any car, if the scratch is deeper than the clear coat, then it usually cannot be buffed out and may require a cosmetic repair.
