Scratch Repair & Removal

Scratch Repair & Removal

A cheaper alternative to repair-and-repaint, it is often possible to polish the scratched area, either removing it completely or reducing it greatly.

If you have just noticed a scratch on your car, then we will have a way to repair it. Quite often we find that some scratches are more serious than others, which means that we use many different methods for removing them, from simply polishing them out to a bodywork respray service.

Light Scratches - Quick, Easy Fixes with Paint Correction

Light scratches? We can fix it.
If the mark has only just scratched the clear coat (that’s the top lacquer layer), it can usually be polished out with our paintwork correction service.

These are the kind of light scratches you’ll pick up from washing the car, drying it off, or the odd careless wipe-down. They show up as swirl marks — especially when the sun’s out.
Paintwork correction is designed to deal with exactly this. We’ll get it back to a glossy, swirl-free shine.

Car Scratch Repair

Medium Scratches - The Bushes Got You Again?

Broader scratches are often caused by overgrown bushes, dogs jumping up at the car door, or being careless with luggage.

Good news: if the scratches aren’t too deep, we can usually machine polish them out.
It’s a simple, cost-effective fix and often takes care of the problem completely.

Even when a scratch is a bit too deep to disappear fully, polishing usually:

  • Shortens it (the shallow ends vanish)
  • Softens what’s left so it’s much less noticeable
  • The rest can be touched in.

Deeper Scratches — Wet Sanding

Trying to polish out deep scratches alone can actually make things worse — leaving ridges or a rippled finish you’ll spot every time the light catches it.

With wet sanding, we:

  1. Carefully level down the whole area with ultra-fine emery paper
  2. Then buff and polish it back to a flawless gloss

It’s a skilled process but incredibly effective, especially for deeper scratches and bird dropping etching.

Cosmetic Repair

Some scratches are too deep to buff out with a machine polisher, so the only way to get a perfect repair would be to repaint the panel. However, a cosmetic repair can be a suitable compromise.

Scratches are not always even in depth. It's often the case that a scratch barely marks the "clear coat lacquer" at one end, but has penetrated through to the primer at the other end. In instances like this, it is often possible to completely remove a large portion of the scratch whilst another portion has been greatly reduced, leaving just a very small area of broken paintwork. In our experience, the majority of people would decide that the remaining damage would not warrant the expenditure of repainting the whole panel, in which case touching/filling in with paint is a welcome alternative.

It's frequently the case that scratches appear low down on the car's sills and valances, and although the scratches are quite serious, you have to either be on your hands and knees or standing quite far from the car to actually see them. Generally, in instances like this, a cosmetic repair is often a suitable fix.
