Not every scratch is a polishing job
Polishing can help superficial defects, but deeper damage requires a different repair. We assess the scratch first so the method matches the condition of the paint.

Quick answers
Common questions about car scratch repair
Straightforward answers about light marks, deeper scratches and damaged paintwork.
Can every car scratch be polished out?
No. Very light surface marks may respond to polishing, but scratches that have cut through the paint layers usually require preparation and refinishing.
How can I tell if a scratch needs paint repair?
A scratch is more likely to need paint repair when it is clearly through the top finish, exposes a lower paint layer or substrate, or remains deep and visible after the area is cleaned.
Can scratches and dents be repaired together?
Yes. If the same area has both body deformation and paint damage, the bodyshop can assess the panel repair and refinishing work as one repair.
Can I upload scratch photos for a quote?
Yes. Upload close-up and wider photographs through the online repair quote form so the bodyshop can see both the scratch itself and its position on the vehicle.
