Scratch Repair

What's Included in Scratch Repair

Scratch repair starts by identifying whether the damage is in the clear coat, paint layer, primer, or panel surface.

Surface Scratch Review

Checking whether scratches are light enough for polishing or need additional repair.

Scuff & Transfer Removal

Removing suitable scuffs, paint transfer, and surface marks where the finish allows.

Clear-Coat Repair

Addressing clear-coat scratches and finish defects with the right repair approach.

Spot Repair

Repairing localized paint damage when the scratch is deeper than the surface.

Repainting & Blending

Refinishing affected areas and blending when deeper scratches require paint work.

Finish Correction

Improving gloss and smoothness after repair so the area looks clean and even.

We explain whether buffing, spot repair, refinishing, or repainting is appropriate.

03

Repair & Refinish

The affected area is corrected, repaired, or refinished based on the damage.

04

Finish Review

We check gloss, texture, and color consistency before delivery.
