Our Scratch Removal Process

Step One: Initial Assessment

Technicians begin by thoroughly evaluating the depth and severity of the scratch to determine the most effective repair method

Step Two: Surface Preparation

The damaged area is meticulously cleaned and prepared for treatment, which may involve careful wet sanding for deeper scratches to even out the surface.

Step Three: Scratch Treatment

Depending on the scratch depth, our experts will employ the appropriate technique, such as polishing for clear coat scratches, applying touch-up paint for base coat scratches, or using glazing putty for deeper imperfections.

Step Four: Blending and Priming

For scratches that penetrate beyond the paint layers, primer is applied to prevent rust and ensure proper paint adhesion. This material is then carefully sanded to blend seamlessly with the surrounding undamaged surface.

Step Five: Color Matching & Finishing

Finally, our certified technicians expertly apply color-matched paint and a protective clear coat, focusing on restoring your vehicle's aesthetic quality for a seamless and protected finish.
