Scratches and scuffs come in all shapes and depths, from car park scrapes to key marks, and the repair approach depends on how severe the damage actually is.
Light surface marks
Very light scuffs that only affect the clearcoat can sometimes be improved through careful polishing and cutting back the surface, without needing a full repaint.
Deeper scratches
Where a scratch has gone through the colour coat, the area typically needs preparing, filling if necessary, colour matching, and blending with the surrounding paintwork before a protective clearcoat is applied.
