Can a scratch be polished out?

If your fingernail does not catch in it, usually yes. If it catches, it has gone through the lacquer and needs paint. Send a photo and we will tell you which it is.

The car has been keyed down one side. What does that involve?

Each scratched panel is flatted, primed and painted, with the colour blended between them so there are no edges. It is more work than one panel, and we price it from your photos panel by panel.

Not if it is done properly. That is the whole job: matching the colour, matching the texture and blending into the next panel.

Car Scratch Repair in Manchester

Light scratches that have not gone through the clear coat can be polished out. Anything deeper gets flatted, primed and painted, blended so the repair disappears into the panel.
