Scratch Removal

Can my vehicle's scratch be buffed out?

 

In the majority of cases, scratches that haven't penetrated the clear coat entirely can be effectively addressed through buffing and polishing, bringing back the original luster of your vehicle. To ascertain whether a scratch is likely to be remedied through buffing, there are a couple of straightforward methods.

 

Firstly, try the Fingernail Test: Gently run the smooth part of your fingernail across the scratch. If you can feel a deep groove, it indicates that the scratch might have breached the clear coat. In such instances, repainting may be necessary to fully address the damage.

 

A second method is the Water Test: Pour water onto the damaged area and observe the scratch. If the scratch becomes less visible or disappears when wet, it suggests that buffing and polishing can likely improve or entirely eliminate the appearance of the damage. The water test provides a preliminary indication of the potential results after detailing.

 

While these tests can offer a general idea, the effectiveness of buffing depends on the depth and severity of the scratch. If you have any uncertainties or specific questions about the condition of your vehicle's paint, seeking professional advice is recommended.
