Car scratches happen to everyone. Whether it’s a shopping trolley, a tree branch, or a minor accident, scratches can spoil your car’s appearance. The good news is that professional scratch repair can fix most damage and protect your car’s value.
At Infiniti Motor Group in Barking, we provide fast, high-quality auto scratch repair services. Our repair service uses smart repair techniques to restore your car quickly and affordably.
Types of Car Scratches We Fix
Your car paint has three layers: clear coat (shiny top layer), colour coat, and primer. Different scratches need different repairs.
Clear Coat Scratches: These minor scratches only affect the top layer. They often disappear when wet but reappear when dry. Common causes include washing with dirty clothes or light contact. A scratch remover can sometimes fix these surface marks.
Paint Scratches: These go deeper into the colour layer and are more visible. They may appear white or show different colours. Paint scratch repair needs professional colour-matched work for perfect results.
Deep Scratches: The most serious type, reaching the primer or bare metal. These need immediate attention to prevent rust. Deep scratches always require professional car body repairs using proper techniques.
