Who Needs Scratch Removal?
Our scratch removal service is perfect for car owners who want to restore and maintain their vehicle’s appearance.
If you're planning to sell your car, removing scratches can boost its resale value and make it more appealing to buyers. For those nearing the end of a lease, it helps avoid costly penalties by ensuring the car looks well-maintained.
Even if you’re not selling or returning a lease, removing scratches simply brings back the shine and pride in your vehicle. It’s a smart, affordable way to keep your car looking its best—clean, polished, and free from visible surface damage.
What Types of Scratches Can We Remove?
Scratches may all look similar at first glance, but the depth and severity of each scratch determines how it should be treated, and what kind of tools and techniques will deliver the best results. At KA Body and Paint Repairs, we’re equipped to handle all types of automotive scratches.
​
Here’s a closer look at the common types we treat:
1. Clear Coat Scratches
Also called: Light scratches, swirl marks, minor abrasions
These are the most common and least severe scratches. They only affect the topmost layer of your vehicle's paint, known as the clear coat. These scratches often result from:
* Improper washing with dirty cloths or sponges
* Automated car washes
* Tree branches or light contact with bushes
* Dust or dirt particles rubbed into the paint
Repair Method:
We typically use machine polishing or paint correction compounds to gently buff away the scratch. Because the damage hasn’t penetrated the colour layer, this treatment restores the original shine without the need for repainting.
Why it matters: Left untreated, even light scratches can dull your paintwork over time.
2. Paint Layer Scratches
Also called: Medium scratches
​
These scratches go deeper than the clear coat and into the colour layer of the paint. They are usually caused by:
* Car doors hitting walls or other vehicles
* Sharp objects accidentally rubbing against the body
* Repeated brushing against rough surfaces
​
Repair Method:
We may use a combination of wet sanding, paint blending, and clear coat reapplication to repair these types of scratches. The goal is to match your existing paint perfectly, making the damage invisible.
​
Why it matters: These scratches, if ignored, may eventually lead to rust, especially if the affected area is exposed to water.
3. Surface Scuffs & Abrasions
Also called: Paint transfer marks or scuffs
​
These are shallow marks often caused by friction, not sharp impact. Typical examples include:
* Shopping trolleys scraping your bumper
* Brushes with walls, garage frames, or other vehicles
* Plastic-on-paint contact (bikes, bins, luggage)
​
Repair Method:
We remove scuff marks using a specialized buffing compound and paint-safe pads. In some cases, we apply a spot polish and protective wax finish to bring back a uniform shine.
​
Important note: Many scuffs may look worse than they are, they often sit on top of the clear coat and can be fixed quickly.
4. Key Scratches or Vandalism Marks
Also called: Deep line scratches or intentional damage
​
These are usually long, deep scratches created intentionally with sharp objects like keys, nails, or metal tools. These often cut through:
* The clear coat
* The colour layer
* And sometimes, all the way to the primer or metal underneath
​
Repair Method:
For deep scratches, we:
* Refill or smooth the affected area
* Precisely match your paint code
* Repaint and reapply a protective clear coat layer
* Buff and polish for a seamless finish
​
Why it matters: These are serious scratches that can lead to rust, chipping, and further spreading. The sooner they’re treated, the better.
