Can detailing actually remove car scratches and scuffs?
Yes, is the simple answer – a detailer can remove scratches, and certainly improve appearance. In fact, scratch removal is a common request from our customers as scratches make a significant impact on the appearance of a car. We pride ourselves on the ability to buff even the most stubborn scuff and get your paintwork looking like it’s just had a full respray.
So, how do we do it? We are polishing experts and pride ourselves on enhancing gloss, restoring heavily swirled, faded paint surfaces, and getting rid of nasty scrapes which ruin the pristine look of a car.
ABOUT USUsing the best quality compounds and top spec machines to gently remove the marks in question and correct the paintwork, we then buff the whole car to make it give a smooth, shiny quality from boot to bonnet. Your car will be back to mint condition with a mirror finish. Did you know detailing can also remove scratches to glass?
For deeper, more visible scuffs and scratches, we’ll use a more meticulous paint correction technique. This can significantly reduce the visibility of any cosmetic concerns. This paint correction involves a thorough abrasive process which addresses the root cause and blends the area with the surrounding paint.

Alex did an unbelievable job on my 1987 Toyota mr2. After 2 years in the workshop it was in a tired state and he made it look brand new inside and out.

Types of car scuffs and scratches detailing can remove
The effectiveness of detailing to remove scratches depends on various circumstances. Detailing for car scratch removal is effective for minor imperfections, but it has its limitations. Types of car scuffs and scratches detailing can remove include:
Clear Coat Scratches
These are the simplest scratches to solve. The clear coat is protection which helps to provide a glossy finish and keeps the paint from being damaged. These clear coat scratches appear as white marks, and while they look unsightly, there is minimal damage to the paint and will vanish with a good quality polish and buff.
Primer Scratches
Primer scratches are deeper and reach the paint work of your car. They are much more noticeable and stand out due to the contrast between the undercoat and top paint layer. It takes a skilled detailer to reduce the visibility of primer scratches through paint correction.
When a scratch goes beyond the primer and exposes metal work, this is when the services of a body shop are required.
TailorMade
