How do I know if a scratch is fixable by polishing?

Run your fingernail across the scratch. If your nail catches, the scratch is likely deeper than the clear coat and may need touch-up paint. If your nail glides over it, it is likely a clear coat scratch that polishing can fully remove.

Surface scratches are inevitable — car parks, road debris, branches, and careless washing all leave their mark. Dr. Autocare's targeted scratch removal service assesses the depth and nature of each scratch and applies the most appropriate solution.

For scratches within the clear coat (the most common type), our machine polishing and finishing techniques can completely eliminate the mark or reduce its visibility to near-invisible levels. For deeper scratches or stone chips that have reached the base coat, we use touch-up paint and blending techniques to achieve the most invisible repair possible without a full panel respray.

Our mobile scratch removal service covers all vehicle types and paint colours. We bring colour-matched touch-up solutions and professional finishing compounds, delivering results that are far superior to DIY scratch remover products.
