At Approved Auto Body Repair, we repair vehicle scratches ranging from light surface marks to deeper damage that reaches the paint layers below.
Our Middletown technicians inspect the depth and location of each scratch before choosing the proper correction method. Some marks can be polished, while deeper scratches may require sanding, refinishing, and color matching.
The goal is to remove or reduce the visible damage without performing more repair work than necessary, leaving the affected panel with a cleaner and more consistent finish.
Light clear-coat scratches and surface marks can often be reduced or removed through polishing and refinishing techniques. Deeper scratches that penetrate the color coat or primer generally require more involved paint repair.
A technician can inspect the scratch under proper lighting to determine whether it is limited to the clear coat or has cut into the base color, primer, or bare panel underneath.
No. Polishing is most effective for light defects in the upper clear-coat layer. Deep scratches usually need additional preparation, color application, and clear coat to restore the finish properly.
Yes, especially when a scratch exposes primer or bare metal. Repairing exposed areas helps restore appearance and can also reduce the chance of moisture reaching unprotected metal surfaces.
