Car Scratch Repair Guide

Restore Your Car’s Paintwork with ScuffDoc

Scratches on your car can be frustrating, whether caused by accidental damage, road debris, or car park mishaps. ScuffDoc’s car scratch repair in Nottingham ensures your vehicle looks as good as new.

Unlike body shops that require lengthy appointments and high costs, our mobile car scratch repair service provides high-quality scratch removal at your location, whether at home or work.

Common Causes of Car Scratches 

Car scratches can happen for many reasons. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Parking Mishaps – Tight spaces and careless drivers often lead to scratches and scuffs.
  • Key Scratches – Accidental or deliberate damage can leave deep marks.
  • Road Debris – Small stones and gravel kicked up while driving can cause paint damage.
  • Harsh Weather – Hail, wind-blown debris, and prolonged sun exposure can wear down paint.
  • Improper Car Washing – Using rough sponges or automatic car washes can create swirl marks.

Protect your vehicle from damage with paint protection and bodywork services.

Types of Car Scratches & How They Are Repaired

1. Clear Coat Scratches (Minor Damage)

  • Affect only the top protective layer of paint.
  • Can often be polished out without repainting.

2. Paint Layer Scratches (Moderate Damage)

  • Extend beyond the clear coat into the coloured paint layer.
  • Require touch-ups or respraying for a smooth finish.

3. Deep Scratches & Primer Damage (Severe Damage)

  • Reach the primer or metal body, making your car prone to rust.
  • Need professional filling, sanding, repainting, and sealing.

If your scratch extends beyond the clear coat, our professional car scratch repair service can restore your vehicle’s appearance.
