Most scratches on a car are not deep, but they stand out in sunlight.
Most scratches on a car are not deep, but they stand out in sunlight. Swirl marks from automatic washes, light key scuffs and paint transfer from a bumped post all sit in the top layer of clear coat. For drivers in Markham, we assess each mark at your location and tell you plainly whether it can come out.
We begin with the fingernail test: if your nail does not catch in the scratch, it is probably in the clear coat and fixable. We measure paint thickness with a gauge, wash and decontaminate the panel, then use a machine polisher with a fine cutting compound and a foam pad, working small sections and checking under bright light.
The aim is to level the clear coat just enough to remove the mark, not to strip it. Paint transfer and scuffs often wipe off with less aggressive work. Black and dark-coloured cars show swirls most, which is why owners in areas like Bayview Fairway often ask us to do a whole-panel polish instead of spot repair, for an even result.
Deep scratches that reach the primer or metal cannot be polished out; they need touch-up paint or a body shop, and we will say so rather than thin your clear coat. After the correction, we apply a sealant or ceramic coating to help keep the finish glossy. Store-bought pens and kits can fill, but rarely remove.

Markham is mostly detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages in Unionville, Cornell and Berczy, with townhouse complexes and condo towers along Highway 7 and around Markham Centre, so we work in driveways, visitor lots and underground garages.
Salt and slush from the 404, 407 and Highway 7 build up on lower panels through winter, and new subdivisions and construction send dust onto paint. Spring pollen from the mature trees in older areas like Unionville settles on windshields and finishes.
Markham is spread out, and getting to a shop across the 404 or 407 can take a chunk of the day. Mobile detailing works in your driveway, condo garage or office lot and fits busy schedules.
We regularly work in Greensborough, Bayview Fairway and Rouge Fairways, and every other part of Markham.
