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 Scarborough, 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 Woburn 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.

Scarborough has plenty of detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages, plus townhouse complexes and a growing number of condo and apartment towers around Scarborough Town Centre and along Kennedy and Eglinton, so we are comfortable setting up in a driveway, a visitor lot or an underground garage.
Winter salt and slush on the 401, Kingston Road and Lawrence Avenue East leave heavy residue on lower panels and in carpets. Cars parked near the lake along the Bluffs deal with damp air and spring pollen from the many mature trees.
A drive from Scarborough to a downtown shop can mean an hour or more each way on the 401 or DVP. Mobile detailing saves that trip and works well with the many driveways in the area.
We regularly work in Birch Cliff, Woburn and Dean Park, and every other part of Scarborough.
