Minor Scratch Repair Cost

TeamJesus · 2014-11-12 08:15:43

Hi, I just bought my first car. It's an 05 Aygo. It's in good condition overall except there are a few scratches.. no chips or dents! I want to get the scratches repaired but most threads I've found on boards talk about resprays which I definitely don't need! Do you know how much it would cost to get these scratches…

Hi,

Do you know how much it would cost to get these scratches "buffed out"? Ideally I'd like to get it done all over.

Not all scratches can be buffed out, only very light scratches can be. If you run your nail over them, and can feel that they are deep, you're out of luck unfortunately.

As Alan says any deeper than that and you're out of luck.
If not though, i use a heavy cut Polish and finish with a less abrasive one. That usually removes even the worst scratches that can be taken out.

Don't be doing it every day though, you'll run out of paint pretty quick

Here's an example of a bad scratch i removed from my car successfully.
