Scratches and dings are some of the most infuriating things drivers have to deal with. Regardless of how they happen, our team John Lee Mazda can help remove any scratches that occur on your Mazda vehicle. There are a few different types of car scratches, however, which must be dealt with in different ways. Let’s explore them below.
1. Clear Coat Scratches
The outer layer of your car’s coating is the clear coat; scratches to this only affect the outermost layer and don’t penetrate too deep. These blemishes are relatively common, as even light contact with an object can scuff the clear coat.
Many of these scratches can be buffed out with specialized chemicals. Our dealership can treat these scratches to remove them from your vehicle.
2. Paint Scratches
The next deeper layer is the paint; scratches that reach this layer pierce the finishing layer and affect the actual color. A little more effort is required to remove these types of car scratches. Our John Lee Mazda technicians will apply a gritty scratch remover to remove uneven edges, then apply paint and clear coating.
3. Deep/Primer Scratches
Finally, we come to the deepest layer — also known as the primer. The primer is placed directly onto the car’s body before the paint; essentially, it’s the deepest level before a scratch affects the metal. Our dealership will de-rust and clean up the scratch, sandpaper it down, buff it out, and apply new paint/clear coat to remove these stains.
