Scratch repair in Dubai
Scratch repair begins by finding how deep the mark goes. A light clear-coat scuff may respond to careful polishing; a scratch through the colour or primer needs a paint process, and a gouge into the panel may need body work. Treating every mark with the same compound can remove healthy clear coat without fixing the damage.

How to book
Getting help with scratch repair
Assess clear coat marks and deeper paint scratches.
- 01

- 02

The team will confirm whether help with scratch repair is available for your location and whether inspection, transport or a workshop visit is appropriate.
- 03
Agree the scope before work
Confirm the expected finish, preparation, price and timing after the surface has been assessed.
Assess the finish before choosing a repair
Wash the area and inspect it under even light. Check whether your fingernail catches in the scratch and whether a different colour or bare substrate shows beneath it. Note its length, position and whether it crosses a panel edge. Marks from transferred paint can look worse than the damage underneath until cleaned.
What the finished work should cover
For shallow marks, a controlled correction may reduce visibility while preserving clear coat. Deeper damage can require filling, priming, colour and clear coat, often with a blend. Ask what result is realistic before work starts; a tiny local repair may still be more visible on a dark or metallic finish.
What to send for a useful quote
Send a close-up and a wider daylight photo showing the panel. Include the paint code and mention any ceramic coating or prior repair. The quote depends on depth, finish and the size of the blending area.
Avoid making the damage worse
Avoid aggressive rubbing or solvent experiments on unknown coatings. Exposed metal can corrode, so deeper scratches should be assessed rather than left indefinitely.
Common questions
Can a scratch be polished out?
Only if it is within the clear coat and enough coating remains. Deeper marks need paint or body repair.
Is a touch-up pen the same as professional repair?
A touch-up can protect a small chip and reduce contrast, but it usually does not create an invisible finish on a long scratch.
