A scratch or dent does not automatically require a full panel repaint. It also cannot automatically be solved by polishing.

Clear-coat marks

Fine defects within the available clear coat may respond to measured correction. Inspection and a test section establish the realistic improvement.

Chips and deeper scratches

Colour-matched touch-in paint can reduce contrast and protect selected exposed areas. It remains a local repair and is not guaranteed to become invisible from every angle.

Dents and damaged paint

Paintless dent repair may preserve the original finish where shape, access and paint condition allow. Creased metal, cracked paint or structural damage needs bodyshop assessment and may require refinishing.

AVP explains which option fits the defect before work begins, including when a specialist repair is the better route.
