Scratch Removal Chicago
The first question with any scratch is the fingernail test: drag a nail across it. If the nail glides over, the scratch lives in the clear coat and machine polishing can genuinely remove it. If the nail catches, it's through to paint or primer — and no amount of polishing will fix what needs touch-up. We'll tell you which one you have before you spend a dollar. Mobile scratch removal, anywhere in Chicagoland.

What Machine Polishing Removes
Clear-coat scratches, scuffs from bushes and parking garages, wash marring, buffer trails from a previous bad detail, and transfer marks where another car's paint or a shopping cart left material on yours — transfer often looks like deep damage and wipes away almost completely. These are permanently corrected, not hidden under glaze. Send a photo with a fingernail in frame for the fastest honest answer.
What We Won't Pretend to Fix
Scratches through the clear coat, chips to primer, and key lines down to metal need paint work. We'll say so, and you'll have saved the cost of a polish that couldn't work.
Common Questions
Will the scratch come back?
No — polishing removes the damaged clear coat around it. What can come back is new scratching from automatic car washes, which is why we finish with sealant and recommend hand washing.
Whole car covered in fine scratches?
That's swirl damage — what you want is our one-step paint correction, which treats the entire finish rather than one spot.
