Detailing can help reduce the visibility of minor scratches on a car’s surface, but it typically cannot completely remove deep scratches that penetrate the clear coat or paint layers. Professional detailing techniques such as polishing and buffing may be able to diminish the appearance of light surface scratches by smoothing out the surrounding area and blending the paint, making them less noticeable. However, for deeper scratches, more extensive repair methods such as touch-up paint or professional refinishing may be necessary to achieve satisfactory results. It’s essential to consult with a professional detailing service or an automotive specialist to assess the severity of the scratches and determine the most appropriate course of action for repair.
