One of our regular customers unfortunately had a bit of a crash with a bush and her Ford Kuga was left with some heavy scratches down one side of the car as pictured below..

We agreed to carry out a 2 stage machine polish to try and rectify the defects, the cutting stage to remove the scratches followed by a refining stage to restore the clarity and shine of the paintwork.


I used the Rupes machine polishing system to achieve the finished results below -

Pleased to say the customer was delighted with the outcome - saving her a trip to the bodyshop and at a fraction of the cost.


I would like to add these scratches were removed as they were all on the surface - a good test as to whether a scratch can be removed by machine polishing is that if you can catch it with your finger nail then it’s usually top deep to be fully removed - but an improvement can usually be made.
