Car lover? Car dent? Read on.........

Has time taken it's toll on your vehicle? 

Is the bodywork beginning to look a little worse for wear? Are you sick and tired of looking at your car dents everyday? In that case maybe it is time to consider visiting your local car body repair shop for some car dent repair.  There are two main methods to repairing car dents, either totally removing the dents or by hiding them with the clever use of paint. Either method will make your car look as good as new.

Car repair shops help their customers  in repairing dents. They work out the kind of repair that your car needs. If there are slight dents,  it does not really need major repair.  If the car dent cannot be repaired because it is too large they can either remove the whole panel or that section of the car before attaching a newer portion, followed by painting.

At Scuffs N Scratches the customer is consulted at every stage of the process, with each option discussed before coming to an agreement as to the type of work to be carried out.  Whatever you decide, our friendly technicians will see to it that he achieves what you want. While waiting for the process to be completed, you can confidently sit around and relax or even better, go into Liverpool & shop (5 mins).

We guarantee you that they do our work efficiently at a very reasonable price.  Why not visit us now and free yourself and treat yourself to a dent-free vehicle.

Jack Frost is on his way - care for your car!

If last year is anything to go by then we could be in for more snow, ice, and hazardous driving conditions.  Should you be unfortunate enough to be involved in a bump or scrape it's not the end of the world.  No longer will a repair cost an arm and a leg, at least not if you're SMART.

SMART stands for Small Medium Area Repair Technique, these techniques are well known to car dealers and traders and used to repair all types of dent, scratches and scuffs at a fraction of the cost and time of a traditional repair.

The main reason SMART repairs are so more cost effective is that SMART repair technicians carry a full paint scheme in their van, allowing them to mix the exact paint colour on the spot allowing a smaller area to be painted. Most people are aware a paint code is stamped on their car however for each code there can be a number of different variants, a smart repairer will paint the exact colour to keep the repair nice and small whereas your traditional bodyshop will use a standard shade and blend out to minimise the colour difference.

Local company SCUFFS 'N' SCRATCHES  offer a full SMART repair service.  They offer great body shop repairs at a fraction of the time or cost.  Whether it's a dent, scratch, or a scuffed bumper, most repairs can be completed in hours rather than days.

Top 4 Reasons to try Alloy Wheel Refurbishment for your Car

Alloy wheels are a fantastic feature on any car, but the demands of driving can soon mean that your car requires an alloy wheel refurbishment. Liverpool, as with other busy cities, is a particularly tough environment for alloy wheels as they can be easily damaged by city centre driving. Loose road surfaces, potholes, tight parking spots, minor accidents and extreme weather conditions can all take their toll on your alloys. Below we take a look at the top benefits of having your wheels refurbished.

1) REFURBISHING CAN  BE CHEAPER THAN REPLACING YOUR WHEELS
In fact, choosing to refurbish your alloys can actually be up to ten times cheaper than replacing them. It is also much quicker and easier to simply choose an alloy wheel refurbishment. Liverpool customers, and those in the surrounding area, can choose from a range of services tailored to suit your wheels from basic blast cleaning to complete refurbishment.


2) A NEW ALLOY COATING IS MORE RESILLIENT THAN THE ORIGINAL
Your car will have looked great when you first bought it but unfortunately, even if you bought a new car, you could find that the alloy coating on the wheels was not of the highest standard and it might be time to go for an alloy wheel refurbishment. Liverpool drivers may find that city driving has left the wheels on their new or used car in need of some attention. Refurbishing your existing wheels is the solution as the alloy coating used on your alloys during refurbishment is likely to be more resilient than that of your original wheels which means you can enjoy smarter alloys for longer.

3) YOU CAN CHOOSE THE COLOUR OF YOUR ALLOYS
Silver alloys look great but then as they are the standard colour choice they’re quite common. Coordinating the colour of your car paintwork with that of your alloy wheels will bring a fresh look to your vehicle and really personalise your car. Changing the colour of your alloy wheels is a much cheaper option to buying a new car if you are looking for a new look from your vehicle and you can even choose from a two tone effect or multiple colour effects for a truly unique look.

4) ANY KERB DAMAGE CAN BE REMOVED
Driving into kerbs when parking or pulling over or driving over potholes can soon cause scrapes, cracks and chips to your alloys and these are a prime reason to consider wheel refurbishment. Merseyside drivers will know that tight parking spaces and heavy traffic can lead to having to pull in or park quickly and in inconvenient places which means that your alloy wheels may become damaged by kerbs. Damage to your alloys, from light scuffs to significant cracks, can be easily repaired to leave your wheels looking smooth and as good (if not better) than new.

How Do You Remove Spray Paint From Your Car?

Finding your car vandalized with a can of spray paint is one sure way to put a damper on your day. This is specially true if, like any proud car owner, you take pains to maintain its appearance. More so if the car that happens to have been victimized is your weekend toy or project car.

Depending on the toughness of your car's paint (urethane paint is extremely hardy), the amount of paint that has been sprayed on and where, and the time the spray paint has been left on your car's paint, the time you will need to restore your car's finish will take from an hour or so to up to half a day. If you have discovered the vandalism pretty early, the spray paint may still be drying and a wash and soap job may be all you need to solve your problem quickly.

If this is not the case, there are many solvents or materials that can be used.  If the car's finish is a bit sensitive or the spray paint has been left to dry for some time, extra care must be taken to make sure that you don't take off your car's paint too. Various chemicals like WD-40, nail polish remover, acetone, rubbing compound, gasoline or spray-on brake parts cleaner can all be used. For car show type paint jobs or finishes, Meguiar's Clay is oftentimes used to make sure that only the spray paint is taken off. However, use of this specialty product is best left to the hands of experts who are familiar with its use. Fine rubbing compound can also be used but, again, care must be exercised as this is an abrasive compound that can take off the car's paint if used improperly.

Remember that all cars have clear coats to protect the actual paint and the chemicals that were mentioned can remove all but the most stubborn or thickly laid-on spray paint. The basic method is to apply a small amount of the compound of your choice (say, acetone) on a clean rag and use a rubbing motion to try to remove the paint. If it is working, the rag will begin to show signs of the color of the spray paint that was used. If your car's paint color starts rubbing off on the rag, this is a clear indicator that you have gone through your car's top coat and are already taking off the car's paint.

If the spray paint is thick in a certain place, try using a plastic scraper to remove the stubborn paint and then use the chemical solution of your choice to remove the rest of the paint. If the spray paint has gotten to the window or windshield glass, acetone would be one of the best chemicals to use and you will be able to remove the paint from the glass easily.

Take care not to use acetone on moulding or rubber seals that have been spray painted as this will soften the rubber which might destroy it prematurely. Strong soap used with a stiff-bristled plastic brush would be a better choice in this case.

The finishing touch after all that work would be to wash your car, or at least the affected area, using car soap liberally on the area you have worked on. Take the car to a body shop to see if you need to have the affected area sprayed with clear coat to protect the underlying paint. By doing the hard work of removing the paint yourself, you will have saved yourself some considerable expense, instead of having the entire job worked on by the body shop.
