We use professional techniques and products to remove or significantly reduce the appearance of many imperfections. However, very deep scratches (down to the primer or metal) may require repainting. Similarly, some set-in stains (like ink, dyes, or old spills) may not be completely removable from upholstery or carpets. We always assess the vehicle and provide realistic expectations before starting work.
