Scratch Removal Without Painting (Smart Repair) – Škoda Kamiq (2020)

A Škoda Kamiq 2020 arrived at our service center for a professional repair of several visible scratches caused by parking in a tight city space. The owner’s goal was to preserve the original paint and avoid repainting large body panels, which makes this job an ideal example of using Smart Repair technology. During the inspection, we noticed that one of the damaged spots was deeper, but still suitable for repair without repainting the entire panel — exactly the kind of situation this method handles best.

Scratch Removal Without Painting (Smart Repair)

Smart Repair technology allows localized paint damage to be repaired without unnecessary intervention in surrounding body parts. The procedure on the Škoda Kamiq 2020 included several careful steps:

• thorough cleaning of the affected area
• local sanding to remove the oxidized layer and level the surface
• applying correction materials precisely matched to the original paint shade
• machine polishing to blend the entire surface
• final treatment with a protective product

The result is a repaired area that is practically invisible. The original structure and paint shade remain preserved, and the body looks clean, smooth, and free of distracting marks from the damage. On the Kamiq, the effect was especially noticeable because the scratches were on a dark, high-contrast surface.

Most common questions people search for

1. Can this method repair deep scratches?
Yes, as long as the scratch hasn’t cut deep into the metal or damaged the panel’s structure. Smart Repair can handle more noticeable damage if the paint’s integrity is still preserved.

2. How long does this type of repair take?
Most local repairs are completed within 1 to 3 hours. The method is fast, effective, and doesn’t require unnecessary removal of individual parts.

3. Will there be a visible difference in color after the repair?
No — the repair is done with precise matching to the original paint shade. After polishing, the transition is invisible and the bodywork looks uniform.

Conclusion
The Škoda Kamiq 2020 underwent precise scratch removal using Smart Repair, restoring the shine and giving the car a fresh, post-renovation look. Everything was done without unnecessary repainting, quickly, and with an emphasis on preserving the vehicle’s original appearance. This method is an ideal choice for anyone who wants to remove minor to medium paint damage without affecting larger areas.
