If your car is coated, then the detailer polished the area, the coating is firstly gone in that area, so rightfully they need to reapply the coating in that area.

Secondly, how deep do u think is the scratch? has it gone through that u can see the base primer colour (usually grey)? You can try to assess the depth of the scratch by using your fingernail and lightly "scratch" across the scratch. If it feels very deep that u may need to touchup, otherwise u can try to compound it a few rounds by hand. U can use a microfiber towel and apply a dash of compound then rub on it.

Again, please remember that after u have done coating, any polishing/compounding will most likely remove the coating. So it should be reapplied.

Thx for ur response, i have no idea where the scratch comes from

When i ask to fix the sctatch (on that day after coating),the detailer told me he had tried to reduced but cant fully remove before applying coating. So the scratch is under the protected coating.

I think its only clearcoat sctatch because when the surface is wet, the scratch is temporarily disappear or hardly noticeable.

Do u think touchup pen like 'fixitpro' can solve this?

Any advice would be appreciated

Hmm, don't think touch up would do much cuz u be just touching up on top of the coating. As the coating wears, the touch up will disappear and the scratch will come back. Perhaps it be best to bring back to detailer to redo that section, else wait a year or two after the coating has worn of to re-detail the car again.

Anyway thx for ur comments smile.gif
