A good friend, Ben, wanted to develope his editing skills so I scratched my own car, a very rare Subaru SVX, so he could film the repair. Get the popcorn and enjoy the movie:  

Stop motion film of a Scuff Sorter repair   You seem to like them, so here is another. A sub 4 minute stop motion film of a 3 hour repair. I started by scuffing the paintwork with a lump of concrete, but that hardly seemed enough so I attacked it again with a disc cutter, […]

Many people have a “favourite” make of car, and for all sorts of reasons. There are a number of aspirational brands out there that attract customers, sometimes it’s just price, style or reliability (perceived and real). For this family they loved the whole Toyota thing, so on the drive were included an Avensis and a […]

Citroen C4 rear bumper insert Sometimes a scuff is restricted to a small area in a large panel and other times it is located within a small well defined area as this one. This is a case of a bumper doing exactly what it was designed to do and as a result it was easy […]

Do you need your A/C on all the time?   At the weekend I needed to visit the family in the North East, a 450 mile round trip and a chance to see if the tales of hungry A/C was true or not. 200 miles up on motorway and duel carriageway, A/C on – 46.8 […]

Plastic Bumper Dents Though known for 10 years of paintwork repairs, Scuff Sorter is often called to look at an area of damage with very little actual paintwork damage.

I was advised to look for this one on the 911uk.com site, thank you Keith T:   996.2 came with small crease in the back bumper. No doubt from defeating the very short-range reverse sensors. […]

Something Different for Scuff Sorter today Not so uncommon these days, but some cars are susceptible to having problems with the plastic lenses on the headlights after 5 years or so. There doesn’t seem to be a pattern to the failure, but it makes night driving difficult for the driver, who can’t see the road ahead or […]

It was nice of one of my Customers to post on the Scuff Sorter Facebook page – https://www.facebook.com/ScuffSorter   I don’t mind the world knowing Pete! Pete came to sort out a “wee contusion” on my current vehicle after Working Breakfast last week. It was freezing cold, blowing a gale and snowing intermittently. Parked neatly on […]

Saab 9-3 Vs bollard You may think that I spend my evenings planting low bollards around the county so that I can catch out some unsuspecting motorists. Well I don’t, but that doesn’t stop some of you catching the ones I didn’t plant. This Saab 9-3 reversed into a bollard and folded the lower bumper. […]
