What is a car lacquer repair kit? How to repair light scratches in car paint? There’s a difference between car paintwork needed to be repaired and car lacquer needing to be repaired. Car paintwork damage, while annoying, can be taken care of fairly easily and quickly – all you need is a paint touch up kit from Chipex and you’re good to go.
Car lacquer damage is a little bit more tricky to take care of… Car lacquer is the (usually) clear layer applied on top of car paint by manufacturers, to give it a high gloss appearance and protect the paintwork. Step 1: Preparation. Before you begin the repair, make sure the area is clean, dry and free from debris. Using regular car shampoo and a sponge or microfibre cloth, wash the area to remove any dirt and grime, before drying with a microfibre cloth or chamois.
