Repairing small chips and scratches that have gone through the paint, without respraying the panel: the spot is cleaned and lightly sanded, filled with paint mixed to the car's factory colour code, then levelled and polished so it blends in. Stops rust starting on bare metal and is far cheaper than painting; shallow marks that only sit in the clear coat are removed by polishing instead.
